Advice for Moms
Hi
I dont really know how to approach this situation I have a 12 year old daughter who recently had a really emabarrasing situation happen to her. She was on a camp (not a school camp) and as kids do they had been drinking lots of soda and fizzy drink, she went to the loo before bed then went to sleep. She woke up in the middle of the night busting to go but she was to scared to go out to the toilets as they where quite away over down a bush track, she held on for a bit and tried to go back to sleep, then looked at her watch and it was only 3am and she was desperate so she woke up her friend and asked her to go with her and they got there torch and went she got to the toilets and they where all locked, she said to her friend its ok and they went back to their room. about half an hour later she couldnt hold on anymore and wet her pants and bed she then had to lie in it till the morning, she got changed into clean clothes but her materess was wet and a couple of other kids noticed, she has been being teased and it is all over facebook that she p*ssed her bed etc with pictures of the wet matress. She is so upset
Any advice on how to deal with it with her
and also i am not impressed the toilets where locked!!
Thanks

Sympathize.
Let her know you can imagine this must be horribly embarrassing. And if you have some stories to share with her about being REALLY embarrassed yourself (maybe you've never told anyone before ?) it could help. Especially if you can point out that things go back to normal in time.
Let her know she is heard and respected and not alone in the world where we all have embarrassments here and there...

I agree. Just sympathize and be there for her.
Social media does make it difficult but just be supportive of her.
