If you’ve seen clinicians for child & teen bedwetting, you’ve probably been recommended either medication or an alarm.
Unfortunately, medication can have side effects, which in my mind, make it a last resort. Depending upon which study one reads, medication provides 1-2 more dry nights per week than placebo, but when the medication is discontinued, virtually all of these kids start to have accidents again. Another study stated that medication helps ⅓ of patients, has no effect on ⅓ of patients, and is somewhere in between with the last third.
There is also quite a high placebo effect when using medication, as high as 59%.
With nocturnal enuresis, or bedwetting, the alarm works in about 2/3 of children, but half of them wind up wetting the bed again when they stop using it. It can also take up to 4 months to work, and requires a lot of parental involvement and supervision… not to mention waking up the entire household!
The problem with medication and the alarm is that they don’t teach kids how to be dry on their own by paying attention to their own, natural body signals.
In fact, your child could be dry as soon as tonight!
If your child is motivated to stop wetting the bed, then Keeping the Bed Dry® is the easiest, simplest, fastest, and most effective way to help them.
I invite you to provide this opportunity to rid your life of child or teen bedwetting for good.
Are you feeling frustrated and upset about your child’s bedwetting?
Does your child wake up feeling embarrassed and discouraged about the bedwetting?
Our simple program, when practiced regularly, has been proven to double the number of dry nights a child experiences each month, with dramatic improvements made as quickly as the first night.
Most doctors recommend costly medications or disruptive alarms, which can make children dependent on external factors in order to remain dry.
Keeping the Bed Dry is a self-guided medical hypnosis program that showed significant improvement in dry nights without any side effects in a landmark study.
We always knew that Keeping the Bed Dry® had helped hundreds of families (see our testimonials), and published medical studies have been giving us data proving its effectiveness for treating bedwetting.
