Wetting the Bed21 September 2009
How to help your child overcome it

Bedwetting is a distressing problem for many children, making them anxious about normal activities like sleepovers and school trips. The British Medical Journal says that while most children are dry by age 7, about 5% of ten year olds, and 3% of fifteen-year-olds still have trouble controlling their bladders at night. Jane Garvey talks to author of new book 'Stop Bedwetting in Seven Days' Alicia Eaton and Jenny Perez, Director of ERIC (Education and Resources for Improving Childhood Continence) for some advice on how to cope.

Stop Bedwetting in Seven Days is published by MX Publishing ISBN 10 1904312705
