Important Aspects Of 4 Year Old Bed WettingKids
By OSAblogger on Oct 24, 2009 in Keeping Our Children Safe
If you have a 4 year old that is bed wetting, there are several things that you need to keep in mind. First, boys are more likely to continue wetting the bed until the age of five than girls. At age 4, girls have typically broken the habit of wetting the bed. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for some girls to continue to trend until they are five. Because of this, you need to be careful about determining what sorts of actions you will take against bed wetting.
The first step in handling a 4 year old girl that is wetting the bed is to take her to a doctor. A doctor is the only individual who can determine if the bed wetting is due to sleep cycles, underdeveloped bladder muscles, or from another illness that cannot be treated through standard bed wetting treatment methods. Once your doctor has confirmed what the problem is, it is possible to begin treatments for your child.
However, it is not until the age of 5 years old that the majority of children will be diagnosed with primary nocturnal enuresis. Your doctor will be able to confirm if that is likely what it is, and make suggestions on things that can help you lower the amount of frustration and work you have to do on account of bed wetting accidents.
The most important thing to remember when you have a 4 Year Old Bed Wetting is that you must keep your anger, irritation and frustration to yourself. At this age, your child is well aware of the embarrassment and shame associated with bed wetting. They do not like the problem any more than you do. By showing anger and frustration, you make the situation worse. A nervous and stressed child is a child that will bed wet more frequently.
There are many tools that you can use to help a 4 year old that is bed wetting. First, you can purchase a bed wetting alarm that helps to break the sleep cycles typically responsible for this problem. By waking both child and parent, the bed wetting can be dealt with so your child can sleep comfortably without risk of infection. In addition to this, your child will develop the habit of getting up and using the bathroom in the middle of the night.
There are also diapers and plastic sheets available for parents who want to limit the amount of cleanup that needs to be done each night due to bed wetting.
