As a parent of a bed-wetter I went through months, if not years of aggravation, getting up and taking the kid to the loo every 3 hours and basically hitting my head against the wall simply trying to avoid the poor child from being embarrassed about the fact that it awakened in a wet bed every morning. Putting the bed mattress into the sun and altering the linen every day was not a problem [I live in bright South Africa]
The problem boiled down to the truth that the poor kid had an older bro and the teasing and snide remarks were starting to take its toll on the little tyke, to the degree that the child would not go to sleep however would lay for hours looking at the ceiling, this played havoc on the kid's capability to be up and running in the early morning as we all attempted to prepare yourself for school, playschool or work while attempting to feed them all breakfast etc etc. Outright chaos reigned in the morning for numerous years and after that the child simply stopped [yes! Simply stopped], no more wet beds, no more morning havoc, the bro no longer had a reason to tease and peace lastly discovered its location in our house.
