Step daughter will be 5 in Jan. She is still peeing on herself (ALOT).She will be wet from her waistband to knees on her pants adn doesnt care. She will poop on herself and then lie, again just sits in it. Her mother didnt care until now. Games, dolls, other favorite things have been taken away. She doesn't care. She can't speak properly, can't read, can't write. She will stand there and pee on herself while you are talking to her. She cannot put a sentence together, you cant understand her. She has no thought process. If you ask her if she danced at daycare, she starts saying "and dog camo-momma work-dere's a bug-i'm thirsty, etc". She cannot tell you why she wont go to thepotty. She sometimes ignore you when you are talking to her and will lie that she went on the potty when she didnt. Sometimes, she cannot follow simple instructions. It's sad. I have taught her how to spell her name, ,but she still doesn't realize she has a first name and a last name. I care and am trying to help.

You should contact your physician. Austrism should ruled out. That is pediatric condition related with social and mental development.

My 5 year drinks so much juice and water that her bladder can't hold it all the time. She has about 4 accidents a week but never at school. I keep an outfit and panties in her backpack in case that ever did happen. My daughter is humiliated (I see it in her eyes), she feels bad but tries to act like she doesn't care and laughs it off. DO NOT SPANK HER FOR THIS OR ANYTHING ELSE. You are a "step" mom. Your role is to be a loving friend. Cut back on juice and water. My daughter does not have as many accidents when I'm the one home with her all day because I don't let her mindlessly drink apple juice. Don't give her anything but a sip or 2 of water an hour before bed and make sure she goes to the bathroom before bed. PS- What if I smacked you every time you had an accident or an oops situation in life? Real nice (insert sarcasm). Edited to add: I should redirect my hostility to the mom- it seems. I thought you said YOU spanked her. Whew! Well, the mom needs help.

My 4 yr. old has the same problem as far as the pottying goes. We had her checked out at the doctors, tried rewards, punishment, everything....nothing worked until we just stopped paying attention to it. When she would have an accident, we would just tell her to go change and not give her the attention of "why did you do that?" and all. That has helped a lot!
As far as the other issues though, I would not ignore. I would have her checked at the doctors...tell them your concerns. If she is fine by the doctors standerds then I would take it further. It is obvious that someone is not teaching this child correctly. Good luck!

She needs to be evaluated by a professional. Her father should contact the school district or pediatrician for an evaluation. You are describing many delayments for a 5 year old. Has her hearing been tested? A lot of what you are describing seems to be related to hearing. Best of luck to you.

This child needs to be evaluated by professionals. She has some thing not right with her. If she was just wetting I wouldnt say that but everything you said combined well..... get her tested as this is not normal behavior. Just read your letter again as if it wasnt a child you know what would you say to another Mom about this. You know you would say thats not right.

Oh dear, that poor little girl. Daddy needs to take her to a pediatrician immediately for a complete medical evaluation. I'm guessing a neurological disease. But if her problems aren't medical, then she needs a complete psychological evaluation.

I think there might be a problem with the child. She sounds like she may be mentally challenged. She should be taken to the doctor and evaluated.

Oh my god, this poor baby. Take her to a doctor and have her evaluated. Be the hero in this girls life if her own mother can't do it. I would call child protective services on her too.
