Question

My child is four years old. I don’t know what happened these days. He wets the bed every night. And he cries and screams. I don’t know if he was scared or if he had a nightmare and wet the bed. I would like to ask about the issue of bedwetting. Is it normal for a four-year-old to wet the bed?

Answer

If a child does not wet the bed frequently, it is usually considered normal. Considering that the child may have been startled or has some other issues, avoid giving them too much water before bedtime. Calling the child to the bathroom at a fixed time may significantly reduce bedwetting. Don’t give the child too much water before sleep. Always give them a reason. Train your child to urinate during the day, develop good living habits, and observe if it improves after a while.
