Bed-wetting: Not in their heads
Many parents agonize over their bed-wetting sons or daughters. This is because most parents still believe that bed-wetting is a symptom of anxiety, immaturity, laziness, or outright stubbornness. However, recent research shows that most of the time, bed-wetting is due to factors such as small bladders, hormone deficiencies, or genetics. Boys are three times more likely to wet the bed than girls. At least 15 percent of healthy 5-year-olds are not reliably dry at night and many older children wet the bed. If you’d like more info, read the recent NYT’s article by Perry Klass on this topic or check out this book: The Pocket Idiot’s Guide to Potty Training Problems.
