Bed wetting has long been one of those taboo subjects that people prefer not to speak about. Some parents feel that if their child is still bed wetting at age four or five or beyond, that they have in some way failed in their parenting. Conversely, some children are embarrassed or ashamed about their bed wetting and feel like they are the only ones in the world that it has happened to. This can cause further problems, including reduced self esteem or social isolation as children seek to distance themselves from other children for fear of being teased. Sadly, these are common feelings for both parents and children and indeed could not be further from the truth. If you are one of those parents who worries that you haven't done enough or you are simply not getting through to your child, then here is one fact about bedwetting to help you realise that you are not alone in this challenging journey - there are currently 5-6 million children world-wide who wet their beds several times if not every night of the week.
