Children generally learn not to wet the bed when the anal stage ends; however, urinary disorders continue to be a problem for many children. Nocturnal enuresis problems are often accompanied by sleep disorders. Heredity is an important factor in involuntary nocturnal urination. If both parents have a history of urinary disorders, the probability of it occurring in the child is 3/4. Most nocturnal enuresis is of neurological origin. Due to insufficient nerve stimulation, the child cannot understand the urge and consequently reacts late. If involuntary urinary incontinence is not caused by a urological or neurological disorder, it is psychological in origin. The psychological development of a child at these ages largely depends on their family and environment. Extreme adherence to an orderly and meticulous adult model or reacting against the adult's behavior, domestic violence, divorce, a new sibling, moving, major changes such as a new social environment trigger psychologically-based nocturnal enuresis. Furthermore, overly protective or indifferent behaviors can also lead to urinary problems in children. The role of parents in helping the child overcome the problem is significant. When an incident occurs, there should be absolutely no anger or punishment; words and behaviors that cause shame should be avoided. During the 2nd (anal stage) and 3rd stages (phallic stage) of the psychosexual period, the child builds personality traits such as self-confidence and indecisiveness, while also constructing their sexual identity. Negative approaches during this period can irreparably damage the child's development and adult self. Similarly, overly affectionate and affirming behaviors lead the child to refuse to grow up and avoid taking responsibility. In cases of psychologically-based urinary incontinence, a balanced approach from parents is of great importance for easily overcoming the problem.
