time out not working

And neither does anything else I've tried. It has been hard for me to find something that works with my 2 year old lately. She has started some behaviors that I know are typical with her age, but still need to be corrected.

Everything I read seems to talk about time-out. She could care less if she was in time out for 30 minutes. (Haven't tried that yet, but have done several minutes.) She will just sit and not be bothered by the fact she is in time out. I have done time out in the store, when playing with a friend, etc. you would think it would bother her she was missing out on something. Nope. So,,, time out is not effective for her because it's not a negative for her.

There is no favorite toy in the house she would just die if it were taken away. And lots of times when she is testing something and knows it will be taken if she continues, she does it again but does not mind if it is taken away.

Anyone have any discipline ideas that are not time out or taking away related?

Thanks for any help!
