How to Stop Bed Wetting This Month

Bed wetting can be embarrassing and can serious affect a child's self esteem and attitude. Here is tips on getting rid of bed wetting without hurting the child.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. First be realistic and do not punish thinking that it is a kid's fault. Realize you need to give small rewards and help the child gradually learn.

2. Next put out sheets and clean pajamas so they can clean up after themselves and get use to getting up at that time.

3. Consider giving the child an alarm so that he or she can set it off every few hours and go to the bathroom himself.

4. Minimize liquid intake the 2 to 3 hours before bed so that they will have a fairly empty bladder.

5. Increase the fiber in your child's diet to help everything move and reduce the time from consumption to when it leaves the body.

6. Talk to your child and get his or her input on why they wet their bed and work with them on a solution. This will help the child feel more empowered and involved and have an extra vested interest to stop.

Tips & Warnings

• Realize it takes time
