On Bedwetting (Enuresis)

Seven Steps to Nighttime Dryness - Book Review

At 120 pages "Seven Steps to Nighttime Dryness", by Renee Mercer is not a long book, but it is packed with good information about bedwetting and how to overcome it in children. The reader should be aware that the focus of this book is on using an alarm. Ms. Mercer seems to believe that other methods may be helpful, but are not truly effective. As such, this is a good book to get in preparation for the use of a bedwetting alarm.

1. Learning what causes bedwetting and what does not.
2. Selecting the time to begin a treatment program.
3. Investigating treatment options, and making a choice for the child.
4. Finding the right bedwetting alarm.
5. Preparing the child for treatment.
6. Effectively using a bedwetting alarm
7. Knowing when treatment should stop.

The purchaser of this book will be receiving a systematic approach that is easy to follow and is backed up by a good success rate. It is well-written, concise and thoughtful. The book can be quickly and easily read. There may even be benefit to an older child who wets-the-bed reading the book before embarking on the program.

"Seven Steps to Nighttime Dryness" is also helpful in giving a comparison chart of the various alarms available, allowing the parent to choose an alarm that best fits the situation. In all, it is a helpful book and should be strongly considered by anyone who has decided on using an alarm to help stop bedwetting.
