When helping a child to stop bed wetting it s important to make their environment calm and stable. Don t try to stop bed wetting when there is a lot of excitement around them holidays, and other special events are distracting so a child is not focusing on stopping. This also applies to bedtime. Once again the distractions are too much for them to handle. The Child s Responsibility.
Children have to realize, for many reasons, that their body is their responsibility.
A child needs to know that his or her bladder control is up to him or her. They have to take the ultimate responsibility for stopping bed wetting. Parents cannot do for them. Because of this, it is counter productive to wake a child during the night to use the bathroom. The child will simply expect that mom or dad will wake them up and that he or she doesn t have to worry about it.
