Before your child listens
- Choose a calm, comfortable environment where your child can settle quietly — ideally at bedtime.
- Keep the listening experience calm and positive. Avoid using the session as a consequence or under pressure, as this is most helpful when approached with warmth and no expectation.
- Headphones are optional. The session works equally well through a speaker placed nearby.
- You may wish to stay with your child as they listen, particularly the first time.
- Do not play this session while travelling in a vehicle, cycling, or in any situation where your child needs to remain alert.
- This audio does not replace medical advice. If bedwetting is new, painful, more frequent than usual or causing your child distress, please consult your GP or health visitor before or alongside use of this session.
Frequently asked questions
What age is this suitable for?
This session is designed for children aged approximately 5 to 12 years, though you know your child best. Bedwetting is common — it affects a significant number of children into their early school years and sometimes beyond — and this session is written with sensitivity for children at a range of stages. If you have any concerns about suitability, please speak with your GP or health visitor.
Will this guarantee dry nights?
No. This session makes no promise of dry nights, and we would encourage you to be cautious of any product that does. Bedwetting has many contributing factors, including developmental readiness, and progress happens in its own time. This session is designed to support your child's confidence, calm and positive feelings around bedtime — which can be a helpful part of the wider picture, but is not a medical solution.
Can my child listen every evening?
Yes. Your session remains available in My Sage Space for as long as your entitlement is active. Many families find that building this session into a regular, pressure-free bedtime routine helps the calm, reassuring feelings become a natural part of the evening.
Should I discuss the audio with my child first?
That is entirely your judgement as a parent or carer. Some families introduce it simply as a calming bedtime story, without drawing attention to the specific focus of the session. Others prefer to explain it gently and positively. There is no single right approach — follow what feels natural and comfortable for your child and your family.
When should I speak to a GP or healthcare professional?
Please consult your GP or health visitor if bedwetting is new or has started after a dry period, if it is accompanied by pain, discomfort or unusual frequency, if your child is significantly distressed by it, or if you have any other concerns about your child's health or development. A healthcare professional can assess any physical causes and advise on appropriate support. This session is not a substitute for that.
