Information at Your Fingertips
A Bedwetting Resource Guide
By Melinda Copp
As always, talking to your kids about bedwetting is one of the best ways to make them feel better about themselves. As a parent, you should realize that bedwetting is not your child's fault, despite some popular misconceptions.
"Punishment isn't effective," says Jennifer Lusk, a nurse practitioner at the Center for Urinary Problems and Incontinence Disorders at the Texas Children's Hospital in Houston. "Bedwetting isn't laziness, which is a pretty common misconception. They can't help it."
If you need guidance on how to approach the subject, the article index on the GOODNITES® GoodMorning Club™ Web site is packed with tips you can start using today. The article Talking About Bedwetting with Children is a great place to start.
"The GOODNITES® Brand newsletter and Web site always have a lot of information about how not to upset your child by punishing them and how to make them understand that it's not their fault," says Laura Murphy, a mom from Richmond, Va.
If your child wets the bed, it's natural for you to need help. Keep these resources in mind and use them whenever you have questions or need support. After all, that's what they're there for.
