My son is 4y old. Still wets him self while naping in school he is the only one out of 10 kids his age in the class room. It effects him so much and he stays to him self the entire afternoon. I tried cuting fluids before lunch but it did not help. The envirment in school is perfect and he is not afraid to be there. He does not like the fact that he is the only one who wets him self and it start getting to him. I am afraid with will effect his confident as some other kids started making fun of him :-( . We run blood and urin tests and all is normal. Please advise if you know how to help. Many thanks for your help and making a kid happy.
Helpless Mom :-(

hun he's only four so sometimes it takes a while for them to get through that, I'm pretty sure he's fine, but maybe you should have the teacher make sure that he goes before class or maybe check up on him every 20 minutes or so to make sure he's okay. Maybe you should also go over what it feels like when you gotta use the restroom so it'll click with him eventually when I feel like this it's time to go vs waiting to late, he's fine though : )

You cannot force toilet training (sleep) on children. When their bodies are ready it all happens naturally.
I think you should talk to the teachers/carers with advice on your son wearing "pull ups" @ nap time. They can easily direct your son so he can change while the other kids are distracted with something else. None of them even need to know he has them on.
Don't worry, as long as you help your son when he is in these public situations his body will soon adjust when it is ready.
All children are different - my oldest child (daughter) was not dry at night until she was 7. But my next child was dry from age 2. He was toilet trained first. Each child is different and there is no need for medical tests unless the child is over 8.

try reward classes: He gets a decal for on a daily basis he does not have an twist of destiny, or a decal for every time he makes use of the potty. you additionally can do some thing else, like a number of day without an twist of destiny he gets a smiley face on the chart, and on the tip of the week, if there's a smiley face on on a daily basis, he gets a toy. while my young toddlers have been potty education I rewarded them with money...I only took some from my wallet, possibly a nickel, a dime, and 3 pennies, and that they've been given some money every time they used the rest room. After a on the same time as, the money extra to three money, and that they might circulate p.c.. out a toy. i think of your son's subject is his loss of pastime in potty education, which the rewards could help with. yet while he extremely only won't be able to make it to the bathing room, take him each and every 20 minutes and function him attempt to circulate. :)

Talk to you pediatrician. At 4 years old it might not be a big deal. Maybe it is to you. But there are some kids that wet the bed well into their teenage years. There is a medication that they can take before they go to bed to keep them from urinating in their sleep. I doubt 4 yr olds can take it, but ask....you never know.

My daughter (who is almost 4) has the same problem. It is nothing to be overly concerned about. Some children can't control the ureter muscles while sleeping. It's OK. In time, they will grasp this concept. Until then , continue to use pull-ups.

First of all if he's being fun of than he will be wetting on his self more offen. Second at home does he ask you he need to potty? If you ask you that he need to potty than everyday before you leave him you need to tell him tell the teacher that you need to potty and I will check with the teach and see if you potty before nap time. If he does potty before nap time than reward him when you pick him up maybe that will work. Good luck

my 4 year old still wets the bed but we have been told they don't see it as a problem until he is at least 6 as his system is still maturing.
