There's nothing quite as frustrating as having to change your four-year-old's bed sheets three times a week.
You know they're big enough to wake up in the night, yet they can't seem to do it.
Bed-wetting is normal and very common among preschoolers. And children who are older often have at least one parent who had the same problem.
In most cases, these children become dry at about the same age that their parents did. Here's a bit of reassurance: Almost all kids grow out of it within a few years — most of them before the age of six.
Dr James Dobson, author and psychologist, has two words of advice for parents of bedwetters. First, keep it a secret between you and your child. And second, use patience, not discipline. There's no reason to embarrass or punish a child over something they can't control.
