I would really go after that teacher and principal for not doing anything.I mean if my son had that happen to him I would be talking to the school board. my son started having more accidents at night when my wife was pregnant. I mean real bad accidents. so it could be that she is nervous of the babys arrival I mean it could be true.

I hope all mums posting here took their children to see "Spy Kids". It has been a great help for me and my 9yo daughter. For those that don't know the movie features a 10yo girl who is the hero of the show and also happens to be a bedwetter and even wears a pull-up diaper to bed. As a direct result my daughter opened up to me about her bedwetting which has been a taboo subject for about two years. She refused to wear cloth diapers to bed after turning 8 so I bought her some Dry-Nites underpants to try but she didn't want anything to do with them. Now she has tried them and found them to be 'ok'. She is even planning a sleep-over away and one back here this weekend - a first for both. I imagine the producers of Spy Kids thought that having a diaper-wearing 9yo in the film would gain some publicity for shock value but whatever the reasons I applaud it. It's great for other bedwetting children to see their problem really is a widepread one (I'm sure we all tell our children this but are we believed?). I wish I had seen such a film when I was 9.If anyone would like to write to me or (parent-moderated) to my daughter Jessica we are at vickytaylor111@hotmail.com.

I am a mother of two boys, aged 12 and nine. The eldest wets his bed every night, the youngest three or four times a week. They both use diapers at night and are used to this. I have been divorced for three years.Our problem is that their father recently have remarried and the boys don't want to sleep over in his house, and let their new stephmom take care of the diapers or (sometimes) wet sheets. Their father has promised that he'll teke care of it, but the boys refuse.I don't want the boys to lose contact with their father, and I really do need a week-end "off" sometimes. Does anybody have som good advice?

we will be going on holiday this winter once again skiing. One of our daughters, she is 9, started wetting this spring and now also has about once a month a daytime accident. At night we have put her back in diapers with which she is basically ok. But on holiday we would like her to wear the diaper with a plastic pant as well because if skiing it is not as easy to have some spare underwear and skisuit and change if something happens. We have suggested it to her two weeks ago when we went on a short break and put her in diapers for 4 days since than her wetting has gone a bit worse.
does anyone have advice on how to handle this? She once had a daytime accident at school with no clothes to change in and was terribly embarrassed. We dont want this to happen while skiing but after the last holidaybreak and having her in diapers during the day was no success we are not sure what to do.
Regards,
Pim

Last week when I was shopping with my girlfriend(22) she had an accident (pooped and peed her pants completely). This was not the first time. Her problem is that she can't hold it, when she finds out that she has to mess (or pee).She doesn't like to wear diapers, she says she not a baby. She is so ashamed. She has fear to go out now.What can I do for her. I am the only one hwo knows of her problems. I clean her up when she has an accident,but what can I do more?Greetings Leo

My son Oliver wets and messes his nappy every day and night. he has done so all his life. The doctor says there is nothing wrong and he will grow out of it one day. I want Oliver to start changing his own nappies but when we leave him to do it he will neglect to change himself & spend hours in a messy nappy. How can i get him to start changing himself? i cant change his nappy forever! i would apreciate as much help as possible-Alison:-)

Just curious and looking for input on what diapers other use on their child and if they do use them. My daughter is small for her age so, luckily the Luvs Size 6 still fit but that wont be much longer. Hope to hear what other have to say.

My daughter started bedwetting a couple of months ago. Now she is wet every night and has been wearing diapers for two weeks. First we have been to a number of doctors and physically everything is allright. Next we went to a specialised psychologist. First theory: child abuse. The wetting started when my daughter stayed for a month with her father during summer. I didn't believe it and my daughter denied it vehemently. Up to then the whole thing had not been dramatised but then it became horrible. My ex, although deeply insulted, collaborated with the psychologist, who soon decided she had been wrong. Second theory: "unconcious regressive behaviour". With 5/6 year olds this kind of regressive behaviour occurs often with the birth of a sibling. In the case of our daughter it would have started when she lived for one month in the same household with her 2 year old half-sister. After some research however the psychologist decided this was not possible (she found not one similar case in the specialised literature). Third theory: the regressive behaviour of our daughter is concious. She got jealous of her little half-sister and now she likes the attention, and maybe also the wetness and the diapers. (The psychologist talked about a beginning fetishism). Again our daughter denied it and we stopped seeing the psychologist two weeks ago, and against the advise of the psychologist, started using diapers (we had used diapers a couple of times before then but had stopped it).Yesterday my daughter had a day-time accident. Now I'm really worried.

ATTENTION ALL PARENTS: One of the leading causes of enuresis in children is stress in the home life, dramatic changes in the child's daily routine, and the child feeling a sense of abandonment by the parents, such as not showing enough positive attention toward the child. With this in mind, these situations should try to be eliminated, along with other efforts on the parents part, such as waking the child up at least 2 hours after going to bed to take him/her to the bathroom, eliminating liquids a couple of hours before bedtime, and positive reinforcement for the child. Trying to humiliate your child into "remission" by publicly diapering the child, drawing unnecessary attention to your child's problem, and punishing your child by making them wear diapers in front of others, during the day, etc. has been medically proven to work against resolving the problem of of enuresis. These actions may, in fact, only prove to worsen the problem by causing more stress on the child and by making the child feel unloved. SO, Parents, before subjecting your little one to such actions on the pretense of trying to help him/or, keep this note in mind and think of the consequences. after all, the long-term goal is to eliminate bed-wetting. Thank you.
