Remember: Don’t punish your child for wetting the bed. It will not help! Your child cannot help it. There are many different treatments, and things you can do. Your child’s doctor can help you decide which would be best for your child. Here are some tips and treatments:
- Be patient and understanding—most kids will become dry without treatment.
- If an adult in your family used to wet the bed, have them talk to your child about it. Then your child will not feel so alone or ashamed.
- Respect your child’s privacy, and do not talk about the bed-wetting in front of others.
- Have your child change their pajamas and the wet bedding themselves. (But just have them do it in a matter of fact, “taking responsibility for themselves” kind of way—not as a punishment.)
- Younger kids may want to wear a “pull-up” over their underwear, so that they can feel that they are wet, but not get the bedding all wet.
- Use a reward system, such as a sticker chart on the bedroom wall for dry nights. Put the focus on being dry, to keep the tone positive.
