Synopses & Reviews
In this reassuring, eye-opening book, noted urologist Samuel J. Arnold explains how almost all childhood bedwetting can be cured or controlled. Drawing on over 35 years of experience--and thousands of actual cases--Dr. Arnold illustrates how, contrary to conventional thinking, most bedwetting is caused by underlying physical conditions--conditions that often can be corrected quickly and effectively. And he dispels the harmful and mistaken notion that long-term bedwetting is caused by disobedience, toilet-training conflicts, or parental attitudes.
This essential and supportive guide can help you help your child. No More Bedwetting reveals:
* The many different factors behind bedwetting
* How to determine the root cause of your child's problem and what to do about it
* The roles of heavy sleep, diseases, anatomical problems, allergies, hormones, and other factors
* The damage of harmful treatments such as punishment or withholding fluids
* A full range of tested strategies and recommendations
