Bedwetting

Bedwetting is also known as nocturnal enuresis. It’s very common in toddlers/young children and usually disappears around age 4, in time for starting school. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines state that nocturnal enuresis is the involuntary wetting during sleep, without any inherent suggestion of frequency of bedwetting or pathophysiology. It is considered normal up to the age of 5 years and is common up to the age of 10 years.

One of the challenges for the modern family is parenting. Bedwetting is a natural cycle that we all go through, usually by the age of 5 the majority of us will have learned how to enjoy sleeping in a dry bed. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines consider that nocturnal enuresis is normal up to the age of 5 years and is common up to the age of 10 years.
Bedwetting is not hereditary or genetic, however it is easy to see how many parents may think this as they bring their child up in the same way they were brought up. This leaves the potential for your child to develop this attention seeking behaviour.

How can bedwetting be stopped? This is a common question! Many professionals focus on the wet bed and the child having a problem, this can bring a lot of shame into the home for the parents and particularly the child. It needn’t be this way. Focusing on what you want to have happen, which is a ‘dry bed’ and stop, stop, STOP focusing on what you don’t want to happen, otherwise you will perpetuate the problem. Remember whatever you focus on becomes your reality. 

If you think of bedwetting as a sign from the subconscious mind of your child, that they are unsure of something, and the key to getting rid of bedwetting is then to positively focus on bringing stability to the child’s world. When a problem becomes unconscious it can be very difficult to treat, the use of bedwetting alarms and other such gadgets are designed to awaken the child during sleep so they may go to the toilet. The problem is that the child isn’t responding to their bladder calling them to awaken.

Psychologically, bedwetting does not need to be a sign of emotional abuse, anxiety or stress. It can simply be a learning step that requires a little bit more practice. If your child has started to wet the bed and they’re clearly out of that stage, then obviously something is bothering them. Little mishaps can happen and that’s ok, if it’s happening more regularly then this could possibly be a medical problem or it’s far more likely to be an attention seeking device. Remember attention to a child isn’t positive or negative, it’s simply attention but many parents find themselves trapped not knowing what to do here. Do you secretly change the sheets before they wake up or wake them up and tell them that they’ve wet the bed? Either way is a bit of a mess and not nice for either the parent or the child.

Tonight, when your child is in bed, share with him/her that you have a secret, but it’s only between you and her/him. Make them promise not to say anything to anyone else. Once they’ve promised, share with them that you were a ‘bed wetter’ when you were their age. Then tell them that your mum/dad, their grandma, grandpa had the same problem too, when they were this age, but one night my (insert child’s favourite parent/grandparent) tucked me into bed kissed me on the forehead and said “tomorrow it will be dry”. Say to your child “It was like magic” and the very next morning my bed was warm and dry. Then tuck your child in, kiss him/her on the forehead and say “tomorrow it will be dry”. This is a post hypnotic suggestion, which if delivered well, works! 

Bedwetting in teenagers and adults can fit within a similar remit, e.g., stress, fear of uncertainty etc. If none of these are present and the symptoms have appeared suddenly then best to seek medical advice.

Warning – as much as you may be tempted do not use diapers/nappies to prevent bedwetting! This will only serve to perpetuate the problem as the bed remains dry and the child doesn’t have their attentional needs met. Sometimes a house move, change of school, family upheaval, the list goes on…..but basically any change that challenges the status quo for the child can provoke bedwetting. The good news is I’ve been sorting children with this issue for over 25 years and my results are guaranteed.

Bedwetting, also called nocturnal enuresis, is when a person involuntarily passes urine in their bed during sleep. It is common with children under 6 years old, but can affect people much older.
