8 year old wetting pants

I have a 8 year old, nearly 9 who continues to wet her pants. I mean every single day, Ive taken her to the dr's who have done ultrasounds and uti checks ect. All have come back clear. Basically she says she is to lazy to go or gets caught up with friends. I have tried everything I can think of please help!!

Re: 8 year old wetting pants

Hi @Sblack15, thank you so much for sharing. It is great that you have taken your daughter for a check up at the GP. Have you thought of taking your daughter to a psychologist? They could further explore what is going on when your daughter is feeling lazy or caught up with friends.

Please keep in mind that our service is aimed at parents of children aged 12-18, so our referrals may not be appropriate for you. However, you are more than welcome to continue to use our forums Heart

Sblack15, I would also recommend you to visit a psychologist or, basicly, talk with your child before visiting specialist. It's not normal situation and something is wrong, but it can have a deeper source than you think.
