101 Tips To Stop Your Child's Bedwetting ... Forever!

Bedwetting Tip #93: When your child thinks, “This makes home feel terrible.”

Bedwetting affects not just the child afflicted with Enuresis, but rather the whole family. In some cases, children may resent the home or may feel that their problem creates an unpleasant atmosphere at home.

Parents may disagree over the treatment options, siblings may feel jealous of the attention the child receives or may tease their sibling over the problem. The child may also come to associate his or her bedroom with nighttime discomfort. There are many ways that bedwetting can affect the home, and few of them are pleasant.

The best way to counteract this problem is to work together as a team. Everyone in the family should be included in decisions that affect the whole household (decisions such as changing a sleeping room so that one child will be closer to the bathroom, for example).

You should also try to make home as un-tense as possible. Make bedwetting less of a family upheaval by making clean-ups easy and by making the child affected help with some clean-up. Also, make sure that you have everyone in the household agree to no teasing. Creating a serene home environment is helpful for everyone affected by bedwetting.

Bedwetting Tip #94: Take it one step at a time.

You can’t expect your child to stop wetting the bed overnight. For many children, the process takes months or years, and even then the occasional “accident” can happen. Take things one step at a time, slowly helping your child and celebrating successes (such as a week or a record three days dry in a row). Rushing will not accomplish anything and will just put unnecessary pressure on the child.

Bedwetting Tip #95: Stay organized.

Try one method at a time and carefully record on paper how effective it is (the easiest way to do this is to mark off which nights are dry and which are not so that you can see if there is an improvement). If you try several methods at once, you will have no way of knowing which remedies are working and which are not.

Bedwetting - Myths & Facts

Myth- Bedwetters are children with deep-seated emotional or psychological problems.

Fact- This is very rarely the case. Bedwetters are normal, healthy children who have not yet developed nighttime bladder control. However psychological problems can result due to the bed wetting. This behavior can cause a child humiliation and can wreck havoc on one’s level of self-esteem. There is a form of bed wetting known as secondary enuresis whereby a child who is having emotional issues such as problems at school, the death of a family member, etc. may begin wetting their bed due to the stressful situation.
