We had a difficult time getting our little Boo to stop wetting the bed, even though he had not had accidents during the day for several years. That's right...years. How was it that he would go dry all day only to have accidents at night??? So frustrating! We bought this book and our little Boo has gone dry at night now for over two weeks! If you are feeling the same level of frustration that we were, give it a shot. Definitely worth the money.

Our 7-year-old was wetting multiple times every night. We had tried the alarm in the past, but always gave up after weeks of exhaustion. This book had some common-sense ideas and we celebrated 5 dry nights in a row today! Glad we followed the advice and finally stuck with it ... it has been 11 weeks of effort, but will be worth it for his self-esteem and our sleep pattern!

I read this book cover to cover in one sitting because it was so applicable to my family. My two children, ages 7 and 9 were bedwetters, and I had a lot of unanswered questions-such as when you should worry, what I should do, the best treatments available, and why it is so common. These and many other questions were answered by reading this book.
I purchased a bedwetting alarm (after reading the helpful comparison chart, I knew which one to buy), and used it on both of my children. I am so happy to see that they both are now dry at night and are free to spend the night away from home. No more pull-ups at my house. I highly recommend this book to any parents of children with bedwetting.

As a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner I see children who are having difficulty with bedwetting. I would definitely recommend this book for the parents, especially if they planned on using an alarm. The question and answer section is a great resource for parents including those that are "special cases". The author presents the information in an easily understandable method. A really good resource for parents.

After hearing my daughter tell her friend that she wasn't allowed on sleep overs, I knew it was time to do something about her bedwetting. She made up that story to escape the embarrassment of wetting at her friend's house. I felt like I had failed her as a mother. We are now in treatment following Renee's advice. What a joy it is to see my daughter's new found confidence. Thank you Renee!!!
