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.

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.
