Product Description
Synopsis
Covers the pros and cons of wetting alarms, drug therapies, and changes in diet.
From the Author
Providing help to children who wet.
"Getting To Dry - How to Help Your Child Overcome Bedwetting" began as a conversation between myself, (a then recent graduate of Northwestern University's Department of Urology) and Dr. Diane Rosenbaum, a specialist in child psychology.
"Getting To Dry - How to Help Your Child Overcome Bedwetting" began as a conversation between myself, (a then recent graduate of Northwestern University's Department of Urology) and Dr. Diane Rosenbaum, a specialist in child psychology.
It was a conversation over pizza and began with a simple question of how to help the majority of children who wet that had neither a urological birth defect nor important psychopathology.
Based on what we had seen in our patients, Dr. Rosenbaum and I were convinced that we could develop a successful program to treat the remaining majority of children who struggle each day with bedwetting.
Once nurse and parent educator Barbara Keating, R.N., M.S. was onboard, this spark of an idea soon developed into Chicago's Children's Memorial Hospital's popular and successful "Try For Dry" program, on which the book "Getting To Dry" is based.
Our approach is unique because the program was developed by a collaborative interdisciplinary team, each bringing to the problem his or her own professional perspective and knowledge.
We knew that the "secret to success" was parent, child and medical professional working together. The program is expressly designed to put the control in the hands of the parent or caregiver. It is you who will help direct treatment.
Following our guidelines, you will determine the likely cause of your child's wetting, and develop a strategy for solving the problem.
With "Getting To Dry" -- we offer the first aggressive, carefully organized assault expressly aimed to solve wetting problems -- with the book as your guide you will be able to successfully help your child overcome their bedwetting.
In our country today millions of desperate parents and their children struggle with bedwetting. This book is an answer to that call for help.
On behalf of our entire Try for Dry team, I wish you the greatest success.
Max Maizels, M.D.
Division of Urology, Children's Memorial Hospital Chicago, Illinois

Format:Paperback
Replaces expensive enuresis resolution programs, best reference available to the layman on the subject. We consulted numerous pediatricians and pediatric urologists who were no help. We found the book after enrolling in an Ann Landers reccomended program- could have saved the money- this book was much more helpful. One note of caution- there is a very bad typo in the paperback edition.DITROPAN SYRUP IS 5mg/5ml NOT 5mg/ml. That could be a dangerous error for those interpolating their dosages for tablets.

An excellent book for the subject

This is the book for anybody having children who wet their beds. It provides a good introduction to the different causes for bed-wetting and guidance on how to address them.
In our family we followed the program with the alarm system, since our boy's bed-wetting was due to deep sleep. Using the positive reinforcement and guidelines outlined in the book, our son was dry in less than 2 months. I just wish I had seen this book sooner.

Trials and Trickles

This is truly an excellent, in depth report of how and why children remain at the bedwetting stage in their lives. It is a commitment to a regimen that is necessary to get beyond the wetting stage. I have an 8 year-old male that is a very heavy sleeper. I sometimes think I've comitted more into this than he has. While the Kegel exercises work, and we made a rhyme of it...(we call it doing the Three Pee) it has controlled his over-wetting on most nights. So, our nights of getting up to change sheets are slowly becoming history. In my opinion, if the child is truly committed to being dry, this program WILL work! It's an excellent read for the biological minded. Share it with your twinkler. They'll enjoy understanding the science behind the wet bed!
