She has apparently thrown her panties away at school when this happens, she says she is having too much fun to stop and go to the bathroom. We have taken things away, tried grounding her, made her clean up her messes, all do not work. Her doctor says she is perfectly healthy, too. We are fresh out of ideas to get things under control, does anyone have any other ideas?

Please don't think of this as a punishment issue. If she was trained previously and now has taken a step back it is up to you do everything in your power to find out what is going on with her physically/emotionally/mentally in order to see how you can help her. She needs to feel that you on are unconditionally on her side and want to find out what is going on.

If her pediatrician has checked her out an physically and not finding anything take her in to someone else for a second opinion. Docs can miss things, labs mess up etc. Make absolutely sure she doesn't possibly have a physical explanation. Then you can move onto determining what is happening with her emotionally or mentally and get her some counseling to see what you can discover.

Although I'm sure you are worried and frustrated--remember this too shall pass. But unlike problems that can be solved with a hug and kiss, this one will take some detective work on your part.

Okay, well, first off I'd say that I'm sure at some level this is embarrassing and she is just brushing it off as nothing so it won't be an issue. Her doctor may say she is healthy, but what exactly has he or she done with respect to this particular problem. Eight year olds losing control is not normal. 5 year olds yes, but by the time they are 8 most are fully controlled. It's also not a discipline problem, this just makes it worse if they are worried or embarrassed. It may be necessary to have her wear children's incontinence underwear, but really, before you resort to that continually, take her back to the doctor and explain the situation completely. If you get the brush off, get a second opinion. This can't be good for your daughter's self esteem. If her friends knew, at that age, there would be some who make fun of her. That's the way kids are, unfortunately.

I would guess that this is most likely a control issue. I really think it sounds like you have tried most ideas. The only thing that comes to mind is whether you have stuck with these consequences long enough. Since she says she is having too much fun to stop and go to the bathroom, I think I would limit her activities, take her to the bathroom on a regular frequent schedule and continue with the other consequences. If you do thins for several months to let her know that you are not giving in and you still have no success, then I would try going to a child/family therapist.

My son started this same thing around 6 years old. My pediatrician said he was fine, but after trying everything I could think of, yelling, punishing, cleaning himself, doing his own laundry, diapers I finally took him to a gastroenterologist. He told me it is a somewhat common problem and until he WANTED to stop doing it he wouldn't, and that usually happened around 9 years old or so. In the meantime he put him on some medication to help keep the movements more regular. But he said the most important thing is for me as the parent to make him sit on the bowl twice a day for up to 30 minutes each time. Now he siots after breakfast and after dinner I bought some new books only for bathroom use and he is forced to sit, usually he will go within the first five minutes. I say it's worth trying. good luck.

Try keeping her in and try a potty training technique. Flood her with liquids and have stay near the bathroom till she goes. This will help her get a really good idea of just how much she can hold before she has an accident. Until she stops, I wouldn't let her participate in anything outside of school (playdates, sports, going outside). I would have her sit in a chair outside the bathroom with a book and explain to her that it is because you can't trust that she will stop to use the bathroom.

I am not recommending this, but just telling you what we did. Our son was about 6 and would not stop playing when he needed to go poop. He would wait until the last minute, and then it was too late.

Since pooping in your pants is what babies do, we made him a "diaper" out of plastic garbage bag and made him wear it for a while - even outside. He did this for maybe a total of an hour. We didn't have anymore trouble.

PLEASE NOTE: We did this after knowing there was nothing physically wrong with him. Also, it might really wound some children who are very sensitive. Please use your own judgement with your child.

If her medical doctor says she's physically sound, get her to talk to someone. It might be an emotional thing. She's really at too old of an age to be "too busy" - as at this age, they really care about what others think.

otherwise, I would get a second opinion. If it's diarrhea like, she'll need to be seen by a gastroenterologist.

This is most likely a phase. Take her for a second opinion (to another doctor).Maybe try some counseling. Most likely if you continue to make her clean it up though, she'll get tired of it and stop "having fun" long enough to take care of her needs.
