Question
My child is now four years old, and he knows when to urinate during the day, but at night, he still wets the bed. He is still wearing diapers at four years old, and I am quite worried. I am afraid it will affect his future development. What should I do if he continues to wet the bed? How can I deal with a four-year-old who still wets the bed?
Answer
It is normal for a four-year-old to still wet the bed, as children at this age have not yet fully developed their nervous system and some systems are not yet mature enough to control urination effectively. Moreover, since the child knows when to urinate during the day, it generally can be ruled out that there are any medical issues. It is recommended to gradually train the child to extend the intervals between urination during the day. Before going to sleep at night, avoid letting the child get too excited and do not have too much water before bedtime. It is also better to have a urination before sleeping.
