I agree, that making the punishment for lying much worse then the punishment for the offense a alone, is a key part of an successful strategy. If the kids continue to lie, even when it is clear they understand the wrath that awaits them for getting caught behaving that way, it could be time to find an uninterested third party for kids to talk to. So many things could lie beneath the lies. Some kids lie to be defiant and just fight their parents wishes in any way they can, but most kids lie because they think that lying it is easier than telling the truth and facing the consequences.
