4 year old bed wetting is more likely to continue in boys until the age of five than in girls. By the age of 4, typically girls have broken the habit of wetting the bed. If they have not, it is then time to consider a treatment option to help them through this.

There are instances however when some girls may continue suffering from Primary Nocturnal Enuresis (aka “bed wetting”) for longer than you might consider normal. And because of this, you need to be careful when deciding what actions to take in dealing with the issue.

4 Year Old Bed Wetting – First Things First

The first step in handling a 4 year old bed wetting girl is to take her to the doctor. A doctor is the only person who can determine if PNE is due to sleep cycles, underdeveloped bladder muscles, or from any other illness that cannot be treated through typical bed wetting treatment methods. Once the doctor has identified what the problem is, and provided the usual solution (in terms of bed wetting medication, or maybe some advice and a few recommendations). it’s time to proceed with the treatment.

Note: it is not until the age of 5 that the majority of children are diagnosed with Primary Nocturnal Enuresis. Therefore, your doctor will be able to confirm if that’s what it is, and make suggestions on things, or if it’s something different.

Always Do This!

The most important thing to keep in mind when you have a 4 year old bed wetting kid (be it boy or girl) is that you must keep your anger, irritation and frustration to yourself.

At this age, children are well aware of the embarrassment and shame associated with bed wetting. They do not like the problem any more than you do. By displaying anger and frustration, you make the situation worse. And a nervous and stressed child is a child that wets the bed even more frequently.
