I'm with you. Make them scream it out. You're the boss. Not her. She's looking for you to set boundaries.
We had to do that to our 4 year old, too. Locked him in from the outside. He'd scream and try to break down the door. He'd fall asleep with his feet on the floor and torso passed out laying on the bed.
Turns out he was on the autism spectrum and was having panic attacks. We had to take a whole new approach. Kids on the spectrum can have a hard time regulating their sleep pattern and we found melatonin to really help.
Good luck.
