Child bed wetting - A few facts

Take the time to learn and understand the facts behind
bed wetting. This is a very common problem in children. Research shows
about 10 to 15% of children over three wet the bed and
boys have this problem more often than girls. This
condition frequently runs in families, but by the age of puberty,
the problem should be under control. Be sure to see a reputable
Doctor if this problem persists.

Think about a 7 year old boy or girl who still can’t get through the
week without wetting the bed at least 2 times. Imagine rubber
sheets on the bed, and having to wear pull-ups, but these do nothing
to remedy this serious embarrassing problem of bed wetting. Think of
a mother or father who might think they are to blame for their
child’s problem.

If your the parent of a bed wetter you have probably asked
these question many times:
Why does my child wet the bed?
and
How do I help my child overcome wetting the bed?

Bed wetting may be due to past events in a child’s life, like the
death of a family member or friend, a new baby in the family, moving,
a divorce or some other traumatic event in the child’s life.
Emotional problems can cause a young child to feel insecure and
trigger the beginning of bed wetting. Certain types of sleep disorders
also could cause this problem, and in very rare cases a kidney problem
could be the cause.

Bed wetting can sometimes be caused by a small bladder. A child’s bladder
is small and is not large enough to store urine all through
the night, therefore bed wetting occurs. Children usually outgrow this
type of bed wetting. If you have a child who is still wetting the bed
who is over the age of 6, you may be thinking your child’s bed wetting
is never going to end, and yes this problem is frustrating, but
believe me it is rarely a serious cause for alarm and will almost
always correct itself on it’s own.

Below are a few helpful hints which can help to solve

-Do not be angry at your child, it is not their fault.

help them. Don’t make a big deal out of it if your child
wets the bed.
