If you’re sending your child to a sleep-away camp, TALK TO THE COUNSELORS. With so many children dealing with this condition, chances are they’ve dealt with it before. In high school,l I was going to a church lock-in and a boy from my church confided in me that he couldn’t go because he had enuresis. I talked him and his mother into speaking with the adult coordinators of the event. It turns out that one of the chaperones also had enuresis and together they worked out a solution.
If the above solutions don’t make overnight camp or sleepovers a possibility for your child, consider finding an alternative fun activity. Look with your child for a fun daycamp that takes field trips to interesting places.
Childhood is difficult for a lot of kids for a lot of different reasons, and bedwetting certainly doesn’t make it any easier! Hopefully, some of these tips will be helpful to you. Whatever you do, help your child to understand the medical reasons for enuresis, so that they won’t feel personally responsible or at fault.
