I am having a major issue. My 5 yr old daughter has start peeing on herself she is potty trained.?

this started about 2 wks ago. For some reason she is now afraid of public restrooms and even her school bathrooms. never had this problem before even when i started potty training her. It actually was pretty easy. The only thing at that time that bother her was the sound of the automatic toilet flushing. But she still went with no problem.Now she acts hysterical when we are out or when i pick her up from after-school and want her to use the bathroom because I used public transportation to get around cuz don;'t have car right now. Now she just lies and says that she doesn't need to use it. then she holds it until no more. then she starts getting scared and starts crying cuz she can;t hold it and when i try to take to a bathroom (not at home) she fights me and screams and the just pees on herself. I really need help. SHe saids that she is afraid of the fire alarms in the bathroom. Her teacher said that she uses the bathroom in her kindergarten classroom But in after-school she is scraed to. She only says that it the fire alarms. but i find it strange that in her classroom it'[s ok it has a alarm in there to. she evens does that when i tried a public restroom. she doesn';t want to even go to ChuckECheese anymore cuz she doesn't want to her to use the bathroom if she needs to go. please help meI am having a major issue.

Ok..it's the fire alarms? Ask her what it is about the fire alarms that are scaring her? Is it the sound? The shape. It may take several weeks of finding out exactly what it is about the fire alarms that is frightening her. Once you find out, then you need to work with the teacher to make her less afraid, since obviously the problem is not at home.



It could be a matter of perspective. When my younger sister was 3, she suddenly became terrified of the bathroom. She wouldn't go in unless someone was there. It took several weeks to find out that she was scared of the 'black eyes.' It took a long time to realize that she apparently must have seen the gleam of the cat's eyes (they have a weird look when there is just a hint of light shining on them). I was able to recreate it and she saw that it was just one of our kitties and everything was fine after that.I am having a major issue.

Someone may have "violated her" for such an extreme change in bathroom behavior I would look deep into that, especially at that age. A few year back at a school my friend was employed at (aftercare program) there were to little boys who got caught "playing" with each other in a way that is NOT normal in the bathroom. Im not saying she has been molested, but for a 5 year old to pee herself at be afraid of certain bathrooms that throws up a HUGE red flag. She could just say its a fire alarm if she is being bullied by someone. I myself was terrified of the fire alarm in the school bathroom, but i never wet myself, even at the age of 5, i just ran and went as fast as i could! I would talk to her ped about it, it could be a number of things. Good Luck and God Bless
