What could be possible reasons for a four year old to have problems making it to the bathroom?

It very well could be that she's so into whatever she's doing at the moment that she tries to hold it too long and just can't make it. However, my little cousin started having that trouble around age three and would get into trouble for not going straight to the bathroom when she had to go. My aunt later found out that she had severe problems with her kidneys and she WAS going to the bathroom as soon as she felt it. .but she wasn't feeling the urge until it was pretty much coming out. Tell your friend to just pay attention to any complaints her daughter may have about seriously not being able to make it.

The soda could be part of the problem. Four year olds shouldn't be drinking soda at all in my opinion especially Dr. Pepper *caffine and sugar and absolutely NO nutrional value. Soda is carbonated, the carbonation causes gas, gas causes bloating and this causes pressure on a child's small bladder. Seems like at the sitter's she doesn't get the soda. The sitter is taking better care of the child than the mother is obviously...

At daycare they have MANY opportunities to go potty. every time they change stations the aids will ask who has to go. before snack,lunch,nap,after nap and going outside,snack and pick-up Everyone is led to the bathroom///therefore :) no wetting. At home mom just thinks she's trained.Moms are trained first...then the kids lol

On the down side.

Children that are being sexually abused wet the bed.Its a fact.

also children with bladder infections...wet the bed...another fact.

So now you have plenty of information to take to her mom :) She needs to see her pediatrician asap :)
