Bedwetting & anxiety advice!

LisaEntwistleEvans profile image

Hello all, new here and would be so grateful for advice. I have 3 sons, very close in age (only 3.5 years between first to third, the early years are all a blur!) My oldest (13)and youngest (9) sons are v alike, always happy and laid back, but my middle son (11) is super sensitive and often angsty (does middle child syndrome genuinely exist??) Middle son is the only one who has ever had bedwetting issues but now at almost 12, it is becoming a big deal for him, even though I have always played it down as a non-issue (though obviously he knows his little bro doesn't wet the bed, so he marks himself as a "failure" on that front) He's ashamed to go to sleepovers in case he wets, which makes him feel left out - we've seen docs but got nowhere with meds and alarms. Can anyone offer advice - he's just joined a new high school and whereas his old friends knew him from age 5 and don't bother about his bedwetting, its a whole new ball game when you're 11, at high school and trying to fit in...especially in these days where everyone is an armchair critic, thanks to the "wonders" of social media! Thanks in advance for advice x
