DOS

• DO take your child to see your pediatrician or
  qualified medical practitioner to discuss the
  bedwetting problem.
• DO stay calm.
• DO let your child know if you or your spouse had
  a problem bed wetting as a child. If he/she
  understands that bed wetting may be hereditary,
  it can ease anxiety and help him/her cope with
  the condition.
• DO reassure your child that something can be done
  so that they can go on sleepovers or to camp.
• DO protect the mattress from getting wet with a
  vinyl covering or a large towel. A diaper or
  "Pull-ups" works most conveniently.
• DO keep the child warm at night.
• DO praise your child for effort as well as for
  success.
• DO help your child mark his dry nights on a
  calendar and tell him he/she has done well.

  potty in his room.

• DO help the child to wake up when the alarm
  sounds, and assist with cleaning and other tasks.
• DO let the child help change the bed and do the
  laundry.
• DO work together as a team.
• DO help your child handle changes such as a new
  baby in the house or a family move.

  options as you can.
