I understand that may not work for your daughter either, especially as she is so young... but as it's been stated there has to be some kind of consequence.

As for the other kids respecting her space, as the other ladies said, this is also a must. Some people just need more space than others and there is nothing wrong with that.
Removal of privileges works great with my son, too... and he still will be 2 years old in June... He understands very well that if he misbehaves he will not see his favorite cars for a while... I agree with the other ladies, not one is punishing their emotions. We are teaching them boundaries and self-control. You can acknowledge her emotions, but still a consequence to bad behavior is needed and consistency of course.
