NightTime Potty Training

For some children, nighttime potty training can be an easy and smooth transition from their daytime routine. For these kids, simply being able to conquer bladder control during the day develops their nighttime habits enough that they are able to stay dry the majority of the time.

You may feel frustrated if your child is one of the many who have difficulty maintaining bladder control. But it’s not your fault, and certainly not your child’s fault. While they may have properly applied daytime bladder control, keep in mind that this is in large part a voluntary process.

For this reason, a positive attitude is a must during nighttime potty training, just as it is during the day. Having a low-stress environment where the child’s self-esteem and well being are cared for facilitates the process of developing this communication from bladder to brain in the child.

Nighttime Potty Training vs. Bedwetting

Did you know that it is considered a part of normal development to deal with nighttime potty training until age five?  Because it is a matter of neurological development, most medical practitioners tend to distinguish between age-appropriate nighttime bladder control development and actual bedwetting.  Bedwetting becomes the term used only when issues with nighttime potty training persist after age five, when you may want to explore other age-appropriate options.

This means being ready to give positive feedback for every dry night and not holding them responsible for accidents—remember, children have no more conscious control over nighttime potty training than you have over snoring or turning over when you sleep. It simply takes time.
