Wetting Accidents When Upset

Dear parent,

Your daughter’s wetting accidents is not very common, yet not unheard of either. Usually the cause is anxiety and stress. The arrival of a new baby, parents arguments,  a move or an issue with friends can all lead to losing control over the blader. In addition, children will exercise power, consciously or unconsciously when they feel helpless and controlled. 

The causes of your daughter’s anxieties must be discovered and address. Losing control or peeing on purpose show severe rage and a sense of helplessness. It seems she has no other outlet for her emotions. Is there a new baby? Is she getting enough attention? Is she autonomous or perhaps feeling helpless, lonely or fearful?

I suggest you review my book, Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves so you can find ways to eliminate or reduce your child’s anger and anxiety. It is possible that your daughter does not feel free to fully express her emotions by crying, raging or in other behavioral ways and has too much pent up anxiety that must burst out when upset in some way. Imagining your death may signify some complex issues of guilt and hurt in her relationship with you. 

If you need further help and would like to discuss it with my on the phone, I would be happy to assist you in finding the source of this problems and eliminating it so that your child will have no need for this uncomfortable way of expressing herself.

Warmly, http://authenticparent.com/
