Billie Shepherd on the impacts of bedwetting

8 in 10 parents believe bedwetting has impacted their child’s time at school – resulting in increased tiredness (43%), reluctance in attending school (39%) and reduced confidence (63%). Over a third (34%) of parents say their children experience bedwetting 1-3 times a week, with 90% confirming that it disrupts their child’s sleep in some way.

Research by Pampers Ninjamas also reveals that wetting the bed leaves children worried about attending sleepovers (54%), playdates (23%) and birthday parties (21%).

As part of Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week, the pyjama pant brand has hosted a Confidence Boosting Workshop to raise awareness of the positive impact that the programme can have on the emotional wellbeing of children.
