II. The Procedure adopted in previous years has been
largely adhered to at each clinic.
This includes Urinalysis, History of the Enuresis,
physical examination; considerable time is devoted
to talking to and gaining the confidence of the child,
and finally advice is given to the parent, usually
through the child by clear direction as to routine and
charting and finally the taking of medicaments if
indicated.
As has been proved in previous years, suggestions
made to the child, but in the presence of the mother,
have always been acted upon more faithfully by the
parents.
