Any experience with healthy child wetting in daytime?

Some ideas here http://www.minti.com/questions-and-answers/discussion/1076394/peeing-in-pants-at-school-/#

One idea being that you (and teacher) schedule a loo break every two or three hours so she gets used to actually visiting the toilet cubicle regularly whether she feels the need to go or not herself. (I imagine you'd need to be relaxed about it to stop her getting OCD and not venturing anywhere unless there's a toilet).

It is happening at friends houses

Are the friends parents aware that your daughter has these problems?

Well done reassuring her and telling it's not her fault.

When my son was around the same age we had similar problems, although not as frequently. He would also occasionally soil himself as well. Despite getting it checked out there was nothing medically wrong with him and we came to the conclusion that he just didnt want to interrupt what he was doing to go to the toilet. He is a very bright boy and it was SO embarrassing when we were out in public, never mind about worrying about him being teased at school.

We tried lots of different approaches, things like using star charts to reward him when he was dry etc. We would put spare clothes in his PE bag at school but unless an adult told him to get changed he would happily walk about wet through! Nothing really worked and in the end it just stopped on its own. He is now 10 and has absolutely no bladder or bowel problems whatsoever.

I also have to say that other kids never really seemed to notice the problem and to my knowledge he never got teased at school. Of course you are right to make sure there is nothing medically wrong but you may just have to accept that this is just something that your daughter will grow out of. I know this is probably not something you want to hear and it is very stressful but I think its probably more common than we think.

I also think the fact that she is dry on a night is encouraging, if there was something medically wrong would it not happen at night as well?

I bet the Health Visitor would say to wait until your Feb appointment before she could do anything - but its a long time to wait when you are in this situation. I have every sympathy with you, let us know how things go.
