it means you need to watch her and prevent her from doing it....
she is marking her territory and staking a claim

Have there been any recent changes in her environment: a new baby, a new pet, a move to another home, dad been deployed, mom gone back to work, new babysitter, loved one passed away? If so, this is a cry for more individual attention.
If not, there could be an underlying medical condition developing: urinary tract or bladder infection, reaction to change in diet, onset of an allergy. Because of this, a trip to the pediatrician is definitely in order.
If you can do it without humiliating her, you might insist that she will wear diapers when she's in her room if she continues the behavior. The idea of having her select a rug (maybe a Disney design or some such) might help in altering her behavior, but it's the underlying cause that you really need to find and address. If there's no physical condition involved, then you may want to see a child psychologist. If there's a babysitter in the picture, it could be a sign of child abuse, but that's a bit reaching until you've eliminated other possible causes.

Girl Peeing On The Carpet

Ohmg, I'm having this same exact problem with my 5 year old son and I'm so glad you asked this question because I never thought of asking YA!
Really, it just started this past week and I can't understand it?
I try not to get too upset because I don't want him to develop pee phobias but I do make it a big deal and raise my voice a bit and ask WHY? to him...no response from him just a frightened look.
I think psychologically it might be a way our kids have found to retalliate...maybe they're upset and can't find the words? I'm guessing.
Is your daughter completely secure in the bathroom and /or does she have any potty training issues unresolved? My son doesn't like to poop on his potty seat or the big toilet, instead he prefers to stand up to poop and totally misses where it should land and even out in the hallway!
I need to devote more time to this issue and be more attentive when he needs to go...like checking for signs; putting his hand in his pants, walking in the bathroom, saying potty...poopy, etc. and setting a more timely schedule of potty trips.
I hope this helps...let me know by email please if you resolve the bedroom carpet peeing, ok!thx

She's obviously acting out for some reason. Maybe this gets her more attention, or it's a way to feel in control of her environment? I think that a visit to the doctor is definitely in order, but if you're sure that it's being done on purpose then maybe a counselor would help more?
I'm also thinking that you might want to do something to make her feel that she really doesn't want to pee on that floor. Maybe you could let her pick out a rug for it, something that she really wouldn't want to pee on.
Another alternative would be to say that she can't go in there anymore because it's not a healthy environment and then keep her away until you can get the floor professionally cleaned. Not having access to her stuff might cure her (and she wouldn't be able to get in there to do the deed!). You could even hang BIOHAZARD tape on the door or something.
Good luck!

I'm a new mommy but I have lots of younger siblings and cousins that I've taken care of in the past.
Maybe your 4 year old is seeking attention. And I'm sure you are and have provided her with lots of attention and care. Another reason could be something has happened at preschool that she is reacting in this way. I think at 4 years old most kids understand right from wrong. Find out from dear child or teachers if her behavior has changed or has been upset about a classmate. Good luck. I really hope you find answers. I can only imagine how distressing this can be.

Sounds like a major control issue. Kids do not have control over much but they can control their bodies. Try giving her options elsewhere in her life - let her pick what to wear (weather appropriate of course )even if it doesn't match, let her choose between 2 things for lunch, and what to watch. Not too many choices but enough that she feels in control. And be very consistent with discipline. Don't say you are going to do something and then back down.
If she does have an accident just clean it up and move on. When she goes on the potty praise her and tell her she is such a big girl. Remind her of teh good things of being a good girl like having ice cream and pizza, watching movies with mommy, and picking out your own shoes.

this will only apply if you are married or having a signifact other living with you. you need to look at the relationship with your spouse/other. if there is a tension in the house your child may be reacting to this as a means of showing insecurity. she may need some sort of reassurance that all is well before she stops this action. good luck

It is a way of controlling you when you don't do what she wants. She can pee whenever things are not going her way and she knows it makes you upset.
Try talking to her when you think she might do that to see what she is unhappy or worried about. Also try telling her that she can't have friends over to play if her room smells from pee. As a last resort try telling her she is going to have to go back to diapers if it continues.

Take her to the doc. I had chronic UTIs when I was young and had to wear diapers at night anytime I had one. I'm glad my mom took me to the doc instead of listening to people saying I was sassy. I could have gone into kidney failure.
This COULD be abuse. Let the doc help you figure this out.
Good luck and best wishes.

Could she be doing this in her sleep? Half sleep/ half awake.
Could she think she is in the rest room. I remeber this happening to me once when my family moved to new home. I was half awake and half asleep. I was about five. I went to my sister's corner of her bed and actullay thought I was in the rest room. But it only happened once
It could also signify abuse. Could be sexual or verbal. Take her to the doctor, doctor can determine if she has been sexually abused.
