Sue Atkins The Parenting Expert
Author of Raising Happy Children for Dummies

Let me start by being honest with you...

When this book was first published in September 2009, I could not be 100% certain that the techniques that I had been using successfully for many years with my clients, would easily translate into a system for parents to use with their own children.

But my frustration at seeing growing numbers of children (through no fault of their own) locked in a repetitive pattern of bedwetting, fuelled me on to at least try to pass the message on. My gut instincts were that bedwetting is not a problem that children simply have to put up with, until they grow out of it, as so many of the experts would have us believe there are solutions.

Stop Bedwetting was launched in September 2009 with an interview on BBC Radio 4s Womans Hour and the response, whilst positive, was also one of scepticism. Is hypnotherapy really safe to use with children? Could it be possible to solve a problem as difficult as bedwetting, through a simple book? And wasnt I somehow being unprofessional in offering parents hope, when we all know that in fact no-one can solve this problem and you just have to sit it out?

Well, I am pleased to report that over two years of research and results, can now speak for itself. Sales of this book now run into the thousands and children from all parts of the world have successfully fixed their bedwetting habits by using it.

Each day I receive emails from grateful parents not only in the UK, but also the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, South America, all parts of Europe and Scandinavia.

Im now regularly asked to train other Practitioners in my methods and hypnotherapists as far away as India, are adopting my system for use with their own clients.

My own survey in which 165 parents took part, (results on page 45) showed that over 70% of children achieved dry nights following this system and 85% of parents would recommend this system to others.

Ive now used all the feedback that Ive received from parents and children and updated the Stop Bedwetting system to make it better than ever before.

And, Im delighted to be able to say that so many more people parents, GPs, Consultant Paediatricians - are now acknowledging the value of using a behavioural approach such as this one, to solve bedwetting, rather than resorting to the use of medication and drugs as has been the case for many years.

My system incorporates the latest techniques and success strategies from the fields of hypnotherapy and NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming). People are often surprised when I tell them that I regularly see children for hypnotherapy sessions, for whilst were used to hearing about hypnotherapy helping adults quit smoking or lose weight, its less well known that these same techniques can be used very safely and effectively with children.

These techniques complement a childs natural development and encourage those vital mind and body connections to be made. Once these are established, theres no looking back youll have dry nights forever.

Ive been able to develop this system as a result of being trained by three of the worlds experts in the field of success and changework. Collectively, Richard Bandler (the co-creator of NLP), Paul McKenna and Michael Neill have enabled thousands of people to change their lives for the better. Ive worked alongside them since 2004 and studied their methods in detail.
