So I was cleaning up in y daughter's room this morning. She is 6. Moved a big bag of stuff and weirdly felt my foot was wet - there was a pool of water on the floor but I didn't understand how it could have got there. Bent down and sniffed it, it smelt like wee. I called my daughter upstairs and asked 'what is that', she looked shifty but I got her to say it was wee. Her room is right next to the bathroom, so I asked why she had weed there and not on the toilet. She said she hadn't had an accident but had decided to wee in her room.
For context, she has never had toilet training issues, was quickly out of even night nappies and has never had an accident or wet the bed. Is generally a very compliant child, easy to manage. I remained calm though was angry inside. Told her she cannot do that as it is not like normal water and will smell very bad. Took her ipad away (the only thing she really cares about most days), and made her press a towel on top. I will have to clean the rest to make sure it is gone and she will have to earn her ipad back.
Can anyone tell me WHY she might have done this and whether I should be concerned? I see how it could be pure child curiosity, but concerned it could be some kind of psychological response to lockdown. She has been at home for about 13 weeks now, on her own, no other parents or siblings around and I will admit I have been working full time and she has lacked attention, though I've done my best. I have been more angry than usual - and apologised after the fact when I've directed it at her, but worried this weird behaviour could be something I've caused.
