It is a phase but you want to nip it in the bud now while she's still young. She has to learn that it's not ok for that kind of behavior. You can also still do the whole time out thing on her. Tell her no T.V. for sassing. Or stay in her room til dinner. Or even Sit in a corner and think about what she said to you until she can say sorry. Believe it or not it does really work.
We had to do the same thing with both our kids. They don't get their way when they are bad and sass back. They even get their games, xbox, and T.V. taking away when they act up like that.
Hope this helps and good luck..

Nip it in the bud now, that way you don't give your child control. You can do it in a nice, but firm way. Let her know that you will not tolerate her being sassy and advise her of the consequences she will face if her behavior continues. Trick is, you have to stick to your guns. If she disobeys, she already knows the consequences and you have to punish her. Otherwise we will see you on Maury in a few years telling the world how you live in fear of your 8 or 9 year old. Stop her while she is young.

I have a 7 year old daughter and when she stared kindergarden she was acting weird. Her teacher most kids do that because they are making new friends and people you hang out with can somehow change you. Even if it is a family member. She will change when she starts middle school and it is life.

I BELIEVE IT IS A PHASE -- BOTH OF MINE WENT THROUGH IT -- BUT YOU HAVE TO STAY ON TOP OF IT FROM THE BEGINNING SO THAT SHE DOESN'T THINK IT'S OKAY TO BE THAT WAY.
I WOULDN'T BE OVERLY HARSH WITH HER, JUST LET HER KNOW THAT YOU SEE A CHANGE IN HER BEHAVIOR AND THAT SHE'S PROBABLY JUST TESTING THE WATERS AND ALL, BUT THAT IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR FOR HER AND YOU EXPECT HER TO SNAP OUT OF IT SHORTLY.
SOMETIMES WHEN WE MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF SOMETHING, IT COMES BACK AND BITES US IN THE BUTT......FOR EXAMPLE.......SHE MAY SEE THAT SHE GETS MORE ATTENTION FROM MOMMIE AND DADDY WHEN SHE SASSES, AND BEING AWAY FROM YOU ALL DAY, IN HER LITTLE MIND, THAT MIGHT BE WHAT SHE'S AFTER (ATTENTION). AND IF SHE DOES GET MORE THAT WAY, SHE MAY JUST GET WORSE WITH THE SASSY BEHAVIOR.
GOOD LUCK!

It is only normal for her to feel confident and full of life at age 5. The new school experience will invigorate her boredom at home and at the same time introduce her to new people and friendships for the first time.
When she reaches puberty, she will lose alot of her self confidence and self esteem and she will need a hug on many times from you, then.
Enjoy the moment. You'll remember it much later on though.

It is just a phase...she is seeing how other kids act and it can rub off on her...you need to kindly tell her that she needs to not do as other's do and be a nice young lady no matter what other's do...hopefully she will understand...just keep reminding her that it is not acceptible and eventually she will stop.

It's a phase but snap her out of it now, and start teaching her to be herself

This is very normal. I sent each of my innocent children off to kindergarten and got back opinionated little brats.
