I would agree with what Jeffrey has said may i congratulate him in the way he has put things over in a most sensitive way!while young i was a bed wetter until aged 16 it did go away for me also but i grew to tolerate it but was ridiculed for it by my peers ! them days there were no child size nappies or pullups or bed alarms if there were then it was not within the budget of my parents! so i had to suffer today children dont have to endure these indignities yes it does effect self esteem ! because the child feels that it will never end and that they have no control over things ! it can also be demoralizing as well!. best wishes to you and your daughter!.
