Becoming dry at night has a natural progress. As they get older, children are more likely to be dry at night. With small families, there is not enough experience to show this progress. Though nearly all children grow up to be dry at night, about 4% are wet at 14 years and about 1% become adult bed-wetters.

At ages five and six years - the younger primary school children - we know that between 12 and 16  out of every 100 are not dry at night. Most of these will be wetting the bed every night. For families with bed-wetters, about 70%  of them have a history of bedwetting. It is some comfort for these parents and children  to know that bedwetting is a common condition.

Though it may be said to you that your child will grow out of bedwetting, the person saying that cannot forecast when. Meanwhile, children suffer the distressing condition, fearful that there friends will find out, will not stay-over, and refuse to attend school camps.

One of the parents may have no history of bedwetting and be wondering why is it happening with my child.  More than likely, the other parent's history will disclose bedwetting. So its important that the concerned parent learn about the natural occurrence and that there is a time-proven way of helping children to become dry at night.

Bed-wetting is a taboo subject even in our modern society. Its not talked about even though it's distressing. It is denied by labels: such as accidents and slow to mature. Parents exhort children not to talk about it, even to their closest friends. Grandparents are critical of daughters-in-law; there is something she is not doing right.

The bell-and-pad treatment can produce better than 95% success rate. Your child can be that successful, too. There are conditions for achieving this high success. Where these conditions hold, you can expect that your child will become dry at night. The average time to complete the treatment is six weeks.

Some children do relapse into bedwetting.  For many of these, prompt use of the bell-and-pad returns them to dry nights. Only a few of these relapse again.

Some children are more difficult than others. This is where practitioner experience makes the difference.  What we can tell you is that there are ways to dryness. These will demand more effort, longer time, and adherence to  the practitioner's instructions.

Very few families have difficulty in applying the program.
