When a child has a problem with lying, its best to not give them the opportunity. Don't ask "are you wearing perfume?" You already know the answer. Say "I see you chose to break the rules and wear perfume, you need to go take a shower and wash it off" or whatever.

I also think this is a bigger issue than just lying. Mdesi used the word "calculated" and that is so true. She needs therapy to get to the root of the issue. Is it that she feels a need to control her world and does it through lying. Or does she feel power when she manipulates others. It could be many things. But the lying will not stop until the root issue is resolved.
