If your child has sensory needs, I recommend this type of visual aid. In this case, it shows, step-by-step, the winding down and getting ready for bed routine (including going to the toilet just before bed).

Some children with sensory needs can find it difficult to spend time sat on the toilet.

I've had some good results with clients by using fidget toys while they use the toilet. They can help to reduce anxiety and by keeping their hands engaged, they can go into a quiet focus, that takes their attention away from sitting on the toilet.

We know that a lot of children find it difficult to drink fluid during the day. We really want the fluid to be going into the bladder to help with capacity.

If your child doesn't like plain water, add cucumber or some fruit (non-citrus!) to their water bottle to encourage them to drink more throughout the day.

"Should children drink matcha?"

It's the must-have drink these days, which is why some children, particularly teenagers, are opting to drink matcha.

Matcha has a high caffeine content, which can irritate the bladder. It can cause the overactivity symptoms to become a lot worse, plus there's frequency, urgency and wetting.

AVOID! ❌

"Does juice count as hydration?"

YES! BUT, you need to think about the type of juice you're giving your child.

Orange juice, for example, can cause overactivity, frequency and urgency in the bladder and also wetting.

Swap orange juice for apple juice, which is more calming, and the bladder will be able to hold onto it for a lot longer (which will help with your child's bladder capacity). 🧃

Child-friendly books about bedwetting and constipation 📚

Bladder and bowel accidents can be a common part of your child’s development. If you’re wondering how to start the conversation about bedwetting, a relevant storybook is a great place to begin.

As they snuggle up for the night, bedtime stories can help your child to relax and prepare for a good night’s sleep. And if they’re having trouble staying dry at night, bedtime stories dedicated to bedwetting and anxiety can give them the reassurance they need for worry-free sleep.
