Do Little Mermaids Wet Their Beds?

A conceptual book about a little girl who wets the bed and then one night dreams about a mermaid who also wets the bed, this bedwetting book is great for young children who have a problem with wetting the bed. Although there is little explanation as to how the mermaid finally stopped wetting the bed, for some kids this is acceptable because they too will (magically) one day stop wetting the bed without further attention to the subject. My daughter likes mermaids so this was a good choice for her!

What to Do When You Worry too Much: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety

Of the many books on bedwetting that are available on the market, this book focuses on helping children that range in age from 6-12 who may wet the bed due to anxiety issues. While most children will stop wetting the bed before the age of 6, a few will continue on up into the teenage years and this is often partially due to anxiety caused by the problem. It teaches children how to make their worries less dramatic and to get over anxiety issues. This often results in bedwetting becoming less of an issue and ultimately, irrelevant to the equation completely! My oldest daughter really liked this book and found the story line funny and easy to understand.

Dry Days, Wet Nights

Many books on bedwetting do not fully address how bed wetters stop wetting the bed but this book really focuses on the physical ability and the fact that bedwetting something that children will outgrow. My daughters both love bunnies so this book was a good choice for them and the ease of the little bunny having the same problem made them feel like they were not in the situation alone.
