don't fret!, thats #1. your reaction is as important to her as any treat your giving. have you checked to see if she has had other new stressors in her life? is she more emotional, clingy, aggressive? has there been a big or maybe even a small change in her life that could have impacted her? My pediatrician has always told me that your child can control only one thing, and that is their bladder and bowel function. My 7yr old son still has accidents, and i had to finally seek therapy with him to no avail. i have noticed that when i don't make a big deal out of it and start treating him as a little person and not a little child, that it seems that he wants to please me more by not having accidents. we still have our days. but children are just funny that way! i don't know about you, but for me just knowing that i was not alone seeing all these emails about basically the same scenerio has made me feel alot better. just try and keep your cool. kids are so clever. you just never know what they are picking up on! take care, and i hope that this helped you in some way.
