I can honestly say that I hate lyers and I particularly don't like it when my kids lie to me. My oldest lied about everything ( she's honest about things now though). Even things that she didn't really have to lie about. My youngest doesn't lie too often. She's very honest.
Kids will lie to try and get away with things they know they're in trouble for. When I catch my kids in a lie, they get grounded. If they fess up and tell the truth then the punishment is less severe for just telling the truth. I think that's important so they can grow knowing that lying will not get them anywhere but into more trouble.
