2 year old has problems going to sleep

My daughter is 26 months old, very active. I have tried putting her in a sleep schedule since her birth but every day, naptime or bedtime is a drama time.She will keep saying NO whenever I utter those 2 words.At night, I follow the routine but every day she takes more than an hour to fall asleep.I have tried early bedtime around 8 pm or even late bedtime around 10 pm. Nothing works. At naptime, she sometimes takes 2 hours to fall asleep.She will continue talking to her cuddly and tossing and turning in her crib for most of the time.
I have given her time-out, scolded her, given good lucrative deals for next day, sang lullaby ot pat her back.As soon as I leave her room, she is back to what she was doing earlier.
She sleeps around 8-9 hours at night and 1 hour at naptime.

Please advise.I am concerned if this will affect her health

Dont worry about her talking and tossing around , simply leave the room do not go in and out and let her get on with it, maybe she has picked up on your anxiety about her not going to sleep. Does she Nap for a time during the Day?perhaps she doesnt need as much as she gets so check that out.Dont utter the words just do it you are only feeding into the issue, read her a story and put her to bed 8pm is good as long as she hasnt slept for hours during the day.this is not an issue to punish over you cannot force sleep.Good Luck
