Right, the means by which we develop the child is to reward them when they do good and punish them for doing bad. The key to teaching them NOT to lie is showing them it doesn't help them avoid punishment and only makes the consequenses that much worse. Teaching a child that lying only makes things worse and how stressful it is trying to constantly conceal the lies is the best way to teach the child that the best option is honesty.
Every kid is going to attempt to do bad to see if he/she can get away with it. The easier you make it, the more they will try.
