Question
An 8-year-old boy still experiences bedwetting, and his parents are puzzled whether this situation is normal. Although they have tried to reduce the child’s water intake before bedtime, the problem persists.
Answer
Bedwetting in 8-year-old children is not normal, as generally, children over three years old should be able to control nighttime urination to avoid bedwetting. It is recommended that parents examine whether the child’s daily life is too tired, which may cause difficulty in waking up at night to urinate. Additionally, it is advisable to reduce water intake before bedtime and avoid eating too many fruits with high water content. Parents can also set an alarm clock at night to remind the child to urinate regularly, cultivating good urinary habits.
