Potty help: older kids
Seems I post something similar every 6 months. Dd is back to having accidents again. She had been doing well for a while with just a spell of overnight accidents in the summer. But now we are back to daytime ones. They aren't huge accidents but enough to change underwear/leggings. The past couple weeks I swear it has happened most days.
Is this normal? I never thought we would still be dealing with frequent accidents in 1st grade. I understand the rare accident but it's like she goes through phases of daily ones.
Should I take her to the dr? I ask her about it and she always tells me she doesn't like going potty. But she doesn't ever admit to it hurting. I think she is just stubborn and would rather play than go potty. But I guess there could be something else going on.
If it isn't a medical issue what can I do? We have been dealing with this for 4 years!!! Every year I think that this will be it and after this accident phase we will be good but then a few months later we are back to it. It's so frustrating! I don't want her to feel bad about it but I am legitimately worried about her being made fun of. Kids are cruel and this could absolutely cause teasing issues. Last week she had an accident and her "friend" told a couple boys about it and dd was embarrassed and upset. Thankfully it doesn't sound like they made fun of her but I feel like it's just a matter of time if she keeps this up. But the embarrassment didn't help because she had an accident over the weekend and yesterday at after school.

Re: Potty help: older kids
I'm giving him a little leeway since he just started K, but it SUCKS!
Did often had accidents around transitions so could be starting K for him. I guess it could be starting 1st for dd...but she was fine at the start of the year and now it's started back up.
She went through a bunch of tests and saw specialists, but they said nothing was abnormal. She just had to get in the habit of going frequently.
