nearly five and still wetting herself

[Dubbs]

My daughter was potty trained at 2 yrs and was pretty good until she went to school last year. She now consistently wets herself and doesn't appear bothered by it. Today I've had to change her 3 times, for completely losing control and walking around wet. She's dry at night, any idea why this is happening?

It's quite frustrating but she couldn't care a less...

Looking forward to reading any answers you get. Dd is nearly 6 and we have the same. She was fine when she was 2!

First thing would be to check that there's no infection. If not, then they're a bit lazy and are far too busy to do something so boring as going to the toilet. My suggestions would be - make her responsible for cleaning herself and wee on the floor, no telling off as such, just "oh dear, go and get a cloth and dry knickers and sort yourself out" and secondly, a reward chart for each dry day with a treat when you get to a certain amount. You could even split it into half days.

Nothing worked with my dd so I have learnt to accept that it is just part of who she is at the moment. I've bought her some mini panty liners and left them where she can change them herself.
I tried everything. I really think it is something that will resolve itself in time and the less pressure, the better.

I bribed mine with smarties! Sounds like yours may be doing it for attention, though. Is this the only thing that gives her individual attention at school? I agree with madlizzy otherwise.

Thanks all, I think definately lazy but the attention one wouldn't surprise me, she's very clingy at the moment too so maybe craving attention - thanks all
