[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is she peeing at regular intervals so that she’s not dealing with a full bladder? My DD has very low muscle tone and can’t always feel when her bladder is full until she leaks. She just needs to go every 3 hours whether she feels it or not.[/quote]
Same PP above. Another thought. Is it only happening at school? Any chance she’s avoiding the restrooms at school or in public? My DD also has OCD and felt the restrooms at school weren’t clean and didn’t want to use them. We were able to get her to go to the nurse every 3 hours until we got her used to that schedule and then worked on using the regular restroom with a therapist.[/quote]

Thank you for the suggestions! She uses the restrooms at school. She was amused that she pooped three times today — once at school and twice at home. It does seem like she waits a bit too long to pee sometimes (she is a Roblox player), but I think she’s been trying not to do that lately. I’ve been noticing better habits about peeing before she leaves the house (without a reminder). She was a somewhat low tone baby/toddler. She needed PT to learn to roll over (at 7-8 months!), sit up and crawl… but then was on schedule for walking. And the way she would lose control of her pee when she laughed was pretty bad - we had years of that. I would hear her laughing and suggest she go to the bathroom.

I wonder if she could just try to pee every three hours. I learned tonight that she tries to physically pinch her urethra closed through her clothes when this happens. Not a good look for a 4th grader. It could be discharge - I can’t really tell. I should be able to tell…[/quote]
