[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 460785, member: 11791"] Chris - if your parents think this is "normal"... then - whatever you are dealing with runs in the family! And no, you don't have to sit there and take it. There is help. On that front... you'll find members of this board will tend to be behind you. Sleep - yes, your kids have sleep issues. But its not a [U]quantity[/U] issue, its a [U]quality[/U] issue. If they fall asleep in less than 10 minutes, they have a sleep problem. If they sleep so soundly that they can't wake to go to the washroom... they have sleep problems. We were there - for years. Doctors would not believe us. We found the motor skills fatigue issue... which was part of it, but didn't solve it. Lately... medications for other reasons have returned difficult child to quality sleep, and the difference is growing every day. There are ways around the bedwetting problem... but don't bother with the "alarm" concept. Cutting way back on fluids after supper helps. For some kids, it is partly caused by an intollerance for milk protein - try taking them off milk for a week or two - ALL milk products - and see if it makes a difference. It should be noticable, if this is a problem - if you don't see any difference, then milk protein intollerance gets ruled out. You are wise to NOT be making a big deal about it, because obviously they are not doing this on purpose. [/QUOTE]
