She can go several days without an accident. Though she mostly wets her pants in the morning before getting out of bed, she also wets her pants in the middle of the day. She has even done so while she is sitting outside of the bathroom door playing with her toys. She is a smart little girl who is very strong willed and defiant. She must change herself when she has an accident but lately she seems to be content to just continue playing in her wet wants.We have tried just about everything.

My youngest step daughter used to wet her bed in the early hours of the morning.  We stopped this by getting her up just before we went to bed around 11pm and taking her to the toilet.  Also restricted drinks after 5pm.  During the day, we just asked every so often if she needed to go to the loo.  And if too longer gap between visits she had to go and try even if she thought she didnt need to go.  Also the bed wetting and "accidents" were down played to being no big deal so as to not associate negative stuff with the whole thing.  Most kids either get too caught up in what they are doing or having to much fun to notice they need to go to the loo or they can be stressed about other events in their lives.

You know even though your son's level is 28 months he may just not be ready. some children with special needs have what is called splinter skills...meaning maybe your son is 28 months functioning level in some areas, but not in others. I work with a seven year old disabled little girl and we have been training the same way and the same amount of time you have...and nothing here either. Sometimes she just happens to go and we cheer and clap and stuff but sometimes I seriously doubt if she really knows why we are cheering for her and I think she mostly just likes the fact that we are paying positive attention to her. However her therapists and teachers all agree that it doesn't hurt to toilet her on a regular schedule at all times because hopefully sooner or later she will start to comprehend what is going on. We also use pecs, and switches that say stuff like "bathroom please" that we have her press everytime we take her to the bathroom. We also read Elmo uses the potty everytime we go to the bathroom with her. Good Luck!

Yeah its Dawn. Apparently she hasn't showered since she entered the house. She got washed in Richards T shirt as so no one would see her naked and then dried her self with Lea's towel. Then she left the vest on the radiator to dry and the smell of B.O wafted around. Lovely

I don't know about other guy's but I love love a girl that gets super wet. It's an extreme turn on especially when I'm going down on her. so I wouldn't consider getting wet a problem.

Please read this all the way through, my heart is with you. I have two boys 10 and 6 that did the same thing (flushing). Charging 10 cents every time I found the bowl full stopped my problem. But your daughter seems like she has hit rebellion already. My 6 year old became very sore and he learned his lesson at 4 about wiping. But with your daughter "dirty down there" is not going to work. She's 10 not 4, don't patronize her, think back to when you were 10. Let's face it we were all picking up info from friends about sex. You 3 parents have to get together as a group and realize she is not a child she is a young lady/woman. Lectures and threats are not going to work anymore. She needs to start making her own decisions, educated decisions. Talk to a gynecologist get facts about what could happen if she doesn't clean up her act. Pictures if necessary, of what these diseases can do to her body. She could pick up staf infection just to name one, and wind up in the hospital. (My husband being a fire fighter had a call at one time about a woman with an upset stomach. She wasn't a wiper either her whole body smelt of crap. When they got her to the hospital because no one wanted to check between her legs (which was where the real discomfort was) they found her vagina was infested, stuffed with maggots.)Please do everything in your power to educate her in a way that will help her to help herself make the right choices. Also is she happy with herself, looks, school, and friends. These are all very important to her right now. If she doesn't have it yet soon she will be starting her cycle. You think you have problems now, wait. This is the summer of change for your family. Make it that way, help her, she needs you all just to hear her, and realize she is not a little girl, or even a big girl, she is a young lady/woman. A new hair style, a light colored eyeshadow if not wearing makeup, a few new clothes, you might want to rethink the panty thing. Is she wearing panties that make her feel like a young lady/woman, or is she wearing widebottomed, widesided diaperwear. Help her to feel different about herself. Chin up, no one ever said this parent thing was easy, but think of the good times, keep an open mind, and email me if you need to. We have all been there in one way or another.

Maybe your daughter just didn't feel comfortable bathing in your home because it is a new situation to her. I'm not sure if you mean she showed up at your home smelling and that's why your concerned or it's just that she didn't bathe while she was there. It's also hard to say because I don't know what her living situation is right now does she live on her own or with a family. If you feel you must talk to her about it I would do it gently and let her know that she should feel comfortable in your home and take full advantage of the things you have there. Let her know if she's got washing to do to bring it with her and use your washing machine and dryer. Please don't tell her she smells or that you think she is a bad influence on your children she may take it the wrong way and not come to visit anymore.

She could be dehydrated. You should ask your Dr. also re. symptoms of Diabetes, such as a fruity smell to the breath, increased urination , can't recall the rest. Are there control issues at your house? I only ask because an environment where things are either out of control or one or more people are tending to over-control, that is a perfect set-up for eating disorders. Food & it's consumption ( or lack thereof) becomes the one thing the child can have some control over. You'd better seriously lookinto this with someone with expertise in this field, be safe.

Take her to a doctor.  It's possible that she has an infection of some sort.  It's also possible that she's acting out because of some sort of trauma (stress, abuse, being abandoned by her parents).  This isn't normal behavior for a healthy 9-yr-old.\n\nGood luck!

Obviously something has changed somewhere with your daughter's life.  Children don't suddenly change drastically in their behavior and in their approach to school.  Neither do children suddenly become "lazy".  We need only watch children playing to realize they are not lazy.  \n\nSome things you might check out are whether she is being bullied at school, for example.  Is she happy at school?   How does she get along with her teacher?  Her classmates?  Has she changed schools?  Has there been a change in her life at home?  A separation?  A new baby?  In order to address this problem, you need to find the cause of it.  \n\nAnother area to think about is that there is often quite a jump academically from third grade to fourth grade.  Children are expected to be much more mature in their apporach to school and learning in general in fourth grade.  She may be having a difficult time adapting to that change and to the different expectations.\n\nI tend to disagree with those who have suggested ADD, though it is often not identified in girls because the signs in girls are often quite different than with boys.  Keep in mind that if you do pursue the question of ADD/ADHD that there is no actual "test" that identifies ADD - it is identified by using questionaires.  However, if she were my daughter I would certainly get her a good physical check up, and make sure everything is ok medically.\n\nMy gut reaction is that there is something going on that you don't know about ... what you have described is not typical, and you should get to the bottom of it and find the cause.  The change in your daughter seems too drastic to me to just be underachievement if all was well until this school year.

We just potty trained our 3 1/2 yewar old. He's our middle child. We thought he'd never be ready. Summer is a great time. first I bought him new underwear that he picked out, and after his firt morning diaper I put them on. And told him " good bye diapers " which he repaets all the time. Then we started sitting him on the toilet, ( with a training seat on it from walmart)  we have a selection of books he like sitting there by the toilet, we hand him one, and say "OK, if you make a poop go in the water , we'll wash out hands and have a popsicle ! " It took about 2 weeks of this exact method, and he poops there every time now, and sometimes just tried in hopes of a popsicle. We buy those cheep Koolaid popsicles in the long plastic tubes . Works great , we have to pick up a box every time, I think you could bribe with something sugar free if needed., Also\n( and some people may think this is cruel )  I told him to change himself one day so he could see what he has been doing in there ! my husband and I took the bathroom rug out, and stood close by with wipes at the ready, he took his diaper off and said ' OH NO I POO POO ! UCKY ! I could see then it was starting to click thus we explained why he needed to get the poop into the pot!

Depending on how you are getting around, you will probably use a bedside commode (aka. potty chair) or a bedpan.  YOu might not feel like going all of the way to the toilet the first few days.  But , they shouldn't make you use a diaper for that, that wouldn't be right and I would complain if they did.

she might have a rash, which is normal for little kids to get. Most likely she has a yeast infection. No matter what, go to the pediatrician and maybe get her on some antibiotics.

girls are way more self concious than guys. Try starting off with a romantic shower for two, if she feels clean, maybe she'll be less self concious.

It's normal.  Just talk to her, and be there to answer any questions.  If she's a good smart kid, you shouldn't have any thing to worry about.  What's important is that she can make good decisions.

My daughter is 8 and has ADHD, she would also do that, but only at night while she slept. Take him to his Dr and see if that is the cause or if anything else may be wrong. Wetting theirselves can be because of many causes, not just ADHD.

In bed: She likes to try new things and isn't afraid to try something crazy. She trusts that I won't harm her and is therefore comfortable with new ideas. \n\nOut of bed: She isn't clingy. She gives me my space, but knows that I won't neglect her. She doesn't care if I go out with the boys every once in a while because I treat her right and I make sure that she gets the attention she deserves.
