Question
My eight-year-old son still wets the bed, and he’s in second grade. We’ve taken him to see a doctor, but the situation persists. How should we handle the issue of bedwetting in an 8-year-old boy?
Answer
Boys tend to sleep more deeply. Fatigue during the day may make it harder for them to wake up. To improve the bedwetting problem, you can try reducing the amount of food intake after dinner, encourage him to use the bathroom before bedtime, and set reminders to help him establish a habit of spontaneous urination.
