Tips to Get Away From Bedwetting
Author: Corwin Brown | Posted: 01-05-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 4 | 
Bed wetting can be a terrible problem for a growing boy (or girl, of course, though the disorder is comparatively uncommon among them). As he grows up, there are more and more opportunities and requirements for him to spend nights away from home, and the child with this problem has to find excuses all the time. Even within the home, the teasing and humiliation can be merciless.
Children who have an increase in accidental wettings after treatment are considered to have relapsed. A relapse is defined as more than 2 wet nights in 2 weeks. The most likely time for a child to relapse is within the first 6 months after treatment. If a child relapses after stopping a successful therapy, that same therapy usually is repeated.
Rewards should be given for the child's staying dry by waking in the night and going to the toilet. Staying dry by holding the urine till morning is a less satisfactory achievement, because these children have not overcome the primary problem.
Retention Control Training: The child is asked to control urinating during the day by postponing it, first by a few minutes and then by gradually increased amounts of time. This exercise can extend the capacity of the bladder and strengthen the muscle that holds back urination. Parents should always check with a doctor before asking their child to practice retention control.
No drinks before bedtime. Especially no beer, (for the people who do still Wet the bed) Try not to let them get up for a drink and make sure they go to the crapper before bed. If all else fails. Get plastic bedspread and sheets.
Avoid juices of fruits like apple, orange, grapes and pineapple. Avoid sweets, fruits, chocolates, meat and artificial additives. Foods like corn, soy, wheat, dairy products, tomatoes and eggs cause allergy. It is better to avoid such allergy causing foods. Avoid all processed and prepackaged foods.
Another important thing to remember is that no child wets the bed on purpose. And if he does then it does not mean that he/she is lazy or a slob. It's something they can't help doing. Kids who wet the bed cannot feel that their bladders are full and don't wake up to pee in the toilet. Sometimes a kids who wet the bed have a realistic dream that he or she is in the bathroom peeing -but they realize later that he or she is all wet.
Reduce any stress that might be causing problem to your child. Though some stress, such as change in life situations, is inescapable, you can reduce the stress caused by the problem by not making a child feel overly embarrassed or guilty. It may be hard, but try to be realistic about the situation and don’t punish your child for bedwetting--it’s unlikely that it is within her/his control.
Behavioral therapy is the first approach to night-time bedwetting. There are several standard ways of helping your child learn to be dry at night. However, before you start such a program, you need to make sure your child is “ready”. Specifically, your child should be able to understand how to do what you are asking him to do and be motivated to do so. He should not be forced behavior changed. Punishment for bedwetting at night can hurt your child and should not be used.
