Avoid using expressions such as “Bed Wetting” or “Wet Bed”. Use “Dry Night/s” instead.
Always avoid criticism, and prevent other children from “making fun” of the child.
Always check with the child to ensure the bladder is empty before going to bed.
Ask the child to avoid drinking just before bed-time, unless necessary to relieve thirst.
Allow the audio to be played each night after the child has settled into bed, and is ready to sleep.
Allow the audio to play to the end, even if the child has gone to sleep.
Continue use of the audio nightly for up to three months (or even longer if necessary).
Get an “award" calendar (you can download ours below for free) on which stars or happy faces can be placed whenever
a dry night occurs. Over time, the child will endeavour to achieve 5 consecutive dry nights.
A memorable reward should be presented when this is achieved. (For example, a trip to the zoo, or a movie.)
When this milestone has been achieved, if the child was using security pants, then use of these should be discontinued.
If the child misses a dry night after this time, avoid resorting to security pants again. Instead, continue use of the audio, and provide the child with encouragement and support.
We wish you success and invite you to contact us if we can be of more assistance.
Show them this bedwetting diagram (You can print it out for them too).
This diagram will help them to easily visualize their brain as the "Master Computer" of their body, and that during the day, their
brain and bladder normally "talk" to each other. When the bladder gets full, it sends a message to the brain,
and the brain says "OK, Get Ready", and then it causes the gate to open to let the wee out. Explain to your child that what's happening at night is that their brain and bladder aren't talking to each other.
One or both of them is sort of "sleeping", when it should be keeping an eye on things, just in case.
But now, they're going to learn to stay a little bit awake at night, and if one them feels it wants to go to the bathroom,
their brain will let them know, just like it does during the day.
Let your child know that he or she is going to practice being in charge of their brain and bladder.
They are the boss, and soon, when their brain and their bladder have learned to keep talking to each other,
they'll all be waking up in a nice dry, warm, comfortable bed.
If Bedwetting Persists
What else can you do about bedwetting?
Bedwetting is commonly linked to things like nervousness, anxiety, being bullied at school, feeling insecure, family issues etc.
People often feel they'd like to spend some time discussing these other issues that may be contributing to bed-wetting problems.
As a professional psychotherapist, Rosemary has helped hundreds of people (adults and children) get to the bottom of what's really causing bedwetting.
By identifying the root cause of the problem, families also discover ways to solve other issues that they may not have even been aware of. It's often best to discuss these things in person.
If you'd like to arrange an appointment with Rosemary to discuss these things, just email us and we'll get right back to you. |
