Here is the English translation of the provided content, with the original Chinese line breaks preserved:· To avoid children waking up difficultly after falling asleep at night, it is important not to overexert them during the day. It is best to arrange for an hour of sleep in the afternoon.
· Reduce the amount of salt in dinner, limit water intake, and avoid excessive soup.
· Before going to bed, prevent children from being overly excited. Encourage them to develop the habit of emptying their bladders before getting into bed.
· Parents should cultivate the habit of children waking up voluntarily to urinate. Before going to sleep, remind them to silently recite, "I will wake up at x o'clock tonight to urinate." Parents can also wake them up before the usual time of bedwetting to urinate while they are awake.
· Training children to hold urine during the day can also be an effective method. Whenever the urge to urinate arises, actively control it and temporarily delay urination. Initially, this can be delayed by a few minutes, gradually increasing the duration over time.
