CALL ME IN THERE TO SAY SHE WET THE BED, I ASK HER WHY SHE DOES IT AND SHE SAYS SHE DOESNT KNOW SHE IS SMART AND KNOWS BETTER WHAT DO U THINK IT IS HELP
Answer:
With a four year old, you don't ask them if they've gotta go, you tell them you're taking them. Sometimes they get scared of saying yes, so they state no, even though they want to state yes. You can relieve their tension just be telling her “Honey, let's go use the potty for just a minute, then I'll tuck you back into bed”. Then take her into the water closet and put her on her potty. She might even try to fight you on it, but you’re her parent, and know what's good for her. And what's good for her is to develop good habits. If you do this each night, she'll start to relax and realize that it's a good thing to do before bedtime. Routine is how kids learn. If you don't repeat good habits, they won't learn them. And children don't like waking up wet any more than we like changing all the bedding. She doesn't know why she's wet the bed because she can't understand it herself. That's where you come in. When you calmly explain to her how things are going to be from now on, eventually things will work out and become a normal part of her life. I agree…she's a smart little girl. And although she can't tell you why she wet the bed, she does know it's wrong and I'm sure she wants to stop. So just do that each night, from now on. Allow it to become a natural part of her bedtime routine, just like putting on her pj's, brushing her teeth, and getting tucked in. And enjoy these years…they fly by so very fast. <*)))><
Answer:
MAKE her go to the restroom before she gets into bed. When you brush her teeth, do it right before she is getting into bed and say do you want to go potty before or after i brush your teeth. this way you are giving her a choice but she will have to go either way.
She may not have to go when you ask her. Being smart has nothing to do with bed wetting. If you mean she goes while she’s sleeping, that’s something they have to outgrow. some kids dont have the capability to hold it all night at that age, some kids wet the bed until much older. Its not her fault and she isnt doing it on purpose, her bladder just isnt ready to go all night. If she’s wetting the bed most nights or more than not you should use a pull up until she goes 2 weeks without wetting the bed. IMO, you should make her go before bed, but if she still wets the bed dont make it a “thing” just change her and dont make her feel badly about it. It will only stress her out and it could last longer than if you just went with the flow.
Also, you shouldnt wake her to go to the loo during the night. By doing this it will tell her body it is ok to go at this time. You want her body to adjust and be able to hold it all night…when it is ready.
Answer:
my mother works at a pre-school and if i learned anything it's that most of the time you’ve to tell the child to go 2 the lavatory even if they state they don't have 2 cause most of the time the kids really have 2 go and they just won't tell you. Also you might want 2 put her in a pull-up before she goes 2 bed and tell her that when she stops wetting the bed she won't have 2 wear the pull-up anymore.
Answer:
I think you need to cease asking her, just get her up and state “Potty time”, that way you're sure she actually went, of course whether or not she does anything will be a different matter entirely!
Maybe get up when you go to bed and just put her on the toilet too, you don't have to fully wake her up just carry her.
Kid's can suffer from bed wetting for years try not to be angry with her about it, reassure her it's ok to have a tiny “accident” now and then.
Answer:
Why not just purchase her some pull ups to sleep in? Did she just start doing this lately? Here is why I ask…my oldest son started wetting the bed out of the blue. He was so embarrassed and had no explanation for it. It turns out he had an intestinal blockage and the blockage was pressing on a nerve when he laid down for bed. He really had no control over it and I was so thankful I had never once been hideous to him about it. There could be any number of reasons why she is wetting the bed. I was still letting my youngest son sleep in pull ups last year and he was 4. In all honesty, 9 nights out of 10 the pull up was dry. Finally, he didn't want to wear them anymore.
Answer:
This normally happens with young children. There could be two reasons. One - their sense of judgement on whether they have the ability to make it through the night is not good enough. Second reason seen in a few kids is the laziness to get out of bed.
One good practise to follow is that you insist that she goes to the restroom everynight before she gets into bed, whether she feels the urge or not. You may need to do this might be for a year or two.
Answer:
You shouldn't ask her if she has to go before putting her to bed, you should tell her she has to go before getting in bed.
Answer:
just make her go to the loo make her sit there until she goes and then she will never wet the bed after that
