2 and a half years old bedwetting

In fact, there are many children around 2 years old who wet the bed, but many parents think that it is because their children have not grown up yet and ignore it. This will make the situation more serious. Therefore, the best way is to correct it when it appears in the early stage. Teach your children not to wet the bed and don't let them go to bed late.

Correcting Habits

First of all, we need to help children understand that enuresis is a temporary functional disorder and that it can be cured by eliminating the mental burden and cooperating with treatment.

1. To prevent your child from being difficult to wake up after falling asleep at night, you should be careful not to be overly tired during the day. It is best to arrange an hour of sleep at noon.

2. Put less salt in dinner, drink less water and soup.

3. Stop your child from being overly excited before going to bed, and encourage your child to develop the habit of emptying his or her bladder before going to bed.

4. Parents should cultivate their children's habit of getting up to urinate consciously. Remind your child to say to himself before going to bed, "I will get up at x o'clock tonight to urinate." Parents can also wake him up before the time when the child often urinates, so that he can urinate while awake.

5. Training your child to hold urine during the day can also be used as a method. Whenever you feel the urge to urinate, you can actively control yourself and not urinate for a few minutes at the beginning and gradually extend the time.

During the treatment process, frequent encouragement of children can strengthen their confidence and achieve twice the result with half the effort. Give praise and encouragement to children who do not wet the bed on a certain day. This will increase their enthusiasm for participating in treatment. in addition. Parents should never blame or punish their children.
