I think with some kids the harder we push the more they pull away. Have you tried to do activities that she enjoys with just the two of you. I had a friend growing up that her mom took her for tea once a month. They would go to a coffee shop and when she was little she got apple juice...and then they would shop and hang out. She said her mom never pushed her for conversation they just made small talk...they connected. Is there a tradition you can start to connect with her?????? Or even her and a friend?
