Treating bed wetting will often be determined by the type of enuresis a child suffers from. Secondary nocturnal enuresis – where a child has been dry at night for at least 6 months and then starts wetting the bed – could be caused by physical conditions such as urinary tract infection or diabetes. Seeking medical help to determine and treat the possible causes is essential.
Primary nocturnal enuresis is mostly linked to delayed development and could very well be genetic. Keep in mind that in most cases the issue will probably resolve itself as the child grows older. Yet, there are ways to try and treat bed wetting when it starts to become a issue for the child himself.
Before jumping in and starting any treatment there are a few things to keep in mind.
- Treatment will require patience – and a lot of it. There are no full-proof, quick fix methods.
- A child’s self-esteem is often linked to the amount of failed attempts with different treatment methods. Thus, the more a child fails, the worse he will feel about himself.
- No child will willingly wet his or her bed. It is not under their control and they are not doing it on purpose.
- A child that wets his or her bed does not necessarily have emotional problems. Prolonged bed wetting could cause emotional distress but the emotional turmoil stops when a child starts to sleep dry. If a child has been dry for a long period of time and suddenly starts bed wetting, psychological issues may be playing a role. In cases of severe anxiety or stress a child could start wetting the bed. Keep in mind that physical causes such as infections could also be to blame.
- The success of any treatment will be determined by a child’s involvement in the process.
- Respect the child’s privacy about the matter and do not discuss it with those outside the immediate family.
- Adopting a “NO-teasing” policy about the bed wetting is essential.
- Bed wetting often runs in the family. Realizing this may take some pressure of a child.
- Using diapers at night may create a false sense of success in a child and actually prolong the bed wetting. Limit the use of diapers to special occasions such as sleeping out.
