KINDERGARTEN : MY CHILD PEE IN HIS PANTIES!
Noah, 3, entered kindergarten. He is very happy and loves school. And you, you are relieved: he became "clean", that is to say that he stopped wearing diapers, just for the return.
But one night, you go find him and you find him dressed like a clown, with pants too big for him. And he hands you a plastic bag with his wet stuff. Noah had a small accident. Oops

Entry into kindergarten is not always easy for children. Some are a little disturbed by the change of pace . At the maternal assistant or nursery, they were often reminded to go to the bathroom. At school, everything is new, the pace is different. It may be that the child wanted to pee and did not dare ask, or too busy playing at recess, that he did not want to interrupt his activity. And suddenly, he could no longer restrain himself.
At school, he pee in his pants!

Above all, do not scold your child. But on the contrary, explain to him that this accident does not call into question the fact that it is clean. And tell him that it can happen to everyone. The accident is always possible, even when the child is clean, because it is emotional . Just any thought in his head, stress or something he has not supported, so his body shows his emotions.
We must especially reassure him about this small accident, and also compared to what we could tell him. Sometimes at school, a person will have made an unpleasant reflection. Then discuss with him, try to understand what happened and help him put words on what he went through.

If the accident is repeated from time to time in the first months of school, do not worry, the process of acquiring cleanliness is coming to an end. However, if the accident is repeated over the longer term, you can take it in consultation with a pediatrician or a child psychiatrist.
We talk to the child to try to understand, this relapse can come from a problem of separation or a conflict between the parents ..., If the child regularly pee in school while it never happens at night, we can assume that there is a problem related to school dynamics. Here too, a consultation can be useful for the pediatrician or child psychiatrist.
And if accidents multiply, day or night, they can be a symptom of a disease , a malformation or a dysfunction. There, a consultation with the doctor is required quickly.
