Each child's responsiveness to toilet training is unique. Some are terrific, some are tough and some are torturous to train. In addition, many children go on wetting the bed long after they are dry during the day. By age four, one in three children are still not dry during the night.
Wetting can be an embarrassing problem for many children and equally so for the parents. There are many myths that add to the parent's frustration in helping a child learn to control wetting.
This easy-to-read book shows the child and parent how the child can regain their self-esteem and control the trigger points to stop wetting.
Many Australian children go on wetting the bed long after they are dry during the day. By age four, one in three children are still not dry during the night. How to Stop Bedwetting is designed to help both children and parents gain some insight into the management and eventual control of wetting the bed.
The first part of the book is written in easy-to-understand language to read together with the child, and there are fun cartoons to illustrate the discussion. It aims to give the child the critical elements for successful management and prevention of wetting. That is - the motivations, the functional knowledge and the encouragement to take control.
The second part provides practical information for parents, covering:
· Common myths and misconceptions
· Facts about bladder control
· Types of wetting - day and night
· Practical strategies to ensure the child becomes the Boss of the Bladder
The third section describes the types of treatment which may be sought from professionals and gives some direction as to their effectiveness.
Facts about Bed Wetting:
· One in ten children up to the age of ten are still wetting the bed.
· Many parents are depressed and frustrated as to where to go next and parents and children NEED to know the facts.

Facts about Dr. Janet Hall's program:
