Question
A 3-year-old boy, who has not used diapers since he was over two years old and has learned to use the toilet independently, recently started wetting the bed at night. The parents are confused. Is it normal for a 3-year-old boy to frequently wet the bed at night?
Answer
If a child over five continues to wet the bed, it may be necessary to consider the possibility of enuresis. However, for a 3-year-old, if bedwetting still occurs, it is an abnormal phenomenon that should be gradually trained. It is recommended that parents encourage their children to hold their urine as much as possible during the day and ensure that their urine is fully emptied when they urinate. During the educational process, it is important to avoid scolding or blaming the child, but rather to offer more praise and encouragement to help the child establish correct urinary habits.
