Bedwetting alarms – how they work
- Some $30 alarms are as effective as the $100-$300 alarms because the process is Pavlovian and mild aversion therapy.
- Under age 7? Alarms are usually unhelpful because smaller kids are afraid of the noise and lack persistence and motivation. Let the child play with it to get used to the sound.
- Before you buy an alarm try the Clock Test. If your child wakes to an alarm the first night but not on the next few nights, they need more supporting methods.
- If you already have an alarm that doesn’t wake them, call me
Bed wetting alarms are meant to identify the child’s problem time, and give the parent a chance to intervene and adjust their sleep. If it doesn’t wake the child you should include changes in diet, visualization, mantras, bladder toning and possibly treatment for constipation, to get more comfortable sleep to support the alarm process.
DryKids clients average 6 weeks to dry because we address all of the causes.
The alarm we use: $325 US with Coaching and Video lessons
We include the alarm: Coaching provides guided imagery, elimination diet, bowel and bladder toning, motivation, and education for success rates as high as 95% can be achieved. Our DryKids program lightens sleep, tones the bladder and uses a bed wetting alarm to identify the times that a child needs help, when the parent can get involved to change the child’s sleep pattern.
There should be a bed wetting Coach in every town because the main obstacle to getting dry is a lack of information and support. A Coach is a teacher for the child and a motivator for parents.
