Summary of Getting to Dry: How to Help Your Child Overcome Bedwetting

In this book, the excerpts at the country's leading center for treating childhood wetting show that parents can speed up the clock and children can wake up happy and dry. They cover the pros and cons of wetting alarms, drug therapies, and changes in diet and sleeping schedules, and they provide warmhearted advice on how to replace punishment and shame with rewards and praise.
"Yeah, he wets the bed, but so did I. He'll grow out of it." Sure, he probably will. But in the meantime, a child who chronically wets may suffer from low self-esteem or feel restricted in his or her social life. Pediatricians and parents regularly respond to bedwetting by forbidding water after dinner, prescribing drugs or an alarm system, or even resorting to punishment, but attempts are often sporadic and not part of an organized plan. As a result, they're not always successful.

In Getting to Dry, authors Max Maizels (professor of pediatric urology), Diane Rosenbaum (child psychologist), and Barbara Keating (a nurse specializing in bed wetting) describe their system for analyzing your child's wetting problem and fixing it through a combination plan of behavioral therapy (carrying your child to the bathroom when he or she has to go), an alarm system, occasional drug therapy, and/or diet (no milk after lunch time, for example). They claim terrific success rates. Getting to Dry dispels myths and educates about enuresis, and then leads parents and kids step by step through the process of "getting to dry." The book also includes information for kids who wet during the day, as well as a superior troubleshooting guide that will help parents identify their child's specific problem and choose the appropriate steps to take toward a cure. --Ericka Lutz
