			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Bed-wetting </strong>is fairly common up to five years and sometimes beyond. In fact about 10 per cent of boys over five years old suffer from the problem. Bed-wetting (or enuresis) seems to run in the family. It may also be triggered by psychological trauma, such as the arrival of a baby, or by physical ailments, such as a kidney or bladder infection&gt;<span id="more-120"></span></p>
<p><strong>Bed-wetting</strong> is caused simply by a sensitive bladder that reacts to the pressure of urine, here are some suggestions you you may wish to try:<br />
(1) reduce the boy&#8217;s fluid intake before bedtime and make sure he empties his bladder before retiring;<br />
(2) during the day try to expand his bladder by increasing his liquid intake and getting him to refrain from urinating as long as he can;<br />
(3) make his  bed with two rubber and two cloth sheets and show him how to clean up by removing the top wet sheet and the rubber one under it &#8211; he may then understand that he will be expected to help in managing the problem;<br />
(4) put a potty near the child&#8217;s bed for night use;<br />
(5) be sure to reward your child for a dry night, but never threaten, scold, or make fun of him for bed-wetting. This will only add to his anxieties, which in turn will slow his rate of improvement.</p>
