Why do kids and some adults hold their crotches with their hands when they have to pee?

Answer 1

It actually provides extra support to the pelvic floor muscles which support the bladder, thus temporarily relieving pressure on the bladder and reducing the urge to go. Crossing one's legs has the same effect, as does "doing the dance," for lack of a better term. Kids do it more often both because their bladders aren't able to withstand as much pressure, and because they don't have as well-ingrained a sense of socially acceptable public behaviors. Of course, the maneuver doesn't work forever, as anyone who has had to take care of children with small bladders can probably attest...
