Bedwetting
is a very embarrassing situation for parents and the kids who are affected by
it. Usually kids who wet their beds before the ages of 3 -4 years old do not create
any concern for the parents and other family members. It is a major self-esteem killer for kids above
5 years of age as they lose a lot of confidence during this phase. It may leave
kids with some deep rooted tribulations and anxiety that may influence their
lives badly. It is therefore very imperative for parents to support their beloved
kids to defeat their bedwetting habit and to aid them to stay positive about
life regardless of their dilemma.
