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.

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.

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-' keted under the Smart Lid line include Cucumber Melon, Butter Cookies, Mulberry-Almond, and Delicious Apple.
