Bed-wetting
Bed-wetting (enuresis) is frequent in children and often has developmental or physical causes. It is no fault – neither of the child nor of the parents. Persistent or newly appearing bed-wetting belongs to be clarified by a doctor. At the Kyborg Institute we additionally read the theme on a soul-related level – expressly as a personal, worldview-based view.
Our sensitive reading
In our reading, bed-wetting can be a “crying with the bladder” – an expression of tension, fear or pressure that may not show itself during the day. A loving, patient handling and a feeling of security do children good. That is a sensitive observation – no claim about causes and expressly no attribution of blame.
Important: have it medically clarified
So that physical causes are recognised and suitable help is found, persistent bed-wetting belongs in medical (with children, paediatric) hands. There are effective approaches to treatment. Pressure, punishments or shaming are not helpful.
What does that mean in practice?
- Have persistent/new bed-wetting clarified by a doctor.
- Meet it with patience and without pressure – do not shame the child.
- Understand the soul-related view as a supplement, not as a treatment.
