Help with Ideas to Help My 7 Yr. Old Daughter Not Pee in Her Pants!!!!

Let her choose any panties that she wants at the store and then choose some that she definitely doesn't want (ie. boys underwear) and as long as she keeps them dry she can wear the ones she chose but if she pees in them she has to wear the others. If that doesn't work maybe you could get a jar or other small container and every time she makes it to the bathroom on time put something in her jar. When she fills up her jar she gets to do something fun like go to a park or have a special treat or toy that she's wanted. I hope I helped!

There is a wonderful modality that is gentle and has helped many children to overcome this trouble. It is called Bowenwork

Seeing as how you work fulltime, i'm not sure if this will work but i'll say it anyway. I have a sister-in-law who is partial OCD so she is always on top of things. She has four kids and is constantly on them about using the bathroom. Her oldest is going to be 12 who is also a down-syndrome child. So like I said, she is constantly reminding them, sometimes even telling/demanding them to use the restroom. I have a 7 year old myself and I know how easy it is for them to forget or lose attention. Anyway, the best I can suggest is before you go on a car ride, have her use the restroom. As soon as you arrive where your at, use the restroom. Before you leave, use the restroom. Of course you want to make it about every one and half to two hours between bathroom visits so that they don't cause an infection because of constant bathroom usage (not sure if that is possible, but you can never be sure, this is just my opinion). Other than that, good luck with your daughter, I hope everything works out.

Another thing to keep in mind, make sure she is not doing it for attention because that could be the case. It could probably be a seperation anxiety or something of that sort.

Have you tried to put her on a toileting schedule? For instance, having her pee every couple of hours? Also, try offering her a reward for not peeing in her pants every time she goes and her pants are dry...even if it's ONE M&M, she will look forward to that reward and maybe not get so caught up in what she's doing that she'll remember to go potty. Good luck! C.

Hi S.,

My almost 6 year old whom has never ever had a mishap , not even during potty training. Started at 5 having a few accidents. Mostly, it is due to maturity of the brain and focusing ability. She didn't like to "un" focus on what she was doing and was so engaged that she didn't listen to the "peepee" alert and had an accident. I almost fell over.

Anyway, your child probably just needs to be reminded to listen to the signals again. If she has an accident she will have to completely stop what she is doing to be cleaned up. This alone may help her to stop what she is doing. Some kids are young 7 year olds and this probably has more to do with that.
