Hi everyone. I used to wet the bed as a kid and managed to stop myself using the technique described below. It did not work overnight and I cannot be sure this is what stopped the problem. But I have told this to another with the problem and they too stopped.
Let me give you my opinion on what was happening and how it is definitely not the child's fault, but may in fact indicate that your child is very imaginative and sensitive.
I believe that often, the child dreams of going to the toilet, possibly as the bladder tells you it is full, and similar to other dreams where a child may make movements or call out during their sleep, they may actually go through the process and actually pee.
OK, there is my theory on what was happening. I stress this could easily be wrong, but accepting this could be key to helping.
So how can we stop this happening? Well the key to this is recognising you are in a dream state and waking up. How?
Well, there are some theories that many people dream in black and white or grey scale. How does this help? Well if tell your kid that each time before they pee, they must pause and check that there is some bright colour in the bathroom. You can help this by showing your kids what a black and white film looks like, then putting some bright colourful item on each of your toilets. If you sense there is something wrong with the colour then you are dreaming and you can wake up.
Do we sleep in black and white? Don't know. I don't think it actually matters: what happens is that if you are dreaming, you are actually unaware unless you actually think about it.
Checking for a colour item has to become a habit for the technique to work.
If you have tried everything else, give it a go. It's worth a shot. The technique can be used with all other techniques and has no bad side effects as far as I can tell.
Please let me know if you try it. If it works, tell others. If not, no harm done.
