Does your child deny bedwetting?

I feel it's not uncommon for kids or adults with wetting problems to deny it. By doing so they feel the problem isn't real and will go away. Unfortunately that doesn't work. My advice is to talk to your child privately and honestly about their wetting. Reassure them that it's not their fault and that there are other kids with the same problem. Show them the kid's page so they see they're not alone, be supportive and have them wear protection if they wet regularly.

I have two children that have trouble with bedwetting. My son doesn't have any problems accepting the fact that he wets at night. My daughter has trouble with anyone knowing about her bedwetting. We try to make her feel better about herself by using GOODNITES® Underpants so she doesn't wake up and have to be cold and change a wet bed in the middle of the night.

Both my children wet the bed, and it's even hard for me to talk about it. They are 12 and 9 years old. I buy them GOODNITES® Underpants, and they are so embarrassed they don't want to wear them. My 12-year-old girl hides her wet underwear, and it's getting to be a nuisance because it smells. I don't make her feel bad about it because I love her and don't want to see her sad but I need some suggestions. My son he's a little discreet and doesn't wet the bed every night.

Yes, but I tell him I had a similar problem and that there are a lot of other kids with this problem. I found out that my family has a history of bladder problems, and the children saw a doctor who is helping us with this issue.

I have a foster grandson who wets the bed. Of course he is embarrassed about it, and his brother will comment about him being a baby. He doesn't want to sleep in overnight disposable underpants because [he thinks] they are diapers for a baby. I explained to him that I wet the bed until I was a lot older than he is and it is normal for some children to wet the bed and in time he would stop, too. I explained that GOODNITES® Underpants are "sleeping underwear" and when he gets up in the morning to put on his "big boy underwear." This has helped the balking about wearing his overnight underpants!
