About this item

Millions of children over the age of five wet their beds every night. Many parents think they must be doing something wrong when their five-year-old is still in diapers while their friends' children are perfectly trained by eighteen months of age. This undoubtedly is a very embarrassing and frustrating problem for both the parent and child, and can interfere with family dynamics and a child's ability to enjoy ordinary social situations.



About the Author

Dr. Joseph Barone M.D.

Bedwetting and other toilet training problems are very common conditions for new parents. I am a pediatric urologist and when I was starting my practice 15 years ago, I got many questions from parents about these topics. "When is the best time to potty train? ", "Why does my child wet the bed? ", "Did I do something wrong during toilet training? ". I wanted to give answers based on science and I did not want to just give my opinion on the issue. When I went to look at what is really known about this topic I discovered that over 95% of the information that can be found on these topics are based on opinion and not fact. I decided to start to try to answer the bedwetting and toilet training questions I was hearing in my practice by studying the topic scientifically. Over the last 15 years I have done many studies on bedwetting, day wetting and other toilet training conditions and I was finally able to give real answers to these questions. My book, "It's Not Your Fault" is based on my research and I hope it will be useful to you if your child is currently at the toilet training age or is experiencing a toilet training problem.
