tried and angry?

I am facing a 4 yrs old kid who will easily get angry when she was tried but still want to play and refuse to sleep. sometime she will angry for nothing. When she angry for nothing, most of the time I would try to talk to her and let her focus on other thing and later she will agree to sleep.
But someone told me i should punish her instead of doing all the talking thing. Beat her, she will know that it is not right to angry for nothing.

What do u think?

Answers:
The reason she acts out like that is because she is too tired. It's important that a child lay down as soon as they show signs of being tired. (They slow down a bit, they rub their eyes, they get quiet...that sort of thing) If you wait too long, they get what we think is a second wind and because they are too tired the get very emotional and hyped up. my daughter starts to throw temper tantrum and then plays very loud and starts doing everything she knows she's not supposed to do.

Please don't hit your child. That teaches violence and that's not the right lesson you want her to learn. Not all children like to sleep. There are three things you can't force a child to do. Eat, sleep and poop in the potty all the time (that's what my daughter's pedi said) If you just sit down with her when you sees the signs of getting tired and maybe read a book or watch a fav television show with the volume down so she has to be quiet to hear, you'll have more success than whoopin' her I promise. It also gives you close quality time to bond.
