I would advise the mom to have her sugar levels checked. Frequent urination is a sign diabetes along with being thirsty, sweet smelling breath and strong odour to the urine. Extreme lethargy is also a sign but that usually occurs closer to the time of diagnosis because its the lethargy that usually causes parents to take the child to the doctors. It can be very serious if sugars get too high, I would ask that she be tested asap.

In the beginning I thought it might be nerves because she was in a new environment...I talked to her mom and she agreed that it was likely that. She did say she had been checked out by a doctor previoulsy because she was starting to have this problem at her old daycare before she left. The doctor said she is fine. Now, after almost a month, she is actually getting worse. Today she went 3-4 times per hour! I thought maybe it could be attention-getting behaviour, so I took all attention out of it by making sure she is able to pee and wash her hands all by herself...she now does that really well, but it isn't helping. I have also tried distracting her..."hey you just went 10 minutes ago, let's go read a book", but it mostly doesn't work and she is clutching herself like she really has to go. I'm not sure if she is just peeing little bits each time and then has to go again (like a dog peeing on bushes), or what?? Any ideas? Advice?
