Kid Peeing In The Corner Of Room (What to Do)

Does your kid pee at every corner of the house? This is undoubtedly one of the most dreaded moments for any parent: you walk into a room and find your child calmly peeing in the corner. Even if it wasn’t intentional, it’s easy to panic at the moment and not know how to handle the situation.

The first thing to do, however, is to remain calm and keep your cool, this is an opportunity to teach your child about appropriate bathroom behavior, not an exercise in punishment.

Our kids can be very cute and adorable, they literally know how to rock our world but at the same time, they can be really annoying. It is very relatable to freak out and lose it when they do things like peeing or messing around the house even when they have been potty trained, however, that won’t be the best approach to the issue.

In this blog post, we will explore tips on handling this type of incident, from a gentle reminder about bathroom use to developing a plan for preventing similar accidents in the future. Read on for guidance and advice on what to do when you find your kid peeing in the corner of a room.

Reasons Why Kids Pee In The Corner Of Room

If you have children, chances are you’ve had to deal with the occasional “accident.” Most kids grow out of this phase eventually, but in the meantime, it can be frustrating (and gross) to deal with. If your child is urinating in the corner of a room, there are a few possible reasons why;

• They may be shy or embarrassed about using the toilet in front of others.
• They may be afraid of being caught by a parent or caregiver.
• The kid may not know how to properly use the toilet.
• They may have a medical condition that causes incontinence.

What To Do When Your Kid Pees At The Corner Of The Room

Sometimes accidents happen, and your kid can’t make it on time to the toilet, That said, if it has been a habit for your child to pee around the corner of the room all the time, here’s what you will need to do;

1. Have A Conversation

If your child is urinating in the corner of a room, the first thing you should do is talk to them about it. Try to find out why they’re doing it and see if there’s anything you can do to help them feel more comfortable using the toilet.

If your child is simply shy or embarrassed, try making sure they have privacy when using the toilet and praise them for making an effort to use it correctly. If they don’t know how to use the toilet properly, give them some simple instructions and help them practice.

2. Make Toilet Visits Very Regular

To prevent this kind of accident from occurring again, you will have to see to it that your kid does visit the restroom more frequently. To make it even more effective your child should have bathroom breaks after each meal. Do not try to enforce this rule, however, explain to him or her why it is very important that they go even if their bladder is not full.

3. Involve Them In Cleaning Up

As much as you do not want to scare your kid by shouting or punishing them, you also want to make them know that there is a consequence for their actions no matter how understanding you are.

However, do make look it look like a punishment, instead of an authoritative telling them to get rid of the mess, put it this way “oh I see you made a mistake again, help me out let’s clean this up.” This also gives them a sense of responsibility.

4. Give Rewards

This can help make the whole process even more fun for both of you and makes them eager to drop the habit even faster than usual. You can start a reward chart, and give your kid a star for every time he pees in the toilet rather than around the corner of the room.

Make them know how proud you are that they are putting in effort and making things easy for you. This goes a long way to make the child more inspired to please you all the time and go to the bathroom when he or she feels the need to pee.

Extra Tip: You should consider investing in waterproof mattress covers which will help protect against any future accidents occurring while sleeping overnight too. And on another note, if there’s a medical reason for their incontinence, make sure they see a doctor so that they can get any necessary treatment.

How to Potty Train Your Kid

If your kid is urinating in the corner of the room, here are a few things you can do to potty train them;

1. Talk to your kid about why they should use the bathroom and not urinate in the corner of the room. Explain that urine can cause stains and smells and that it’s important to keep the home clean.
2. Show your child where the bathroom is located and how to use it. Help them practice going to the bathroom so they know what to do when they need to go.
3. Set up a regular potty schedule for your child, so they know when it’s time to use the bathroom. This will help them get into a routine and make it less likely that they’ll forget or have accidents.
4. Reward your child when they use the bathroom correctly. This will help reinforce positive behavior and encourage them to keep using the potty correctly.

Consequences For Kids Who Pee In The Corner Of Room

There are a few consequences that may befall a child who chooses to urinate in the corner of their room instead of using the bathroom. For one, if they are caught in the act by a parent or caregiver, they may be scolded and/or punished (this however, is not the best way to handle the problem).

Additionally, the child may end up with an unpleasant smell in their room that will be difficult to get rid of. Finally, if the child does this on a regular basis, they may start to develop a reputation for being unclean and messy, which could follow them into adulthood.

How to Clean Up Pee in The Corner of Room

Once you have addressed why this happened, it’s time to start cleaning up the mess. Here are a few tips on how to clean up pee in any corner of your home;

• Start by removing any furniture or items from around where they peed so that you can get access to all areas affected by the urine.
• Use paper towels or an old rag soaked in warm water mixed with detergent or vinegar solution (1 part vinegar: 4 parts water)
• Scrub away at any visible stains until they disappear completely.

You may need several applications depending on how much urine was spilled and how long ago it occurred before all traces are gone. All the while, make sure your kid is involved in this process, and let them help in every little way possible.

In Closing

Dealing with kids who pee in corners can be tricky but following these steps will help ensure that both parents and children understand why this behavior is unacceptable as well as provide guidance on how best clean up after an accident occurs.

With proper communication between parent/child plus regular reinforcement of good habits. Hopefully, no more corners will ever become victims of accidental urination again.
