Hi, I am new here and was told about this site at my partners daughters assessment yesterday. I was wondering if anyone here has had or is still having a problem with their child/children urinating on clothes or floor, she is 14 and has been doing this for the last few months, and always has the same answer that she forgot to go to the toilet. Me and my partner really have no clue how to solve what she has started to do, and any help or advice would be appreciated.
If the cause is she isn't getting the body cue to pee or is getting so engrossed with something else she doesn't realise, that can be a genuine problem for her.
You could try asking her to set an alarm on her phone every couple of hours to prompt her to go.
Or may be get a potty in case she is caught short. I don't mean a baby's one. That would just belittle her. But how about one of those old victorian china ones everyone used to have when loos were outdoors. It would just look like she had a pretty antique in her room.
And then there is always tener lady pads for when she's finding that really difficult.
Is it happening in the night? I wonder, maybe her pee trigger isn't waking her up in time. In which case sleeping with a pad just in case might be an idea.
