Question
My daughter is 7 years old, and yesterday when I washed the bedding, I found out that she had wet the bed again. She didn’t tell me about it. I think a child of this age shouldn’t be wetting the bed. I want to know, is it normal for a 7-year-old child to wet the bed? Does my child have a problem? Is she healthy?
Answer
A child still wetting the bed at this age may be a problem caused by functional disorders, which are related to developmental abnormalities in children. It could be a neurological regulation issue. It is recommended to strengthen the child’s awareness of using the toilet and gradually cultivate good habits. At the same time, attention should be paid to the rationality of diet, avoiding excessive drinking before bedtime, and ensuring adequate rest. Regular checks should also be made.
