Dealing with bedwetting

By Dr Monda Ang’awa

John is a healthy and active nine-year-old boy. Until recently, when he learnt he was ‘different’ from his friends, John was outgoing. Since he discovered his embarrassing problem, he has become more introverted, fearing the taunts of his peers. John wets his bed at night and his parents are getting worried, especially as his three-year-old sister is completely toilet trained. John’s parents want him to join a private boarding school, but he is reluctant because of the problem.
