#Asktheexpert I have a 7-year-old daughter. She still wets her pants because she doesn't want to stop what she is doing to go to the bathroom. She waits and waits and waits until the last possible second to go and by then it's too late. She knows she has to go but she chooses not to. It doesn't bother her that she does it. There are more times than not that she will continue to play in wet pants rather than going to change and clean up. I am the one who has to tell her to change.she even wet bed at night , she doesn't wake up herself for pee rather she wets the pant how can stop her from wetting her pants and bed

A. Bed wetting is a common complaint of many kids specially in the toddler age group . this is considered normal till the age of 5-6 years because many a time bladder control comes by this age . If it continues beyond this age it needs proper assessment. There could be many associated factor and the most important is the stress or fear related factor also there could be some chronic urine infection or lack of proper toilet training. Treatment needs a multi-disciplinary approach where counselling restrimkction of fluid intake at night and proper training for voiding of urine are important . Any urine infection needs to be treated accokrdingly.
