Parents sometimes ask what they can do to get the child to stop wetting the bed. The classes I've attended say, for the most part, children outgrow it. It's as if one day they wake up dry and never wet the bed again.

Daily dawns another day;
I must up, to make my way.
Though I dress and drink and eat,
Move my fingers and my feet,
Learn a little, here and there,
Weep and laugh and sweat and swear,
Hear a song, or watch a stage,
Leave some words upon a page,
Claim a foe, or hail a friend-
Bed awaits me at the end.

My first recollection is of a nurse telling somebody would you please get this woman a bed. The name is Carter, C-A-R-T-E-R, yes, just like the president.

Parents and children alike need to understand that a child cannot be trained to stop wetting the bed. Parents often offer bribes or rewards in an attempt to get kids to not wet the bed and become frustrated when they fail.

You guys need to go to bed on time. Sit up.

My first class is about still in the bed and you guys are my most talkative bunch.
