Almost 6 year old with attitude

Hi my DD is 6 in march. She has developed a massive attitude. She speaks to me like I'm dirt and stamps her feet and huffs alot if she doesn't get what she wants. How would you deal with a child like that? I usually ignore and then speak to her when she's calmed down and tell her she should never to anyone in that matter. She does say sorry and usually I take a treat away from her such as time watching I pad or sweets. She is just so argumentative. Is this normal for her age?

It does seem a bit early for backchat.

How does she react when you take away treats?

@JiltedJohnsJulie sorry for delay in replying. Usually she doesn't really care and she back chats me saying so etching like "I don't even care I'll just do something else". She cries if she doesn't get chocolate or sweets and her sister who has been good still gets hers. She'll storm off and cones back 10 minutes later saying sorry and shell never talk to me like that again but obviously she does.

Does she have any gadgets? My Dd is older but recently I've discovered that if she talks to me "like dirt" she loses her phone for 10 minutes each time. That's made her stop and think.

Before we did this told her that sexy time she did it, she'd be going to bed 10 minutes earlier.
