The impact of bed-wetting on families is devastating  . . .

We are seeing an early elementary school child who was successful with potty-training during the day, but continued to wet the bed at night.  As an older child, she is feeling isolated from her friends and shameful as she keeps wetting her bed.  She cannot go to sleep-overs, nor invite friends to spend the night at her house, or go to overnight camps through school or summer camps.  Her parents are frustrated and feel as if they have failed her because she not only missed the milestone of potty-training, but is beginning to miss the social milestones of a young girl.  To say nothing of the constant changing of bed linens, increased laundry and the cost of pull-ups!   Our goal as physical therapists is to prevent these horrible experiences and let all children experience the joy of sleeping over at a friend’s house, going to an overnight camp without anguish, or missing out entirely on milestone events of being a child.  We also want to spread the word that these children and their families are not alone!  There is help and it should not be viewed as a shameful event! Call today! We can help!
