The psychological reasons for daytime wetting are developmental delays, anxiety and stress.
Daytime wetting is not usually a sign of any intentional misbehavior, although it can be a manifestation of emotional or developmental challenges.
Children that experience significant stress, emotional upset or anxiety can be more prone to daytime wetting accidents, even when they appear outwardly calm.
Some kids also may not be developmentally ready for full bladder control and it can be exacerbated by conditions such as autism or ADHD, in which focus or even sensory processing difficulties might interfere with recognizing and responding to their bladder cues.
Also past trauma or significant life changes, such as moving, family issues or new sibling can also disrupt a child's emotional well being and can also lead to daytime wetting in children.
And children with ADHD or children with autism may also have difficulties with their bladder control as a result of challenges with focus, attention or sensory sensitivities.
There's also a correlation between emotional problems and also daytime wetting and children with emotional difficulties often have increased psychological stress, which can affect the child's bladder control.
Kids rarely wet their pants on purpose and so it's crucial that you avoid making the child feel blamed or ashamed.
Other things that can cause daytime wetting in children are structural abnormalities, bladder problems, urinary tract infections.
And if the daytime wetting continues in the child, you should take the child to their pediatrician or pediatric urologist to identify the underlying cause and develop and appropriate treatment plan for the child.
If the child is constantly wetting their pants you may want to have the child wear some pull ups or diapers to help keep their pants dry if it happens a lot.
