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

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