7yr old wets pants

[AC1]

I have a 7yr old girl who has continuly wet her pants for the past three years.  She was just recently diagonsed with ADD and put on Ritalin, it seems to have helped at scholl, but she continues to wet her pants, and sometimes does not even change her clothes (she has an extra change of clothes she takes everywhere).  She is now resorting to lying and covering up the incidents for me, she does not care if any of friends notice, she only gets mad because she has to stop playing to go to the bathroom and change.  She has never wet the bed at night, and if there is an incentive that is important enough to her, she can go weeks without an incident.  She is very active, hyper, has a positive home life, and is loved by all.  I have tried just about anything under the sun to help/find out the bottom of the problem to no avail and am now at the point where I am thinking of sending her away to her grandmothers for the summer (where she seems to have few to none accidents.
Thank you

I also have a 7 year old daughter that has accidents during the day. i thought she had bladder problems, but test results showed up fine.  I got divorced 3 yrs. ago and that is when the problem seemed to start. I am engaged and have a new baby. I think with all the changes, that they were too much for her. Now I am having the problem with her attitude and being very disrespectful. I wish you luck. I hope too find some help from this web.

Daytime enuresis, when a child is dry at night, can indicate stress in the child's life, but it can also result from inattentiveness and lack of inclination to interrupt whatever is going on. The most successful approach generally is an incentive system, and apparently your daughter has responded well to such a technique in the past. Sending her away does not sound like a good idea, unless you are so frustrated/angry that your interactions with your daughter have become a problem and the two of you need a break from each other.
