You're doing fine, just ignor her. Don't give her any reinforcment while she's
kicking and screeming, positive or negative. Then (most important), when
she's done kicking, screeming, ranting, raving and crying (or when the
decibel level lowers enough that you can get near her) go over, pick her up,
cuddle her, kiss her and tell her it's all right.

This is what we do with our 3 year old and it works just fine.
