- 80% of parents of children aged 4-7 who experience bedwetting say that it has an impact on their child’s time at school, with 63% of those surveyed saying that their child feels less confident at school as a result.
- With parents across the nation expressing the need for materials which help them to support with the emotional impact that bedwetting can have on children, Pampers Ninjamas is continuing its mission to boost confidence in children aged 4-7 across UK schools following the launch of its “Back to School with a Boost” schools’ programme.
- Since the launch 6 months ago, 600+ schools have signed up and it has reached over 65,000 children nationally.
- To mark Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week (3rd – 9th February 2025), Pampers Ninjamas is continuing to partner with Paediatric Specialist Dr Ranj and Childhood Psychologist Dr Kimberley Bennett to host a Confidence Boosting Workshop at St Robert Southwell RC Primary School in North London to further raise awareness of the Confidence-Boosting initiative.
New research conducted by Pampers Ninjamas has revealed that 8 in 10 parents believe that bedwetting has impacted their child’s time at school, with 63% of those surveyed agreeing that their child experiences less confidence at school as a result.
The study of 1,000 parents of children aged 4-7 years old who experience bedwetting also confirmed that bedwetting hasn’t had a positive effect on their child’s emotional wellbeing (59%).
What’s more, the survey also confirms that the impact of bedwetting isn’t just limited to a child’s confidence at school, with 84% of parents confirming that it has impacted their child’s self-confidence in general, revealing that their child appears worried to attend social activities, such as sleepovers (54%), due to bedwetting.
Paediatrician, TV presenter and author Dr Ranj said: “School and social activities play an indisputable role in a child’s development, not to mention the contribution they make to their confidence and wellbeing. It is therefore essential that parents and carers feel equipped to help support their children during periods of bedwetting to ensure no child misses out.”
Further findings (67% of parents surveyed who feel there is a stigma surrounding bedwetting) confirm that there is a demand for better educational materials around bedwetting, with 80% highlighting a need for more resources to specifically support with the emotional impact that bedwetting can have on their child.
That’s why Pampers Ninjamas is continuing their mission to build confidence in children with their Back to School with a Boost schools programme and Confidence Building Journal in schools across the UK. Since the launch six months ago, 600+ schools have signed up and it has reached over 65,000 children nationally. The programme has seen the roll out of Confidence Kits featuring lesson plans and materials which enable teachers to carry out wellbeing-boosting activities in their classrooms.
In support of Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week (3rd – 9th February 2025), Pampers Ninjamas has continued to partner with Paediatric Specialist Dr Ranj and Child Psychologist expert Dr Kimberley Bennett to host a Confidence Boosting Workshop at St Robert Southwell RC Primary School in North London on 3rd February 2025 to raise awareness of the positive impact that the programme can have on the emotional wellbeing of children. During the event, the experts shared practical advice for parents around supporting children when it comes to school, managing emotions and bedwetting. Pupils also took part in mindfulness and craft activities designed to boost children’s mood and resilience.
Dr Kimberley said: “I am so proud to be partnering with Pampers Ninjamas to help parents and carers to create a safe, non-judgemental space for communicating with their child around topics including bedwetting. Ensuring that children feel supported at every step of their developmental journey can have a hugely positive impact on their wellbeing”.
The brand also continues its partnership with celebrity ambassador and TV mum, Billie Faiers, to help raise awareness of the Confidence-Boosting initiative: “Having first-hand experience in our family of bedwetting and knowing the impact that it can have on a child’s confidence, I am incredibly passionate about continuing to partner with Pampers Ninjamas to help children to wake up feeling more prepared and positive before heading off to school.”
