[quote=Anonymous]I have browsed for other posts on topics similar to this.  My daughter turned 8 in Dec and still has "accidents" sometimes.  When I say accidents, its her waiting till the last second to go to the bathroom and dribbling then running to the bathroom.  Not full blown accidents but just enough to make her pants damp.

I have set alarms to go off every 30 minutes to an hour.  I prompt her to try which typically I get "I don't have to" but I make her try anyways.  Time outs.  Taking away electronics.  Rewarding her for staying dry all day.  Numerous dr. visits and all have resulted with her having a clean bill of health.  No UTI's or anything.  You name it I tried it.

She never has this problem at school that I am aware of.  She has lots of friends and isn't being bullied.  She loves school.  We have been out of school for 2 weeks because of the snow and ice and she cant wait to go back (I cant either!!!) haha.

I just don't know what else to do.  She does have the occasional night time accident but that only happens like 1-2 times every 2 weeks or so.  Has anyone dealt with this from the older child?  I feel at 8 she should be way past this by now.[/quote]
