Question
My child frequently wets their pants recently. What could be the possible causes and how should I handle it?
Answer
Firstly, understanding why your child is wetting their pants is the first step in solving the problem. Possible reasons include not having enough time to use the bathroom after class, or the child forgetting to go to the bathroom because they are playing. Additionally, the child may be too shy or afraid to tell the teacher they need to use the bathroom. Understanding the situation clearly is very important. General strategies include communication between parents and teachers to understand the child’s personality and habits. Establish a habit of not delaying, encourage children to express their need to use the bathroom when they have it, and arrange regular bathroom breaks during school hours. There is no need to worry too much; this is a normal situation that children often encounter when they first start school.
