Child mental health

Hi my 3 and a half year old daughter has occasions of anxiety at preschool which causes her to wee if she's scared of new situations or even if something has frightened her that she hasn't felt comfortable with.

Any ideas as to how to stop her from weeing. It's not a massive amount but nevertheless it needs to stop.

She's still very small, I'm sure many other little ones that age do the same. When she's more comfortable and confident there, I am sure it will stop. Several spare sets of bottoms in her bag, don't make a fuss about it.

Is her nursery worker reminding her to go to the toilet?
Had she been checked for UTI
Is she drinking enough.
These are all things worth checking.
What do nursery suggest
Hope it gets sorted quick Op

She's been going to preschool for a year now, I do agree though that there are others who also wee still who are due to be at school Sept. I usually put 6/7 sets of bottoms, pants, socks, vests & tops in.

I think she does get reminded to go to the toilet but I don't know how often and if they are consistent. I also don't know how big the drinks are that she gets during the day.

She's been checked for water infections before but they were both negative at the time. Xx
