Hi H.,
This could be for attention, that's always an option with any child, 2 to 20 years old! It could also have to do with something at school since her attitude towards it has changed.
The other option is that she gets to the potty and the urgency is gone. This would be a nutritional issue instead of a behavioral issue. As a child, I remember the urgencies and then the lack of being able to go. If it's not behavioral, and it is nutritional, then adding fiber at each meal will help. (EVERYONE should "go" about an hour after EACH meal!) Doctors and traditional medical nutritionists don't teach the benefits of fiber in youngsters and that's where it's the most important. The lack of fiber in a child's diet can cause numerous problems from allergies to cancers. I say this because I was child that had fiber withheld from me and I have paid dearly for it. Fruits, not juices, and whole grains, not bleached and processed, are extremely necessary.
If it turns out to be a nutritional issue, let me know and I can give you some more information.
God bless!
