An alarm is one of the most effective treatments for nocturnal enuresis.It works by waking the child as soon as the first drops of urine are present , which allows the brain to gradually learn to recognize the signal of a full bladder during sleep.
Bedwetting: what are some good resolutions for the new year?
Each new year is an opportunity to set a goal that we wish to achieve during the year.
So, for children, it might mean having an average grade above 19, becoming a junior champion in their region, a doctor, a lawyer… It's important to remember that we need to set achievable goals that make us happy. What's the point of wanting a 19 average if even a 16 is a challenge for them?
The main thing is to do it for yourself and not just for others.
Some of our younger members would like this new year to be the year bedwetting disappears. We congratulate them and will do everything we can to help them achieve this goal.
But first, let's review some tips to help you understand that bedwetting can be managed in different ways and in several stages. Wanting to be dry at night and being able to are two very different things. And they have no relation to the ability to achieve dryness. Not all children are ready to dry themselves independently yet, and that's perfectly normal. It's part of their development, and forcing them to rush through these stages often leads to disappointment for the family, and especially for the child, who will experience it as a failure and be less willing to try again later.
If your child does not show any interest, you should instead look at comfort products that will allow them to sleep well and make daily life easier.
For these children, it may be beneficial to propose the following objectives:
- Agree to wear protective equipment or change the type of protective equipment used.
- Changing himself independently (if he is old enough to do so).
- Cleaning the room after bedwetting
- Change the bed and equip it with new duvet covers
- Keep a urination diary and count the number of accidents per month.
- Plan ahead and note when you need to buy protective equipment on your shopping list.
- Talk to your best friend, a family member...
For a start, it's a good beginning because they will be more independent and will feel like they can better manage their little problem.
We are of course at your disposal to help you find the best products according to each child and each need.
For some, treatment has become a conscious choice and a regular requirement . Now is the perfect time to set this goal and take control of their treatment. Today, treating a child with an alarm is fairly simple and quick, but it does require willpower, consistency, and a certain amount of discipline. Start by talking to your child to determine their true motivation. Look at the different alarms we offer together. We'll help you select the best alarm for your child from a purely technical standpoint. There are also rental alarms available that are very effective and significantly reduce the cost of treatment.
As you can see, this new year is an important year for your child.
Whether he decides to wear protective products, switch to more effective ones, learn to manage his bedwetting independently, or follow a treatment plan with an alarm, know that all these steps are a source of stress for your child. Love him and encourage him in the choice he makes. Respect his decision and proceed step by step.
The results will come and will be beneficial for the whole family.
