4 year old peeing on floor

My daughter has gone through this once before and that is when we got out puppy about a year ago. She is now going through it again. She has done it twice in tihe last week. I have made her clean it up, but she doesn't seem to care. I think she is doing it cause if her brother takes his dipaer off (he is 13 months) he will pee on the floor and I think she is thinking well if he can do it then I can. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this?

This is something that needs a firm voice telling her this is not ok. I think things like this are mostly about attention and when my son acts out in ways that are totally inappropriate for his age I find sitting down with him, with no distractions and just talking to him really helps. Some days he just really feels left out or unheard for no apparent reason, but that time asking him whats going on or what he needs, etc does help. But clearly setting those boundaries of whats not ok and what is ok is the biggest thing.
