Does she like movies/cartoons? You could always try starting a movie at 1:30pm... with a snack provided. It's not trying to make her sleep or nap, it's just a movie time where she can rest. If you're lucky, she might conk out sometimes! Especially as you've said that she has trouble and is resistent to going to bed at night.

Can I ask how your time-outs work? I forget. Like... do you ask her to go to her room, sit at the table, or what?
I tell her to sit in a chair in the living room. That way I can see her I just try not to talk to her. She was neglected and I don't want her to feel abandoned. But I can't have her destroy my house.
