Bedwetting Tips - How To Stop Your Child's Bedwetting

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

Bedwetting Tip #99: Understand all risks before you begin

Some methods of bedwetting treatment have almost no risks (think of the honey cure or visualization, for example). Some are risky when administered improperly (alternative or holistic medicine, chiropractic therapy) and some are risky (all medications carry risks of side effects). Make sure that you understand what can go wrong with each treatment before you begin it. Make sure that you can cope with the eventuality if it happens.

Of course, you should try low-risk options (behavior modification, for example) before higher risk options (such as medication). It makes sense to keep your child safe, especially if the bedwetting issue can be resolved with no possible injury. Move onto riskier methods if the low-risk methods do not seem to be working after a few weeks.

Bedwetting Tip #101: Love your child

If you are reading this book and trying to help your child, then you likely don’t need to be told - but does your child? Children who are experiencing bedwetting and treatment for the problem often experience great upheavals of emotions. They need your love more than ever, and they especially need to be told that they are loved - right now. Being affectionate and loving with your child will help reassure your child more than anything that he or she is still loved and accepted. This can help give your child the strength to get over teasing and the other problems associated with bedwetting.

Don’t just assume your child knows you love them - especially if you have been short-tempered with them concerning bed wetting or bedwetting treatment. Tell them.

Bedwetting - Other Facts

Other bedwetting facts worth being aware of:

Bed wetting seems to have a genetic connection. Studies have proven that three out of every four bedwetters came from a family where there was a history of it.
Most children outgrow the deep sleep that causes them to not be aware of the “internal signal to urinate.”
Some children who are bedwetters have a bladder that is not “anatomically smaller” than other people but is instead “functionally smaller.” What this means is that they are not aware that their bladder is full and needs to be emptied until after there has been an accident.
Some children who wet their beds “produce insufficient amounts of the hormone that tells the kidneys to make less urine while they sleep; as a result their bodies make more urine.”
Although it is not terribly common, there are medical problems that can cause bed wetting. Some of these problems include bladder infections, diabetes, constipation and spinal cord abnormalities. Of these conditions constipation is the most common medical reasons for bed wetting to develop.
