Some people will wonder what it is like to be the parent of a child with bladder emptying problems. Some will ask you, while others will wonder in silence. How much should you tell as a parent, and what should you tell? Should you for example tell people about catheterisation?
The answers are as many as the questions. Naturally, it is up to you to decide who to tell and what you feel comfortable about sharing. Even small children have a right to integrity, privacy and respect.
Sometimes you will need to explain, especially to the person who in some manner will be participating in the procedure of emptying your child's bladder. This section explores who they may be and their roles.
