"Hi, my name is Doctor Randy Hyde. I've invited Amy to talk with me about enuresis. "Hi, Randy!" "Hi". How extensive is this process? You know, if you're a mother who has an enuresis child, it doesn't matter because one child is enough to just wreck your whole day because you're doing watch and struggling with this child and your self-esteem, your own self-esteem. It's interesting because for two-year-olds eighty two percent are still struggling with bed wetting. For three-year-olds, forty nine percent are still struggling. Now four-year-olds, twenty six percent so one out of four kids are still struggling at four years of age. That's quite a huge number! At ten years of age, three percent are still struggling with enuresis. Now get this, one percent of the population. One out of a hundred, that's quite a few, I think! Are still struggling with enuresis when they are eighteen years of age and older. I'm just thinking that's just real tough! So tell me, are the treatments different for the different age groups? You know, they are just because of the maturity of the child, right. You treat a two-year-old different than you would treat a ten-year-old. You know the foundation is the same. It's the same treatment really. It's the same active ingredient that make the change. It's just how you approach is a little different."
