Wetting?

Hi E.

being a counselor(mft) and psychic for children for many years, i have seen one thing that i wanted you to know just in case. kids who have been touched inappropriately by other children or molested by adults often have sensation, urinary issues, odd stories, etc. they often forget it happened but their subconscious is trying to get some care for their bodies and emotions that are still traumatized or at least confused. so, you may want to have her have a check up, or check yourself to see if she has any reddening around her vaginal opening. and also to talk to her about how special that part of us is and see if she offers anything that may have happened to her there.

Could she be having a strange physical sensation that she is mistaking for an accident? Could she just be scared of the embarrassment of potentially having an accident? Did she have one recently, or did someone at school have one?

If she has some physical problem, I don't know what it could be...but if you think she just has anxiety, maybe you can give her panty liner to make her feel better. It would be harmless, even if it is not really needed.

I think the other two moms are right. Try panty liners, so she doesn't have to use toilet paper. Don't bother telling her her panties aren't wet, just let her use the liners. It's probably nothing, and she'll get over it.

The one thing that came to my mind is something I actually remember from my childhood... I found my mom's stash of maxi pads and at the age of 5ish the first thought that came to my mind was that they looked like diapers, that they were "big girl diapers" so you can still wear panties but be OK if you have an accident. Don't know if this is at all what your daughter is thinking, but it is a true story from my childhood. If so just explain to her that the pads are not for wet accidents but for when she is older for something else that happens to women (be as age appropiate for your daughter as you think she needs).
Thats my story...
