That's fine by me, but definitely not my preferred method. I'm more
inclined to work with my child to get to the bottom of an issue and
therefore ask pertinent questions for either case - medical or
behavioral. A 6-year-old is fully capable of answering some pointed
questions honestly if not lead into a certain direction -- if she
doesn't feel she can help it or change the problem, then medical
evaluation should be pursued. I will avoid submitting my child for
some painful, humiliating, invasive tests if at all possible. So, no,
you don't have to automatically run to the doctor in every
cir***stance. I can't imagine running my daughter into the office for
unnecessary tests when I know full well what she is doing is
behavioral.
Getting a urine sample is about the most invasive test there is. It is one
that is routinely done at well checks. I would have no qualms getting one
to
rule out a urinary tract infection, especially where the child's kidney
function may be at stake.
