Wearing nappies at 10

Wearing nappies at the age of 10 is generally atypical and may be a sign of medical or developmental problems. By the age of 10, most children should have achieved full bladder and bowel control, which means they no longer need nappies. If a 10-year-old is still wearing nappies, it's important to consult a healthcare professional to assess the situation.There are a number of possible reasons why a 10-year-old may still need nappies, including medical problems such as enuresis (bedwetting), severe constipation, developmental problems or neurological disorders. Treatment and management will vary depending on the underlying cause of the problem. It is essential to consult a doctor or specialist to determine the cause of the problem and put in place an appropriate treatment plan. Children who wear nappies at this age should not be stigmatised or made fun of, as this can be a source of shame and anxiety for them. Empathy and support are essential to help the child overcome these difficulties.
