"When my six-year-old son came to me and asked if he could wear nappies again I smiled, said no, and life went on. When my ten-year-old son once again asked if he could wear nappies despite the fact he hadn't wet his bed since he was 4, I again said no and moved on, thinking nothing about it. When I found wet nappies in my thirteen-year-old son's bedroom, I realised there was a problem to deal with. My first decision was to panic. My second was to seek a therapist. When that was useless, I decided to seek real information - and I found it. This book is part our journey and part guidebook for other mothers (and fathers) who may be facing a similar situation. I hope it helps."
