What are some tips to help a child stop their bed wetting?

Answer 1

First of all, DO NOT yell at the child or criticize it in any way. Take the child to a doctor, first, because you need to rule out disease as a cause. While you are there, ask the doctor about the condition.

Meanwhile, you probably want to put a plastic sheet under the child's regular sheet, and be prepared to wash clothes and linen a lot until the situation resolves itself.

* Don't try to stop this child. He or she will outgrow this stage and will stop alone. The child doesn't like it any better than you do.

Bed-wetting is hereditary. We get it from our parents. Give this child all the love and support you can possibly give; this child is just as special as every other little child.

* I don't think you can -- in time the child will stop by himself or herself The important thing, probably, is not to make the child feel pressurized. Don't be angry. Shouting and hitting definitely does not work (speaking from experience). Probably the best thing you can do at the moment (if the child is not too young) is make him or her take off the wet sheets and wash them, and make his or her own bed, etc. Stay patient, as hard as it sometimes is. But getting angry may only make matters worse.

* definitely don't make the girl feel like she is a pig and don't tell her i should have left you this or that just tell her sweetie if ya pee in the bed please don't be scared to come and tell me.. but tell her if she does not tell you, u might get a little angry really i am a 12 year old and i still pee in the bed because my dad get really cross with me hits me but later he apologizes but me and him looked up y kids piss in the bed and he stopped doing everything of that to me and gosh i don't pee anymore but really don't humiliate the kid. ALWAYS REMEMBER: he/she isn't doing it on purpose and is probably really embarrassed about it. Reassure him/her that lots of kids wet the bed and its okay to and doesn't make him/her any less important than anyone else. We all have faults, they're just all different. My boy wet the bed until he was 13 and his friends found out and teased him rotten so keep it a secret if you have any idea what teeneage boys are like. but my little girl wet the bed until she was eight and her bff was very supportive and never teased her once. if its a very young child, say around 7 and younger tell them that you got a letter from santa telling you that if they stopped wetting the bed they would get a SPECIAL SURPRISE at Christmas (providing that you celebrate Christmas and if you don't PLEASE don't be offended it was just a suggestion) Gentle encouragement ALWAYS works better than force.

Another great suggestion is to try a bed-wetting alarm. They're an incredible investment and can recondition the child to stop this issue. It basically trains them to "feel" the urge to urinate, and then get up and go use the restroom and it works! another thing that may help is dnt let them drink too much water before bed .Below is a link to a Google document of a bed-wetting alarm comparision chart. Just copy the link and open past it in a new tab. Hope it helps! It did for me.

Answer 2

It could be a number of things. Nerves for one can cause it. Has the child been upset about anything or has there been a change at home,maybe a new baby or parents fighting or a absent parent? Sometimes preschool children don't want to stop playing or watching a favorite program and will hold going to the bathroom until they soil their undergarments.

Answer 3

There are several tips you can try to help your child stop wetting their bed. Not drinking fluids from the early evening until night may be one way to help. Another is to be sure to have your child empty their bladder before going to bed. Another is to purchase a special pad for the bed that will sound an alarm when moisture hits the pad.

Many children who are your daughter's age often still have developmental reasons for delays in using the bathroom. This usually resolves itself over time, especially with kids being in school. Kids her age can also become so involved with activities or playing that they 'forget'. They try to hold it longer, or put off going to the bathroom until it is too late. You could try using a reminder schedule, similar to when parents do toilet training. One type of schedule is to simply interrupt her playing every 3 to 4 hours (or sooner) for a bathroom break. Another type is to link drinking fluids with using the bathroom. For example, when she runs in from playing to get a drink of water, tell her to go use the bathroom first while you get the drink ready for her.

Of course, most kids eventually learn that their wet undies and clothing is uncomfortable--and embarrassing, too. When she happens to be in that situation again, use the incident to gently instruct (not scolding or shaming). Like saying calmly, "Wet underwear feels cold and yucky. It can leak through your clothes and it smells. It's SO much nicer to wear dry underwear." Don't worry, eventually, she'll get it. I recall with my daughter commenting, "It will be so nice when you don't have to help Mommy push wet clothes to the laundromat." Within a couple weeks, she was staying dry day and night, except when engrossed in watching a kid-movie on TV.

Wearing diapers or potty train or tell them "STOP PEEING IN YO PANTS IT'S DISGUSTING AND U ARE EMBARRASSING ME!"
