Bedwetting in a 7-year-old child: causes and effective solutions
Bedwetting when your child is 7 years old becomes quite a difficult problem. At this age, the child likes to have sleepovers at a friend's house. But yes, that diaper. The child starts to feel ashamed of it. To get rid of bedwetting quickly and effectively, the bedwetting alarm for 7-year-olds can be the solution. Of all the children who use the Dryly® bedwetting alarm, no fewer than 93% go to the toilet at night within 6–8 weeks. Dry, the help you need!
Not a disease
Seven-year-olds who wet the bed do not have a disease. In almost all cases, it is a matter of delayed toilet training at night. Bedwetting is only considered a "medical" problem by doctors if a child over 7 is still wetting the bed at least once a month. It is only considered a "medical" problem if the child experiences it as such. The medical term for bedwetting is "enuresis nocturna". Bedwetting almost never has a physical cause. However, the GP or pediatrician will always try to rule this out. Once a physical cause has been ruled out, a bedwetting alarm for children aged 7 and up is one of the solutions for bedwetting.
Solutions for bedwetting for children aged 7 and up
There are various solutions for bedwetting for your 7-year-old child. Which method is most suitable for the child depends largely on the needs of the child and the family. The bedwetting alarm for children aged 7 and up is most recommended by doctors because of its long-lasting effect. Usually, the bedwetting does not stop immediately from the first day, but you will see initial results within 16 weeks.
Other solutions than the bedwetting alarm
For children aged 7 and up, there are solutions other than a bedwetting alarm. Medication, for example. The advantage is that medication works immediately; the kidneys then produce less urine. This is useful if the child is staying somewhere else. However, the medication does not help to resolve your 7-year-old child's bedwetting problem. If the child stops taking the medication, there is a good chance that the bedwetting will return.
You can, of course, also wait. Every year, about 11 percent of children who wet the bed spontaneously grow out of this phase. A switch is flipped, and the signals are suddenly recognized. We do not recommend this, however, because it does not contribute to the child's self-image. Children who wet the bed do not want to have sleepovers at friends' houses and feel very limited because of it.
Bedwetting alarm for 7-year-old children
There are various bedwetting alarms for children. The Dryly bedwetting alarm for 7-year-olds is unique in its kind, however. Bedwetting is a major problem for 7-year-olds and often leads to a lot of frustration and emotion. What distinguishes the bedwetting alarm for 7-year-olds from other bedwetting alarms is its positive approach. From experience, we know how difficult bedwetting can be for the child and for the parents as well. That is why we have developed a unique method based on the scientifically proven method for treating bedwetting. Wizzu, the panda bear included in our packages, supports the child and makes toilet training less stressful.
Wizzu, the panda bear, takes the child on an adventure with games, a smile, and a hug when needed. This way, we can also work together on dry nights. Of course, support from parents is also necessary.
The insights provided by the bedwetting alarm
The bedwetting alarm for 7-year-olds has another special feature that makes it unique: the insights it provides. As parents, you often only find out in the morning that your child has had an accident. Many children feel ashamed and do not say anything about it, so it sometimes does not become clear until the evening, when the wet bed is discovered, that the child had wet the bed the previous night.
When an accident occurs, a notification is sent immediately to the phone via our handy mobile app. This information can also be shared with the doctor so that they can immediately get a good overview of the child's bedwetting behavior. This can save numerous consultations and make it easier to solve the problem of bedwetting in 7-year-olds.
