Question

The child is over five years old and in kindergarten, but still struggles with bedwetting, prompting frequent home visits from the school teacher. Despite constant reminders from parents, the child has been unable to change this habit. Is there a method to train the child to stop bedwetting?

Answer

Bedwetting, common in children over 3 years old, is often related to bladder weakness or the failure to establish a normal urination habit. During the day, encourage the child to drink plenty of water and practice holding their urine for no more than 30 minutes each time, training 1 to 2 times daily. This helps expand the bladder capacity and reduce the frequency of nighttime urination, which may improve the child’s bedwetting issue.
