How does the child react to change? Has something happened that may be upsetting him/her ? Sometimes children have a difficult time coping with change and symptoms of this are often bed wetting , wetting pants , anger , sadness or withdrawing from friends or family. This could be a physical problem but more likely this child is experiencing fear or uncertainty of some sort. Children, even when they are older often have difficulty expressing how they feel because they don't know how to identify their feelings and link it to the source of that feeling. If something feels bad they might be able to tell you that they feel bad but they most probably can't tell you why they feel bad ...... they just feel bad and don't know how to cope with that feeling.I think it would be wise for the parents to see their family physician and if they don't get the help they need then maybe someone that specializes in child behavior could help. They have much experience with the way children react to certain things and I'm sure they can help to figure out what anxieties the child may be experiencing. Take care : )
