There could be several reasons for this. First you need to take her to the doctor to make sure there is nothing wrong with her bladder. Sometimes kids grow faster than their bladders, so they just can't hold it. Or there could be something wrong with her nerves that are supposed to send her brain the message that it's time to go potty. If the doctor does the tests and there is nothing wrong, then you need to look at the psychological possibilities. Who is home with her during the day? Are they trustworthy? Is she getting enough positive attention and play time with you and her dad? Have there been any changes in her life lately like a divorce, new baby, moving to a new house, change in preschool or daycare, death of a family member or friend, etc.? Sometimes these events can be traumatic for little ones, causing them to revert.
So first get her a physical evaluation, then a psychological one. Don't get mad at her when she wets. Just have her help you clean it up. Then if it takes you five minutes to clean it up, she must help you with one of your chores for five minutes. Also, spend more time playing with her.
Try making a star chart for her and giving her a star sticker every time she goes potty correctly. Do not punish her or take a star away when she wets. When she reaches a set number of stars, reward her with a predetermined prize. (Like going out to ice cream with you.)
Good Luck!

I'm not sure from your question if this happens during the day to, but when my daughter was younger she lacked a hormone and was prescribed D.D.A.V.P. It comes in pill and nasal spray. It stopped the bed wetting. She was on it until she started producing the hormone. Which she would probably kill me for telling you that she was 14 years old. I was scared of the bathroom for awhile as a child because some mean neighbor kid told me that monsters lived in the toilet and would grab me if I sat on it. Then a cartoon on t.v. had the same idea to it. I wonder if she pitched the idea to the station.Take your daughter to the doctor. And I really do hate to say this part but you may want to inquire if she may have sexually abused. The doctor would know how to go about it. Some victims react in this manner.

My son also does this, make sure she is going often, reminder her through the day. If she holds it and waits this will cause accidents. I have started cutting out all calcium after 6pm with my son and the bed wetting has ceased as well.
Good luck!
