Eight in 10 parents say bedwetting affects kids' school attendance and confidence
Eight in 10 parents believe bedwetting has impacted their child's time at school – resulting in increased tiredness, reluctance in attending school and reduced confidence. A poll of 1,000 parents of children aged four to seven who have wet the bed in the last 12 months found it has had a negative effect on the emotional wellbeing of 59 per cent of affected kids. And it’s left them more likely to experience tiredness in class (43 per cent) and express a reluctance in attending school (39 per cent), while 63 per cent are less confident at school as a result of bedwetting. The research was commissioned by Pampers Ninjamas [https://www.ninjamas-pyjama-pants.pampers.co.uk/], which is continuing its mission to build confidence in children with its Back to School with a Boost schools programme and Confidence Building Journal. Paediatrician, TV presenter and author Dr Ranj, who has partnered with the pyjama pant brand, said: “School and social activities play an indisputable role in a child’s development, not to mention the contribution they make to their confidence and wellbeing.”
