Abstract
Children's well-being is greatly impacted by emotional and behavioral issues during childhood. A prominent behavioral problem observed during middle childhood is nocturnal enuresis, among other behavioral problems such as stuttering, pica, sleep disturbances, and enuresis, encopresis, and tics. A study was conducted to evaluate whether behavioral modification therapy can reduce nocturnal enuresis among children aged 5 to 10 years living with their primary caregivers. By using judgmental sampling techniques, 70 children were chosen as pre- and post-test participants in a pre-experimental design. Statistical analyses were conducted both descriptively and inferentially. There was a significant difference between mean scores pre- and post-assessment following behavioral modification therapy (p<0.001). Following this therapy, children's nocturnal enuresis levels decreased significantly. Furthermore, the study revealed that pre-assessment scores of nocturnal enuresis correlated significantly with selected demographic variables, including the child's age, gender, and previous enuresis experience in siblings. As a result, behavioral modification therapy appears to be effective at ameliorating levels of nocturnal enuresis in children. In order to promote improved well-being and quality of life for affected children and their families, early intervention strategies tailored to address behavioral problems in childhood are critical
