My younger sister is 12 and never wetted her bed when she was younger but now she just started doing it.?

Question

How Can I help her?

Answer 1

Hmm, it could be she has a bladder infection, it could be a sign she's being abused. Talk to your parents and inform them of the situation.

Answer 2

I have heard that if a child starts wetting the bed then they may have an emotional struggle that they are trying to deal with and they are not telling anybody about it. Try talking to her, let her know that she can trust you and maybe she will tell you if anything is bothering her.

Answer 3

If her parents aren't informed, perhaps you should inform them. She might have some sort of bladder infection. My cousin used to until she was in the 2nd grade. Her bladder simply didn't want to hold it while she slept. She outgrew that though. Other than that, maybe she's having some sort of dreams that aren't the most pleasant. This may sound corny, but situations like this can lead to therapy.

Answer 4

Maybe something is bothering her lately. I hear that can contribute to bed wetting. Also, if she goes to bed late, and is too tired to go to the bathroom before bed :S Bad dreams may also cause people to wet the bed sometimes. Maybe she's been having nightmares??? I'd check in on her and make sure everything is okay.

Answer 5

talk to her. There is a good chance she is very stressed over something. Is she being bullied? There will be a reason to why she is wetting the bed. She should also be checked by a doctor

Answer 6

well 12 means it isnt her fault it is some sort of bladder or other medical problem that can either be mild or serious so i'd notify your parents and ask a doctor

Answer 7

OMG SOME OF YOU GUYS ARE MEAN!! i would talk to  your mom  some one should ask her if things are OK and if any one has touched her! something could of happend that no one is a where of! some times traumatic events will cause the child to start wetting the bed,  better safe then sorry! Mabe take her to the doctors,Good luck!

Answer 8

you can help her by not making fun of her and not discussing it because it would embarrass her. treat her normally and you shuldn't treat her any differently especially not any nicer

Answer 9

You can talk her though it. Buy her some Good-Nites until she grows out of it. Usually happens to kid this age that because of hormones and stuff.

Answer 10

First, talk to your mom about it, and just maybe get her to wear diapers.

Answer 11

this could be a sign of stress or something medical. talk to her and mom and see if there is something going on. the bedwetting is not the bigger problem the cause is what you need to be worried about. she may have developed a continece problem or a bladder infection. don't make her feel bad though  this is a really sensitive issue and you don't want to hurt her feelings!

Answer 12
