The American Academy of Family Physicians says bed-wetting isn't from naughty behavior or laziness. According to the academy, there may be a medical problem behind the bed-wetting child's behavior, such as:

Having a family history of bed wetting. Having difficulty waking from sleep. Being under physical or emotional stress. Having a urinary tract infection. Experiencing slow development of the central nervous system. Having a hormonal imbalance. Having an abnormality that affects the spinal cord, the urethral valve in boys or the ureter in girls or boys. Having a small bladder. Read more at www.healthfinder.gov
