As frustrating as it might feel to a parent to have to wake up enough to change the sheets after a child has wet his bed, it is much more difficult for the child. He can feel embarrassment, guilt or shame that he has caused this incident, despite that fact that he can have little control over the situation. Granted there are precautions one can take such as limiting fluids after dinner, being sure the child has used the bathroom before bed etc. However the involuntary emptying of the bladder has predominantly psychosocial causes. It could be that a sibling was recently born or that there are new stressors at day-care, kindergarten or elementary school. Between the ages of 4 and 7 a child is learning to develop complete bladder control. If a child older than four wets his bed more than once a week, or if it occurs in a child older than seven then you might want to consider homeopathic treatment. There are several important homeopathic remedies for children experiencing bedwetting. These are prescribed according to the temperament of the child, what might be causing the child distress, and the symptoms that accompany his individual case. There is help so that your child can successfully sleep through the night without incident!
