Wetting the bed: Put this distressing problem to bed

MANY parents have a child who wets the bed. Research shows that bed-wetting occurs in more than half of Irish families, but children still feel distressed and humiliated when they do it. Also, parents worry the children miss out on many of the activities that are part and parcel of childhood.

According to a new study by the ‘Search for a Dry Bed Campaign’, 62% of participating parents say their child’s bed-wetting prevents them from enjoying sleep-overs and summer camps.
