Bedwetting Issue - The Big Secret

Nocturnal Enuresis (Bedwetting, which is nighttime wetting) and/or Diurnal (Daytime wetting) ... The general public is not really aware of these issues. There are just too many misunderstandings and misconceptions on this incontinence issue, which results in unnecessary suffering for kids and adults from the uninformed general public.

I have been running family incontinence support groups for over 20 years, with the present one being started August 2005. I have found over the years, there just far too much unnecessary suffering due to the incontinence issue.

Incontinence is a big issue that the general public is not really aware of; inasmuch as the subject is not openly spoken about in public. However, it is getting better due to manufactures promoting their products through advertising, especially the GoodNights for kids (and inserting their product in the movies), that people are starting to become more familiar with the issue.

The incontinent products that are provided for protection (Diapers and Pull-ups) are no more and no less than another form of underwear; it is just absorbent underwear.

The issue of bed wetting is a lot more common than general public thinks. There are an estimated 5,000,000 kids in the U.S. who are incontinent.

Whether a child has Nocturnal Enuresis (Nighttime wetting) and/or Diurnal (Daytime wetting), or both, is not really the important issue, but how it affects them is the more important issue. It often affects their self-image, self-esteem and confidence, which can last a lifetime.

Many children have the misconception that they are a baby if they still have this issue. This is simply the wrong impression, because it is not what you wear that makes you who you are. However, children often don't realize this and are not taught that wearing a diaper is just another form of underwear.

Wearing protection just helps them function better in society, exactly like glasses help those who cannot see.

However, our society is not evolving with this issue of incontinence because there is not an enough ongoing discussion on this subject.

Not only has this had a negative impact on children, but it also affects parents with incontinent children. Sometimes parents can't even bring themselves to approach their kids on this subject of wearing protection. This is due to the parents themselves having negative feelings toward diapers and don't want to humiliate their kids. Some also don't want others to think they have failed in some way in their parenting skills and that putting them back in diapers is a stamp of their failure.

Unfortunately, there is just too much unnecessary suffering for kids and adults, which is either self-imposed or brought on by the general public due to misunderstandings and misconception on this issue... Due to the fact they are not being fully informed on the subject, because this subject is still a closet subject not spoken about more openly in public.
