Bedwetting is also called Enuresis. Sometimes, stress does not cause bedwetting but bedwetting causes stress. About 95% children think that they are the only one who wet the bed, which is very stressful for them. Wetting the bed is common in children under six years of age and this condition is mostly due to psychological problems. It may also return in adulthood. Mainly, the causes of these are somewhere related to psychological disorder, like anxiety, stress, unhappiness and trauma.
The causes of bedwetting in children are many:
- Sometimes, kids wet bed when starting school
- The birth of a new sibling
- When kids start thinking that home is not a safe place for them
- When kids have too much pressure of school works
- When they feel neglected abused by parents
- A death in a family may trigger post-traumatic stress disorder.
- Parents think that their child is wetting the bed out of laziness- kid gets worried there’s something wrong with them.
- Some kids have deficiency of ADH (anti- diuretic hormone); those kids wet the bed more during sleep. They release less ADH hormone
- Sometimes, a child’s mind is so stressed that their brain doesn’t get the signal that their bladder is full
- Lack of toilet training
- When kids are stressed they eat a lot of salty foods and they start retaining fluids and fail to wake up from deep sleep when bladder is full
- Stress or anxiety may also cause a child to drink too much late at night; even they may forget to urinate before going to bed

Psychologists believe that if your child wets the bed for a long period of time, the best option is to involve a professional psychologist what exactly the problem is and how it can be cured. The most important factor that influences psychological problem is fear. Kids are afraid of ghosts in the darkroom and they wet the bed. Therefore the most important thing a parent can do is to supporting rather than punishing or blaming the kid. Your attitude towards your child is everything to encourage them.
