[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 78541, member: 1498"] Kids lie to cover up that there are things in their lives they can't control. It's denial. No one wants to think they can't control what everyone else apparently can control so they say they choose not to control it (or choose to do the behavior in question). Not wanting to deal with the sheets, not wanting the plastic sheets, not wanting to clean up, not wanting to wear Depends could all be part of the denial process. If she doesn't deal with it, it doesn't happen. That's how denial works. If she had wetting problems prior to taking the medication but outgrew it (or overcame it) it isn't a surprise it would come back when a drug is given that can cause the problem. Clearly that's a weak area for her. That it may have taken a few months on the medications for a side effect to occur is not unusual. As for the earlier peeing -- peeing can be a reaction to stress. It can, in fact, be partial seizure activity over which the person has no control. It may or may not be the case for her, but I simply don't believe young children deliberately pee themselves unless they are psychotic. (Those children who don't stop what they are doing to go to the bathroom are not deliberately peeing or pooping themselves, they just don't stop what they are doing to go to the bathroom when they have to go. There is a difference.) [/QUOTE]
