The end of bedwetting: Lighting the path to victory.

Does it really matter if your child wins first prize in the spelling bee, scores the winning goal for their soccer team, or wins an award for never missing a day of kindergarten?

In fact, to the surprise of many parents, the answer is yes!

While I always emphasize the importance of stepping outside your comfort zone and trying new things even if you're not an expert, it's just as important for children to hone their skills and achieve success. Personal accomplishments, big or small, are crucial for building confidence and self-esteem. A child's well-being depends on a healthy body and a healthy mind. In fact, the two are interdependent.

So when one of them isn't doing well, the other feels it. Parents are uniquely positioned to lay the foundation upon which their children build a strong sense of self. A positive sense of self will help children cope with potentially stressful situations, such as starting at a new school, having a new sibling, or nighttime problems like bedwetting.

Even though bedwetting is a common problem affecting over 5 million children over the age of five, many feel ashamed and embarrassed. That's why it's important to understand their feelings and provide them with accurate information. Bed-wet.com is a trusted resource for parents.

When bedtime is no longer a struggle, parents can spend more time bonding with their child. Use these precious moments to talk to your child about one of their accomplishments from the day. Consider asking open-ended questions to keep the conversation flowing and reinforce the positive with heartfelt praise. Try to avoid empty praise, as your child will become suspicious of you in an instant.
Children are like detectives. They can spot a lie a mile away. Focusing on the positive and eliminating the negative remains excellent advice, especially in the evening.
