Dear all.
I am not yet particularly experienced with Constellations and don't have
any experience in this area. However on this issue I am a mother of a 5
year old boy, who still wears a night nappy, and has only just recently
expressed a desire to stop wearing this at night (some nights he is dry,
some not).
When I and my husband was growing up (> 40 yrs ago), a 5 year old would
have been expected to be out of nappies at night, and bed wetting at that
age was considered a "problem". However these days, it is not considered an
issue, at least with my paediatrician, until a child is 7. It is now
recognised that being able to not pee at night is a physiological
capability and this is really variable as to when it develops in children.
Any while many children are able to last the night, or at least wake and go
to the toilet if they need to, well before 5yrs old, many aren't.
I mention this as in some cases a child may have been expected to be out of
nappies well before they were actually capable, and then they suffered the
telling offs, humiliation and bribes that went with trying to get them to
not pee the bed. Which then no doubt prolonged the "problem". So it may be
useful to take into account is at what age was the client expected to NOT
wet the bed, and was this age reasonable. It may be indicative of other age
inappropriate expectations on the child.

Dear All,
What would be of help to think about as I reflect on bed wetting (from
childhood into teens), what would constitute potential representatives or
line of thought to follow?
I welcome your comments
