[quote=Anonymous][quote]Please don't respond unless you first know what you're talking about. I realize you were probably trying to be helpful, but it can actually be dangerous to withhold urinating for long periods of time. A very full bladder which isn't released can cause damage to the tiny blood vessels in the kidney because the urine ends up backing up into the kidneys which causes extra pressure. There can also be infections. My pediatrician said that he also attended rounds at the hospital where there was a child there who needed a kidney transplant as a result of the urine always being withheld for too long before being eliminated, it being backed up in the kidneys, and repeat infections.[/quote]

OK, calm down.  The PP is right -- some kids are fine holding it a long time.  My son can go from 7:30pm at night until noon the next day.  It doesn't bother him, he doesn't have any medical issues.  He just has a super bladder.  My sister is the same way.  When we were kids on a car trip, everyone would be bursting to go by the time we arrived at grandma's house, and she was always fine being last in the bathroom because she honestly didn't have to go like the rest of us.  Please don't make something out of nothing.  If a kid is holding pee out of fear or some other psychological issue, it should be addressed.  Otherwise, let it go.[/quote]
