Advice On Five Year Olds Bed Wetting

By: Ingrid Preube

Left unresolved, the problems of five year old children bed wetting can lead to such problems as low self esteem and the fear of otherwise normal childhood activities such as sleep overs or any other social situation where the child will sleep away from their own bed, such as school camps. Unfortunately, bed wetting is not an easy problem to solve, and requires a great deal of patience and time from both the child and the parent to avoid a long lasting problem.

Normal development and general good health should be assured by a doctor before trying to tackle the problem of bed wetting. Most bed wetting is a perfectly normal part of growing up, but there can sometimes be underlying medical causes or developmental issues that should be ruled out first and only a doctor can do this.

The goal of any bed wetting strategy is to get the five year old child to wake up and go to the bathroom on their own. One way to get started with this is to use a bed wetting alarm. This alarm will wake the child from a deep sleep cycle, one that they might normally not wake from to use the bathroom. Over time this continued training and getting used to waking during the night to use the bathroom should enable the child to wake up on their own to use the bathroom at night.

You should also be aware that the bed wetting problem has little to do with your own parenting skills.

It is important that the children don;t go to bed with a full bladder, so excessive beverage consumption before bed tie should be avoided.

Diuretic drinks such as colas should also be avoided by children experiencing bed wetting problems.

Obviously bed wetting is a very emotional issue for the children as well as the parents. The child will most likely be ashamed of their bed wetting episodes and care must be taken by the parents to show kindness patience and love. Any signs of anger or impatience at this stage will further embarrass and stress the child and will be of no help with resolving the underlying problem. Encouraging the building of their self esteem and positive reenforcement will both help the child break this habit more quickly.

Medicating the child or changing their diet to help with bed wetting should not be done without direct approval of the child's doctor. Doing either of these things can increase the child's stress level and might have an adhere affect on the child's bed wetting problem.
