Child psychologist: I recommend have her see a child psychologist. He/she might be able to get to the cause of this, and help you develop strategies to manage the behavior.

Lying: Try to understand why your child is lying without being confrontational or judgmental .Explain what the consequence of lying might be. Above all set a good example and be praiseworthy when your daughter tells the truth

Remember to make consequences that you will follow through with, if you don't your child will find that lying has no real consequences and will likely continue

Have a psychiatrist: evaluate your daughter and see if she has an underlying psychiatric disorder.
