www.parentslounge.co.uk is really good.
not always that simple im afraid
Robert Winston also did an experiment on an unruly child of that age where he got the mother to give the child a daily dose of fish oil (omega3and 6) and it calmed the child down enormously. you can get it in the bassets soft and chewy vitimin range now.
of course, it could simply be down to not enough physical activity outdoors due to the weather - this has also been scientifically proven to have an effect on childrens behaviour. Do not underestimate the power of fresh air and a bit of running around!
Keep going and she will get the idea. Its a long boring annoying painful process teaching children how to behave. I think you sound like youre doing all the right things. Just keep going.
Shes probably not even remorseful tbh, just upset that youre upset.
Parenting is thankless, especially at this age.
