Causes and eight steps you can take to help. Withholding liquids is generally not a good idea. Bedwetting is a problem of sleeping too deeply to heed the call of a full bladder, and it's extremely common. If you haven't taken your son to the doctor and asked about this problem, you should...just to make sure there aren't any urinary tract problems.

The medical name for not being able to control your pee is enuresis, sometimes known simply as involuntary urination.
Too many kids suffer from this, in fact, about one out of every 100 teens wets the bed. Most of them outgrow the problem, though.
There are ways to treat bedwetting, depending on what is causing it. If an illness is found to be the cause, which is not very common, then you need to take the child to see a doc.
Try behaviour approach like decreasing the amount of fluids they drink before going to bed. Foods that can irritate the bladder include coffee, tea, chocolate, and sodas or other carbonated beverages containing caffeine.
Some people find that rewarding the kids for waking up dry also works.

Wetting the bed at this age may occur for different reasons, he might be scared and he might be having bad dreams. You have to figure out why he wets the bed and then you can stop it.

1st off, at four that probably is not unusual. You need to help him out, cut his liquids after a certain each day. Wake him up before you go to bed and have him go to the rest room. If you wake during the night, wake him and have him go to the restroom. He will get better at this as he gets older.

if he is a little heavy he needs to lose weight, cut down on salt and sugar, no drinking after supper time, plenty of water during day, bathroom before bed and about an hour and a half into his sleep get him up to go to bathroom, then about three hours after that, after a while he will start getting up by his self! then he should just grow out of this.

Nothing to drink for an hour before bedtime.
Try Goodnights training pants.
Reward him when he stays dry.
Assure him that he can get up and go in the middle of the night.
Give him a nightlight on his path to the bathroom.

Put him to bed three hours after dinner, and ice chips only in the interim.
