The child is written into bed - many young parents face this problem. And to find the answer to this question "How to wean a child to write at night?" Is tried not only by moms and dads, but also by pediatricians. So vsyo-taki, why the child is written at night?
This problem is primarily associated with the physical development of the child and the development of his central nervous system. As a rule, children are not taught to write at the age of 4-5 years. Diapers play a big role in this process. If a child is used to walking and sleeping in a diaper, then it is much more difficult for him to disaccustom to this habit.
It happens that a child who is already accustomed to asking for a pot begins to write. This can be due to many reasons:
- the child freezes at night. The low temperature in the room contributes to this process. As a rule, at night the children do not even wake up. Many parents later note that they, even 5-year-olds, are written at night, when the apartment becomes cold;
- Kindergarten. Some children, when they go into the garden, begin to write. If the child is written in 3 or 4 years, then this may be due to new strong impressions. The collective of children, the daily routine, a new atmosphere - these factors significantly affect the development and physical condition of the child;
- the emergence of a new child in the family. If the child began to write after the birth of a younger brother or sister, this indicates his strong feelings. In such situations, older children often feel abandoned. Because of these experiences, a child, accustomed to a pot, may begin to write;
- stress. A child is much stronger than adults who are susceptible to various changes and events. Change of place of residence, a new circle of contacts, a creative circle - all these factors can serve to the fact that the child 3-4 years old begins to write again.
How to wean a child to write?
This process is natural. With age, the child begins to understand that you can not write in your pants or bed, but you should ask for a pot. Parents, in turn, should in every possible way contribute to this process and talk with the baby. There are several recommendations, how to wean a child to write:
- to abandon the diaper or to reduce its use to a minimum. All mothers know how easy it is to use a diaper. Indeed, this invention greatly facilitates the life of parents. However, it should be remembered that in addition to convenience, a diaper can bring significant problems. Children who are used to diapers, which are always "dry and comfortable" do not begin to ask for a pot. They just do not feel the need for it. Therefore, long-term use of diapers leads to the fact that they are very difficult to refuse - and the child continues to write to bed. Many parents accustom the child to the pot as expected, but continue to use the diaper at night. Such a child is not written in the pants during the day, but is written in a dream at night;
- plant the child on the pot, as often as possible, even if he does not ask. Especially this procedure is necessary if the child is often written. Simultaneously, the child should explain why it is necessary to ask for a pot. Children need only a few
weeks to master this wisdom; - accustom the child to a night toilet. Children aged 3-5 years are not yet able to tolerate 9 hours. Therefore, most often the child is written at night. It is best to wake the child at night 2-3 times and put on a pot, even if he says he does not want to. After a while the child will learn to wake up on his own for a night toilet.
It happens that a child of 6 or even 7 years suddenly starts to write. In this case, parents do not need to immediately panic and run to the doctor. You should wait a few days. This phenomenon can be associated with stress and, as a rule, disappears by itself in 7-10 days. If an adult child continues to write for a long time and shows nervousness, then in this case it is necessary to visit the pediatrician.
