Since Kindergarten began my six year old has developed a
"nervous bladder". Physically he's fine.....we had his blood
and urine tested and the doctors say eventually it will go
away and that it's not that uncommon. So far it hasn't
interferred too much with playdates although he's running in
to pee every 15-20 minutes. The good news is that he sleeps
right through the night...10 hours...without having to go.
We're not making a deal of it however I'd like to know if others
have gone through this and what we can do to encourage or help
him. Thanks
our daughter has the same problem. seems to be an issue when she
is anxious. our doctor advised us to let it run its course and it
seems, once she is back in a "comfortable place", it goes away.
good luck.
