Bed Wetting
Apparently bed wetting sleep disorder is hereditary, but can be cured. It is very rare for children from the age of 10 years and older to still have this disorder. Read on for more information on what possibly causes bed wetting.
Many causes may induce or trigger bed wetting sleep disorder in children. Some of the most common include stressful times – for example, a change of school, bullying at school, insecurity caused by fighting parents, fear of parents, feeling inferior, and so on – or physical problems like having a small urinary bladder or weak muscles. It is extremely rare that bed wetting sleep disorder is caused by any particular physical ineptness or disease.
There are two types of bedwetting; one is called primary bed wetting sleep disorder
where children keep wetting the bed every night without any response to medication and support from family and friends. The other is when the bed wetting sleep disorder occurs intermittently once every three to four months, sometimes after a gap of six months.
If your child suffers from this malady – do not worry – there are many simple yet extremely efficient ways to help them. Here’s a quick summary of the most popular approaches:
First, children who suffer from bed wetting sleep disorder are extremely ashamed of themselves, and thus have an extremely shy nature and low self-esteem. The first thing that they need is the assurance that it is not their fault and that there is nothing to be ashamed of. You can share, perhaps, how your grandfather behaved with you when you were bedwetting – this can lead to a wonderful bonding moment.
Next, do not give your child any fluids less than two hours from going to bed. Before they go to bed, ask the child to urinate and then sleep. Make this a habit as routine as brushing teeth.
Until the child overcomes this affliction, make sure that you wake your offspring at least twice in the night, and take them to the toilet to empty their bladder. Learn bladder-stretching exercises and teach them to your child.
Understanding your child when they have an accident is very important. Be very supportive and tell your child that they are not the only ones that have a problem. Be patient and make sure they know its not their fault, and gradually they will move away from bed wetting.
