The human body develops in wonderful ways, and the second year of life marks a significant milestone in bladder function.
During this period, the neural pathways begin to form through which a young child becomes aware of bladder fullness and learns to control urination. It is typically around this time that children outgrow nighttime bedwetting. However, if the problem persists beyond the age of five, it is important to seek medical advice.

In rare cases, bedwetting may be caused by physical conditions such as abnormalities in the urinary tract or spine, urinary tract infections, diabetes, or intestinal parasites.
More often, however, psychological factors are behind the issue—such as authoritarian parenting, overindulgence, neglect, jealousy, anxiety, defiance, psychopathic tendencies, neurosis, or intellectual disability.

It is important to always observe our child’s behavior and emotional state, and to talk openly with them about any potential concerns. A loving and understanding attitude, along with timely access to medical care if needed, is essential for supporting our child’s healthy development.
