How Can I Help My Child Stop Wetting The Bed At Night?
my 7 year old still wets the bed at night, he wears a pull up.
he pees before bed and i wake him up at night but he still wets during the night.
we have been see a psychologist for a while and she said it all comes from his anxiety problems.
is this true, and will he over come the bed wetting?

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I have few questions for you -
1. Has your son stopped bed wetting at certain age and again started having it
2. If so at what age he stopped and when did it start
If he had never stopped bed wetting form birth...you can try some behavioural changes which I can elaborate after proper history and interaction with you , but the effect will not be immediate, but it will be permanent. If its a recurrence after attaining night time control, I suggest you see your paediatrician to rule out pathological causes like urinary infections or Voiding dysfunction.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
