My daughter or 3 1/2 wets her self three times a day and has done so for about four months?

Question

i ask her and she said she doesnt no why she is doing, it some times its more than three times a day she also does it at school.

Answer 1

If these symptoms began four month ago, she probablly does not have an infection.  I would try to remember if somthing traumatic may have happened to her four months ago.  Be gentle, don't panic.  She may have just decided that she doesn't want to be a big girl yet.  This is something that only she can control, so, it might be a control issue.  Or she may just be under a lot of stress.  Is that when she started Preschool.?  Could something be going on at school that she is fearful of?  Is there a new baby at your house? Talk to her pediatrician to get more  ideas and rule out anything physical.  Do not rule our some form of abuse.  Good luck.

Answer 2

She is only three and a half. It is normal. People forget that young children under the age of 5 are not truly potty trained. There is a lot for them to do and remember. First they have to recognize the feeling, stop the feeling, then stop what they are doing and go to the bathroom and make the feeling work again. It is three times a day. Look at the amount of beverages your child is consuming and what her activities are when she is having the activities. They are ways you can help her but discipline is not one of them. She needs help with her self help skill, Gross motor and memory skills. Try having her use the bathroom before your child starts a major activity or goes outside. This is when most children have accidents. What ever you do...Never use a pull up or call her a baby. This will do much more harm. When she is dry or uses the bathroom make sure you reward her. Just a little pat on the back or I'm proud will do fine. Don't remind her of her accidents when you give her praise. Just the praise. She will get it. If she cries when she urinates she may have a yeast infection and this will contribute to the accidents.

Answer 3

If she was potty trained before I would consider taking her to the doctor to see if there is any physical problems such as a UTI.

If she was potty trained before she was ready she might be regressing. I would start all over again. Get underwear not pullups or diapers and prompt her all the time. She can still wear diapers to bed. Try a reward system for remembering. Children at that age may get very interested in something and "forget" about the signal that they need to go.

Answer 4

Have her checked for a bladder or urinary tract infection.

Answer 5

stress and harsh emotions can cause children to revert back to early stages. You may want to find out if anything happened at school with a teacher or another student taht caused her , for lack of a better term, psychological trauma.

Answer 6

take her to the doctor she may have a UTI, especially if she was able to stay dry previously. if not, she may just be too involved in what she is doing at the time and somewhat lazy about going. my money is on the UTI; little girls are succeptible and do not always have symptoms.

Answer 7

it happens

kids do it as a sign of emotional insecurity(i read in some journal)

spend time with her, show her you love her and hug her etc.

Answer 8

Sometimes children get so engrossed in play that they forget to listen to their bodies and go to the bathroom. Since it's been going on for 4 months I believe there are other things going on. If she was completely potty trained before and is now starting to do this then there could be psychological problems. Also, ask her teacher when she has her accidents...is it after naptime, after lunch, before she gets picked up, ect. Then narrow it down to find when she does it most and go from there.

Answer 9

maybe coz' she likes it..

Answer 10

she might have a bladder infection!
