Bedwetting in Children

From a biological standpoint, the bladder capacity of a child is not generally adequate in size to allow him or her to sleep all night without incident.This can be also be a heredity factor.

Bed wetting, or "enuresis" is common among children up until the age of 3, and in some cases 5 years of age. Although the bladder size plays an integral role in the pattern and frequency of wetting, it is important to consider other factors such as moving to a new home, a new baby, new school or feelings if inadequacy in your child. Once the latter issues are eliminated there are a few simple steps you can take to decrease the chance of your child wetting at night.

During the day, encourage your child to drink ample amounts of water to naturally stretch the bladder. Distract the child so urination is delayed and the bladder capacity will increase. Over the course of a couple of weeks you will notice a distinct chance in the pattern of wetting.

Set your alarm and waken the child for a bathroom visit during the night. He will feel more secure when he awakens the next morning to a dry bed, and praise should be given for this. Gradually extend the alarm time so the child sleeps longer before the bathroom visit and soon it will no longer be necessary.

Note:When waking your child for this nightly jaunt, be sure he is fully awake and aware, or the association between the waking state and urination will not be there.

Hypnosis is an effective means of treating enuresis, and children respond extremely well.
I recommend this method highly as it is a non chemical based therapy and there are no side effects from Hypnosis. Positive suggestions and encouragement are given that the child will awaken and be able to hold a full bladder, unless at the toilet. An explanation of what will happen during hypnosis is given to the child, and it is always like a fun game to them and in no way intimidating or frightening.The session ends will a positive happy thought, and the success rate is very dramatic.

I would suggest that your seek out a suitably qualified Hypnotherapist who works primarily with children. There are many listings online and you will be able to check their qualifications by contacting the appropriate Certification agency for your peace of mind.
