EnuresisAdvice on childhood bedwetting and day-time wetting
The Enuresis Resource and Information Centre (ERIC) is a national charity which
provides advice and information to children, parents, young adults and
professionals on the common and stressful condition of nocturnal enuresis or
bedwetting. ERIC also offers advice on childhood day-time wetting. Established
in 1988, It is the first organisation of its kind in the UK - indeed, the
world. This booklet gives details of literature and products available from ERIC.
To order any of the products listed simply complete the order form at the back
of this booklet and post to the Enuresis Resource and Information Centre, 34
Old School House, Britannia Road, Kingswood, Bristol, BS15 2DB. Alternatively,
you can fax a copy of your order on 0117-960 0401. The extent of the problem The number of children who regularly wet the bed:
1 in 6 five year olds
1 in 14 seven year olds
1 in 20 ten year olds
1 in 50-1 00 fifteen year olds and older (including adults)
Source: Young, 1969,. Pierce, 1980. Bedwetting affects over half a million children and day-time wetting affects
over 125,000 children between the ages of 6-16 years in the UK. These
difficulties are not easily discussed:-
"I sometimes get the feeling that I am the only person in the world
suffering from it."
Eleven year old writing in to ERIC The aims of ERIC- To reduce the stigma associated with bedwetting and day-time wetting
- To increase public understanding of the problem and inform parents and
young
- adults of where they can go for professional help
- To help professionals improve their assessment and treatment skills
- To increase research into the causes and treatment of enuresis
- To encourage mutual support
"It is only since I have been brave enough to admit that my children
bedwet that other people have admitted to me that their children do
too."

Enuresis alarms Alarms are generally used by children from the age of seven years. They are
an extremely successful form of treatment, particularly if used with guidance
from a health professional. Contact ERIC on 0117-960 3060 for detals of local
clinics and other resources. There are two types of enuresis alarms or "buzzers" - Bedside or "in-bed" alarm. This has a larger "noise
box" which is placed beside the bed, and a sensor mat which is placed
beneath the lower bedsheet
- Mini or personally worn alarm. This has a small "noise box"
which is pinned on to the pyjama top, and a sensor which can be placed between
two pairs of pants or in a small pad.
- In both types the noise box rings when urination begins, causing the child
to wake up and to "hold on". Gradually the child learns to wake up
and to "hold on" to the sensation of a full bladder without the
alarm.
