DOBSON
From page jB
Question: I get so
angry at my kid for
doing this. Every morn
ing I have to strip and
wash his bedding and
pajamas. I told him
last week that I would
spank him if it hap
pened again. Do you
think that will help?
Dr. Dobson: Most cer
tainly not! Unless your
child’s bed-wetting is an
act of defiance occurring
after he is awake, which
I doubt, his enuresis is an
involuntary act for which
he is not responsible.
Punishment under those
circumstances is danger
ous and unfair. Your son is
humiliated by waking up
wet anyway, and the older
he gets, the more fool
ish he will feel about it.
The bed wetter needs
reassurance and patience
from parents, and they
should be there for him or
her. They would be wise to
try to conceal the embar
rassing problem from
those who would laugh at
him. Even good-natured
humor within the family
associated with bed wet
ting is often very painful.
Question: Aside from
medical help, what sug
gestions do you have
for dealing with this
problem?
Dr. Dobson: There
are other remedies that
sometimes work, such as
electronic devices that
ring a bell and awaken
the child when the urine
completes an electrical
circuit. This conditions
a child to associate the
feeling of needing to uri
nate with the bell that
awakens him. I have seen
some dramatic success
stories where “hard-core”
bed wetters were cured
within a few weeks using
such a device. Trying
it certainly can’t hurt.
Until the problem is
solved, I hope you can
keep your frustrations at
a minimum. A smile some
times helps. I received a
letter from a mother who
wrote down her 3-year-old
son’s bedtime prayer. He
said, “Now I lay me down
to sleep. I close my eyes, I
wet the bed.”
Dr. Dobson is found
er and chairman of the
board of the nonprofit
organization Focus on
the Family, P.O. Box 444,
Colorado Springs, CO.
80903; or www.family.org.

auto gels
Special to the Journal
WARNER ROBINS - If
the overpowering fragrance
of your car’s air freshener
makes you gasp and choke
in the heat of the day, take
heart. A Georgia-based
manufacturer of household,
commercial and industrial
cleaning products has intro
duced a patented, automat
ic open-and-close feature
on the lid of its new auto
air freshener that prevents
olfactory overload.
The lid of Clean Control
Corporation’s Mega Gel air
freshener for closets, RVs,
cars, boats and other small
spaces, features a metal
strip that bends to auto
matically close the unit in
extreme heat, eliminating
an unpleasant blast of fra
grance and rapid fragrance
loss.
The two-inch unit is
designed to stand upright
and reopens automatically
as the temperature inside
the enclosed area cools.

preserves the fragrance in
hot temperatures, the new
air freshener, according to
a release from the corpora

lasts as long as other ver

An additional patented
feature on the product is
new polymer technology
that packs fragrance into
an ultra-thin layer of gel.
According to Clean
Control founder, Stephen
Davison, the new air fresh
ener’s thin polymer layer
is heavily concentrated,
offering the same amount
of fragrance as competitive
water-based gel units of the
same size.
Available fragrances mar-'
