The son is 3.5 years old, well developed, but he is mentally resistant or afraid to use the potty and the toilet. For a year and a half, she has been asking for a diaper. However, she never pee at night, or in her panties. He lasted the longest without peeing in 20 hours. He begged for a diaper, and I finally gave in. Will he be safe if he urinates all day or more?
Retaining urine for too long is not beneficial, as it can lead to significant changes in the urinary system. It's a good idea to let your child pee freely when he feels the need to do so, and not necessarily forcing him to use the toilet or the potty. After some time, she may accept the potty.
