Dr Cathrine Answered:

This must be very distressing for both you and your daughter. I would imagine that your daughter is also having to deal with negative comments directed from her peers, which would only make her feel more desperate about the situation. There are a number of reasons why older children wet during the day, many have an underlying medical cause so it is essential that you make an appointment with your doctor and have this investigated further. If no physical cause is apparent then you need to ask to be referred to a clinical child psychologist who will be able to discuss different behavioural therapies to help her to manage her daytime toileting difficulties.
