i'm not sure what to do. I have a 7 year old boy who constantly wets his pants. I have no idea what to do. I've tried everything i can think of from kind reminders to getting mad and yelling at him(I do feel bad about this) I'm just frustrated I can't be with him at school and he wets himself there as well. He is in 1st grade and so far the kids have not started teaseing but I know that will come if this does not stop. Any advice on what to do to help him stop wetting himself. Has anyone else gone trough this? Any advice or suggestions would be great. Thank you.

Most of the people in that group are toxic parents and I wrote a post about why a child would want to get away from their parents. The scary thing is, there's way more support for toxic parents than victims of toxic parents. The Estrange parent from adult child group has like 2,000+ people... Who don't seem to understand that they caused the estrangement, they think it's the kid's fault and...

I was curious as if any other wives ere married to bedwetters and how it affects you and your marriage and the things you do to cope with it
First: My child never wet himself during normal play when everything was going well, except for times when he was enthralled - such as computer games that he would not pause. There seemed to be a situational component.
In my son's case we found that the medication for ADD called Strattera helped, but only while he was taking it.
Later, he spent a year in an intensive school program for behaviour modification. At that time, we stopped calling his wetting "accidents" and started calling it what it was "he pissed himself today". This helped him to overcome his bad habit.
When my son was free from wetting himself he later admitted that, in hindsight, it was a reaction to intense negative emotion where he wanted out of his situation - including anger or embarrassement.
Hope this is useful,
Nowhere, I don't have answers, but hope that you find the solution. I do know there is no perfect fix and it's a pain in the butt to figure out what to do because it's so frustrating. Also, you didn't indicate if your son has nighttime issues as well? If so, it might be a bigger problem than acting out or reflecting negative feeligns though I do believe there is a correlation when the child is feeling put on the stop or negative things happening to them. Good Luck! :)
