Holding urine as a child?

Question

My daughter of 5 was told that she was not to visit the toilet during her lunch hour, and i would like to complain to the Pontllanfraith Infants School about this, is there any information that i can print off before i make my complaint to the school, either about the cross contimanation of her being made to wear another childs underwear, or if it is against her rights as a child to be able to use the toilet as and when she would like too.

Thanks

Answer 1

I don't have a clue where this school is but you need to pull her out of there.  A 5 year old child should not be forced to hold it for any extended length of time.  These people are crazy or just to lazy to take her to the toilet during lunch....

Answer 2

Try this angle:

"Another cause of bladder infections or UTI is waiting too long to urinate. The bladder is a muscle that stretches to hold urine and contracts when the urine is released. Waiting very long past the time you first feel the need to urinate causes the bladder to stretch beyond its capacity which over time can weaken the bladder muscle. When the bladder is weakened it may not empty completely and some urine is left in the bladder which may increase the risk of urinary tract infection or bladder infection. "

You may not find much on cross-contamination - the most common line of thinking is that normal laundry is sufficient.  But I would definitely go the route of your child's rights!

However, as a caution, before you file any complaints, make sure you get the whole story.  I've taught before , and you'd be amazed at the difference between how a child percieves a stituation and what really happened.  Just make sure you don't lose credibility with the school in case it was just a misunderstanding.

it is against all people to not be aloud to go to the bath room especially a 5 year old she can get kid knee problems just telling them that she was not aloud to go should be enough fight for her she cant do it good luck
