Summer Camp or Bust
Your Bedwetting Child Can Do It!
By Lyn Mettler
An estimated five to seven million children in the U.S. wet their beds, according to the National Kidney Foundation. And many of them successfully make the trip to overnight camp every year.
He suggests trying to eliminate the problem before kids head off to camp. First, he says to try limiting the amount of liquid your child drinks at night and encouraging them to use the bathroom before bedtime.
If your child continues to wet the bed there are other options that may help, such as a moisture alarm. The alarm sounds as soon as it detects the first bit of moisture, helping your child learn to feel when his bladder is full and when he is about to wet the bed. The National Kidney Foundation says moisture alarms have the highest long-term success rate.
Bedwetting Help is Here!
But sometimes the inevitable happens and other children find out. In that case, Huff says they explain that everyone has wet the bed at some time in their life, even as a baby. Two of the core values of their camp are respect and caring, so teasing is never accepted.
