Oh, Brother!

I Wet the Bed

What Else Should I Know?

"I think the key is that the parents not make a big deal of bedwetting themselves," says Dr. Coleman. Although there will be inevitable stress, don't scold or berate the child for having accidents. Deal with the problem matter-of-factly.

He adds that you also may want to keep your other children's feelings in mind. "They might feel embarrassed, too," he says. They may be afraid to have friends over if they think their brother is going to wet the bed, or they may worry that if they are playing he might have an accident. "I think that if they feel that way, the parents want to recognize that feeling a little embarrassed like that is normal, but that it's not a shameful thing." He adds that you should let the child know that you are working to correct the problem – for example, by using disposable absorbent underpants such as GoodNites – and that the child will probably stop wetting at some point.

Jamie was shocked to learn of his brother Joey's problem, but he was glad he knew. He wondered why he hadn't figured it out himself. "Well, Sherlock," Joey said, "While I work on my problem, you can work on learning to solve mysteries."
