We can't figure it out. Our 4-year-old daughter is suddenly desperate to go potty every 30 minutes or so. She goes maybe a teaspoon each time. Even going to the park today, she asked - what about potties? Could something physical be wrong? Did someone at preschool preach GO POTTY too hard? Has anyone else ever seen this? Help! How should we parent this?

Make an appointment with the doctor (could be a kidney or bladder problem) and keep taking her to the potty and putting her on.

She could have a bladder infection. Or, has she had an accident recently? Maybe she's afraid she'll wait too long and hav ean accident again.

I'd see the doctor and have it checked out. Sounds like she could have a UTI or bladder infection.

i don't want to scare or alarm you but my brother is a doctor and he has told me before [and i've seen articles on this] that a lot of children who have been molested or raped have a tendency to want to go to the restroom a lot more often then before...the reason as to why this is so i'm not sure....this is probably not the case with your child and i don't mean to scare you, but i guess it wouldn't hurt you to ask your child some questions....sorry to mention all of this but this is one possible reason that a lot of times parents pass on by without any notice ....once again don't mean to alarm you....

She probably has a bladder infection.If she does you can only give her lots of water and cranberry juice to drink.It really helps but if it doesnt then I suggest you take her to a doctor.

She could have a bladder infection causing her to feel pressure and then she feels like she needs to potty.
You should take her to a doctor. They can test her urine to see.

could be she has a bladder or kidney infection. call a nurse helpline or the pediatrician. make sure she is drinking plenty of water, too.

Well hopefully it is not the reason above me!!...Are you sure that she just doesn't want you to be proud of her?...or that she just loves seeing bathrooms?...Sounds funny, I know, but my girls had this thing at that same age with bathrooms and saying they had to go, just to be nosy.
