Bed wetting alarms are one of the best methods of stopping bedwetters. The success rate is above seventy percent. The simple idea of waking a child (or adult) up when the bed gets wet teaches the brain in a positive way.
Bedwetting is normal until the child becomes five or six years old. Until then the child should have learned already how it works. If not, there is a mental problem. Physical problems are rare. The child may have a little bladder and the sleep during the night might be too deep to wake up. In most cases bedwetting is just a matter of learning a habit.
A bedweeting alarm can do this simple job without harming the child physically or mentally. The purpose of the alarm is to wake the child up. At one time the child will wake up from alone before the bed gets wet. The alarm helps to learn the habit of getting up in the night to go to the toilet.
Motivate the child to 'beat' the alarm. Make a positive experience of it. Make it easy for the child to wake up, switch on the light and get to the toilet. Use this technique for at least 3 to 4 weeks. It can take three months until the problem is solved.
The first time train the situation with your child. Trigger the alarm and tell the child what is going on and what it has to do. Lie on the bed with closed eyes, trigger the alarm, get up as fast as possible and get to the toilet. Train this a few times to make sure your child knows what to do in the night when it wakes up from a deep sleep.
