Question
Is it normal for a child of this age to wet the bed?
Answer
A 9-year-old child who frequently wets the bed is experiencing an abnormal situation. In most cases, this may be related to an underdeveloped nervous system. It is recommended to take the child to a hospital’s neurology department for a consultation and relevant examinations. Treatments will be tailored based on the examination results. Avoid giving the child too much water before bedtime and keep them from being overly excited. Set a regular schedule to wake the child up to use the bathroom at night; with some training, this can improve the bed-wetting issue.
