Step 1: Watch together.
You and your child watch four engaging video sessions that explain how the brain and bladder communicate (and how to teach them to work together).
Step 2: Practice independently.
Your child practices simple techniques for 10-15 minutes before bed using the downloadable written exercises and guided audio.
Step 3: Track progress.
Your child tracks their dry nights and celebrates improvement using the included calendars.
That’s it. No medications. No alarms. No complicated schedules. Just a skill that lasts forever.
Week 1: Enhancing motivation and understanding how your brain and bladder work together (28 minutes)
Week 2: Learning the visualization and practice (15 minutes)
Week 3: Practicing and strengthening the connection (2 minutes)
Week 4 and Conclusion: Celebrating success and tips for the future (2 minutes)
Parent watches the whole program. Then the child watch the first three videos. Motivation is enhanced while your child learns how their brain and bladder work together to keep them dry at night. Many families see their first dry night within the first week—but if not, that’s completely normal, too.
Your child learns the visualization exercise and practices daily. The brain-bladder communication strengthens. Progress may include clusters of dry nights, or steady improvement over time. Remember: Progress isn’t always linear, and that’s okay.
Most families see significant improvement by this point. Some children are dry every night. Others have occasional nights that aren’t dry yet. Both patterns indicate the skill is being learned.
The skill continues to strengthen. Most children maintain their progress long-term because they’ve learned how their brain and bladder work together. This is a skill that stays with them.
Important reminder: Every child is different. Some improve quickly, others more gradually. What matters is following the program consistently and maintaining positive expectations.
Keeping the Bed Dry® was evaluated in an independent research study conducted by the Division of Pediatric Urology at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland, Oregon, and published in the peer-reviewed journal Clinical Pediatrics (2023).
“If one were to craft an ideal treatment for children with bedwetting, it would likely be risk free, effective at reducing nights that aren’t dry yet, minimally impactful on child and family, eliminate transportation barriers, and be cost effective at the same time improving self-esteem and overall quality of life for the child. This program seems to meet those criteria.”

Watching this program seemed to be the only thing that helped my 10 year old son, and he had pretty much lost hope before watching it.
My son was very resistant to the program. It was a struggle just to get him to watch it, and he did not really follow most of the instructions.
Still, despite all of that, he sat through it and miraculously started to have fewer wetting accidents as soon as he started watching. The number of accidents continued to decrease over the next few weeks.
Two months after completing the program, he still occasionally has accidents, but he went from nearly every night to maybe once a week at most, so we are extremely grateful!
