The physio pretty much told me everything I told you. She also sold us the alarm (which is a Malem BTW not a Malm)
We only saw her twice and the rest of the time she rang us for progress reports so she wasn't expensive.
It might be worth finding a continence physio near you because they will make sure that you are following a program that is tailored for your DS and show him how to use the alarm.
I had that alarm as a kid and it didn't work for me... only time worked for me. I was on medication, had ultrasounds, restricted fluids, alarms etc. Parents used praise and shame. But it just took time and clicked when I was 12. Sorry if this isn't encouraging .
I'll see if I can find someone then to talk to about this. Actually, random thought, I have nursing placement with the school nurse programme soon so I will ask them for a physio.
Thanks Clover, that's what I was hoping would happen and I've been told normally around the age of 7 but we are getting close so I was starting to worry.
Maruschke it's good to know time will likely eventually work, thanks for your input
