My 6 year old GD has recently started telling lies, not just tiny ones either. She fools her parents most of the time, but us grand parents are more of a canny lot. Parents have explained that telling lies is not acceptable and she is being punished for doing so. How do we stop her?

My sister had an invisible friend who my sister always said was responsible for any naughty behaviour. This friend had a fantastic name and joined the family when my sister was about 4, moving out after school started but remaining in family folklore to this day.
