Enuresis is defined by doctors as “involuntary
nocturnal urination in the absence of any organic injury
to account for such lack of control”; in other words,
the inability to contain urine when asleep—or “bedwetting”.
Enuresis is no cause for real concern in most cases, and
it is certainly not worth making too much fuss about.
Even so, insofar as it is within our power, we should do
whatever we can as soon as possible to stop children from
wetting the bed.
Nocturnal
enuresis can be very frustrating for parents and lead to
psychological problems for children, such as anxiety and
low self-esteem.
People often mistakenly think that children wet the bed
on purpose or are just too lazy to get out of bed and go
to the toilet.
Parents should not feel guilty or assume that they must
have done something wrong when teaching their children how
to control their bladders.
