Lying... and letting the imagination go wild! Love these days! I told my son that when he'd lie i'd see the mommy spot appear on his forehead. I told him only mom's can see it when kids lie. It seems to be working... for now. He did look in the mirror to check it out and i pointed it out to him reminding him that only i could see it. He now occasionally hides his forehead when he's messing with me.
Sharing is another big one. I encourage him to share and warn him that if he isn't sharing that I will remove the toys and he can go in his room. At this point, he's an only child so I haven't been faced with this very often.

I would ignore her when she lies about other kids hitting her... Tell her to handle things herself and not be a tattle tale. And do it every time she tries to do it...
As far as not sharing etc. I would put her in time out every time she doesn't want to play nice, and let her out from time out when she is ready to share.... That's what I do with mine. He could sit there all day for all I care... He's not getting up until he's ready to play nice and share with his brother or friends! He usually throws a tantrum for about 10 minutes while in time out, but when he decides to calm down, he get up and comes back over to where we're playing and joins in nicely. It takes patience, effort and consistency, but it's well worth it!
