Written in a child-friendly tone that mirrors a one-on-one conversation with Dr. Bennett, this self-help guide is designed to assist children in conquering bedwetting.

Full of practical tips and a specific program for overcoming this embarrassing condition, this guide covers topics such as waking-up practice, bedwetting alarms, and how to handle sleepovers. Cartoon characters Bladder Man (a superhero) and Nephron put a humorous spin on the subject and help explain the causes of bedwetting, and numerous examples of others that share the condition show children that they are not the only ones who are affected. Simple activities keep children engaged and help them grasp how their urinary system functions, while Q&A sections provide more detailed information for parents.
