Question
A 14-month-old child is unwilling to urinate at night, cries every time they need to go, and insists on watching TV or playing before sleeping. Sometimes, they will play for two or three hours before agreeing to sleep, which is quite exhausting for grandparents. What should we do?
Answer
A child who keeps playing at night might be due to lack of activity during the day or being overly excited before bedtime. It is recommended to adjust the child’s schedule to ensure they have enough activity and naptime during the day, and avoid excessive stimulation at night. You can try training the child to control their bladder, and reduce fluid intake before bedtime. Additionally, establishing a fixed bedtime routine can also help the child relax and fall asleep.
