At your age no matter how you try to tell her it will probably be embarrassing.  There is no reason it should be all of us women go through it.  I never told my mom because we never talked about stuff like that either.  My daughter is 9 and I have already talked to her about periods and some sex stuff.  I want nothing more than for my daughter to be able to come to me for any thing!  Your mom probably feels the same way.  She has been through it to and she probably has some good advice.  \n\nIf you think you may start soon I would try to carry a tampon or pad whichever you prefer with you at all times just in case.  That way you will be prepared.\n\nOh, by the way, try using the spell checker!  I got what you were saying but it may help in the future.

i'm a 17 year old girl and i'm not much older than a 15 year old and i think that it's absolutely great that you and your daughter can communicate like that, if you feel comfortable with buying her one and she really wants one, why not?! she's not hurting herself, or harming anyone else, and if she really wants one why don't you ask her what kind of vibrator she's interested in? if she's mature about it, i don't think you will have any problems!\n\ntimes have changed and i think it's great to be that open with your kids, atleast you are communicating and you don't have a child who you know nothing about!\ngood luck with everything :)

Go to Goodnights.com, where you will find a lot of information that will help you.  Bed wetting usually results because a person is growing very quickly and their bladder hasn't caught up yet, and more boys have bed wetting problems than girls.  It is something that also usually clears up on its own.  Bed wetting can also occur because of severe stress or upset, and if this is the case, it would be worth talking to someone like a counselor or psychologist to help deal with any issues that are distrupting your normal functions.  For further information, check out www.nobedwetting.com and www.childdevelopment.com.  Talk to your parents.  This is nothing to be ashamed or embarassed about, many, many, many young men go through it.   In the interim, don't drink anything at least two hours before going to bed and try and pee as much as you can before going to bed. Spend 15 minutes just stretching just before going to bed.   Try sleeping on your back to keep any additional pressure off your bladder.  Have a water-proof mattress protector, and use something like "Goodnights" briefs.  Good luck, and ignore some of the really stupid and insensitive answers you will no doubt get to this quesiton.

Give her prunes and juice that has prune juice, or apple juice.  Also do not make an issue over her going potty, you can actually give her psychological problems and there are certain complexs in psychology that I can not rememeber the name of, off hand.  I think she may have a bowel stricture.  Have you had this checked?  By the way take her to another doctor for another evaluation also.  Maybe go to 3 doctors.  You can also buy infant glycerine suppositories, or give her metamucil with lots of water, they have orange flavored.  I am a nurse and have a psychology major also

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.

enter into therapy there may be something you need to address before you can stop with the bed wetting.\n\nOr any of the following... don't drink before you go to sleep, pee before you go to sleep, set your alarm to wake yourself periodically through the night.

my daughters are 18months and 3 months and the oldest was doing the same thing my doctor said try a humidifier at night.  also you can turn your shower on hot let the bathroom steam up good then run a warm bath maybe put some calming bath soap in the water and just let her play untill the water starts getting cold or she starts getting tired whatever comes first.  when you get her out dry her off good and put a t-shirt on her nothing to heavy(sometimes wearing heavey clothing can cause them to get hot and make them caugh also)then let her sleep with the humidifer.  after a couple nights i could really hear a difference in my 18 month olds breathing she slept more peacefull the sounds from the machine also sooth my 3 month old to where she is now sleeping better also

Well, first of all, her bladder most likely is not fully developed and so it's not her fault.  So, please don't traumatize your child by yelling at her about it.  Just comfort her and deal with the issue.  Here are a few things that can help your child, but will not make her bladder develop any faster:  \n1. get a plasic mattress cover on the bed.  This makes it very uncomfortable when she pees it and thus she'll really try hard to get up when she's gotta go.\n2.  Don't load her down with drinks before for bedtime.  Give her at least one to one and a half hours before bed in which she isn't drinking.  Also, make sure she goes before going to bed.\n3.  When all else fails, get some Pullups for the girl so you don't have such a mess.  She should only wear them to bed though.\n\nHope this helps...

you may want to respect her wishes and let her handle it. i know it has to be hard for a parent to do-- but consider your daughter's perspective. ( i was the kid who got eggs tossed at her, so i know how cruel kids can be...) 14 year olds....think they sprouted from the ground. any parental involvement is generally discouraged by them, and it really may cause her more embarassment. this is an age where kids want to show that they can hold their own.\n\nthe best thing you can do is let her handle it, but be reassuring that it's not her "fault"-- a lot of girls feel that if there were something that they could change about themselves, thigns would be better. let her know that some boys are jerks. chances are, she is not the only one he did something like that to, and he probably has a reputation for being a jerk. \n\nif your daughter is willing to let it go, let it be. however, if this is a part of a pattern of how she's been treated at school... you may want to consider options to intervene.

I knew a girl with the same problem, best thing to try and solve that is make sure no liquids about an hour before bedtime, and sometime during the night go into his room wake him up and take him to the bathroo, it work for my niece, she was a very deep sleeper, over a period of time of them getting used to waking up they will start on their own

Try popsicles, juice, or pedialyte as some kids just don't like water. With that in mind as long as you avoid high sugar drinks, and caffeinated drinks like soda, you are still flushing her system out.  Cranberry juice or even OJ works well as they are high in acid, and sometimes helps to flush out the bacteria be cautious because the acid can cause her more pain.\n\nNow kids especially young girls are more prone to UTI's as they do not understand the importance of wiping FRONT TO BACK. \n\nIf she is having a lot of pain you can try Motrin as it is an anti-inflammatory (works really well for muscle pain and the bladder is a muscle) and will help with bladder pain. You do not want to ask for a prescription pain reliever as it will cause urinary retention which you want to avoid. There are over the counter products that coat the bladder called AZO (pyridium) that can be given, but call your pediatrician first as i dont think it is recomended in children that young. (It will cause her urine to be bright orange)\n\nAlso avoid baths, especially bubble baths as sitting in standing water in the tub introduces bacteria to the urethra. \n\nAs far as the not listening to her, this is a case of peter wolf. This might just have been what she needed to learn that you have to be honest about when you feel bad. Also if she is having issues about school, make sure everything is alright there, talk to her teacher and make sure there is not something else going on. She is at an age that imagination and reality are not separate. This is common and is not a "lying" issue. It is a developmental issue.

stick by her. What was she doing having a baby at 14, anyway? Be kind, and caring. listen to her, even if what she tells you has been said again and again.
