Bladder Basics is an engaging, informative, and most importantly, fun video series that teaches children and their families about bladder health. That’s right, your bladder - the part of your body that makes pee – needs us to follow healthy bladder habits to keep it happy. Each video is ~10 minutes long and covers a different topic related to bladder health.  

Target Audience:

1. Kids: Ages 5-10 years with or without bladder problems.

2. Parents and Caregivers: Watch with your child to support your child’s healthy habits.

3. Family Members and Friends: Feel free to watch. There’s always something new to learn!

Bladder Basics is coming in 2026 — stay tuned for updates.
