Daytime wetting

Daytime wetting, a minor issue

Most children are potty-trained from about 4-5 years of age, both day and night. But just like some children still suffer from day-or night bedwetting, there also is a small group (often) of 4 to 7-year-olds who still suffer from daytime wetting. Recognizable? Fortunately, the cause of this is usually innocent and you can do something about it: Rodger offers handy products that relieve your child of his daytime-wetting problem within a few weeks!

What causes daytime-wetting

Most children decide for themselves when they want to be potty-trained. This usually starts from about 2-3 years of age. Often this will lead to being potty-trained fairly quickly, but sometimes a child is not able to stop urinating and/or start urinating on time.

Do you experience the same with your child? Then don't get angry! Wetting your pants is very normal at a young age. Especially when you are being potty-trained, accidents still happen on a regular basis. And that's not a bad thing at all! Because let's put it first; your child doesn't (usually) do it on purpose! But what are often the causes of urination?

  1. Play-enuresis: peeing their pants while playing. If your child is completely immersed in his game, he may miss the signals from his bladder and thus forget to pee.
  2. Is your kid just in elementary school? Sometimes he is just (temporarily) too tired to notice his urge to urinate. All those new impressions are of course quite something.
  3. Your kid can't take enough time to pee properly. Because his bladder isn't empty properly, the chance of urinating is increased.
  4. Being grossed out or afraid of a (strange) toilet. Some children don't like to urinate on a strange toilet. There are also children who find the toilet at school too dirty and therefore hold their pee during school hours.
  5. Too little drinking. Because of this there is often a less clear urge to urinate.
  6. A medical cause. Although the chance is small, there may still be a physical cause for not being potty-trained. For example, constipation or an abnormality of the bladder or urinary tract. Therefore, also pay attention to symptoms, such as droplets of leakage of urine all day long, urination more than 8 times or less than 3 times a day, pain in urination or blood in urine, inability to stop urination, a weak ray, etc. Do you recognize any of these symptoms? Then go and see your doctor first!
  7. Your kid just does not see wetting his pants as a problem...

Or worse, they are bullied by classmates or sports buddies ... Nobody wants this! Luckily Rodger offers help to get rid of the daytime-wetting problem. The Amigo wearable day Alarm and our Buddy vibration watches are lifesavers here!
