Question
My child is in kindergarten and has been using diapers since infancy, but only stopped at the age of three. However, he still wets the bed every night, and sometimes even during naptime at kindergarten. What could be the reasons for a 5-year-old’s bedwetting?
Answer
Bedwetting in a 5-year-old may be due to laziness or a strong dependence on diapers caused by long-term use. Firstly, it’s important to build the child’s confidence and use persuasive education methods, reminding them multiple times. Avoid scolding or punishment. Allow the child to have appropriate naps during the day and consume less liquid at night. Gradual adjustments over time should resolve the issue. Encourage the child to use the toilet independently.
