Treat your child with compassion, not punishment. Does your child play pretty hard during the day? He may just be too sleepy to wake up. You may want to take him to the pediatrician and have it checked out because it could be something physiologically wrong. You could try limiting the amounts of liquid he drinks after dinner. I don't mean to say don't let him have anything to drink at all after a certain time, I'm saying limit how much each time he gets thirsty. Always treat him with gentle reassurance that it is okay, we'll do better soon, okay? Never punish or hang his sheets out for all to see and cruel stuff like that. I went through a very sad childhood and I was afraid of the dark because my folks watched scary movies with me and my twin sister. We were actually frightened to get out of bed at night and a lot of the time, we just didn't wake up. We also were hyper and would play till the point of exhaustion. When our mother died suddenly when we were 11, we ended up in cruel foster homes who put plywood under our sheets and hung them out for all to see. We didn't stop. It only made it worse. Finally, my social worker got us out of there and we went to another foster home where our foster mom was very kind and understanding and didn't ever punish us. After 2 months there, we both started having dry nights and stopped. It was her gentle words of encouragement that made all the difference. Good luck.

It's an immature nervous system. Their brains don't get the "signal" to wake up like other kids and adults.
Usually it runs in families so mom or dad probably wet the bed, too. It will stop on it's own usually by age 12. Ask if they would like to use the big Pull Ups for kids or a small size of Depends.
They're embarrassed too and want to stop. Be patient.

Vagabond is a hundred% good. do no longer make THIS an argument. it can't be advantageous for you yet for the youngster who wets the mattress its a a hundred time worse. they awaken in it. get some stable-nights (must be Goodnites) this could help with the moist mattress and likewise supply the youngster some experience of dignity. in case you don't get them then a minimum of use a plastic/rubber sheet, to keep the matterss, as which will make the full room smell of urine. Ask the youngster to help beginning off the sheets, and placed them into the washer. somewhat some the time issues get appeared after on their very own, in case you're making this an argument, then it relatively is nearly a vicious circle, baby wets the mattress, you tell him/her off, starts to rigidity approximately wetting the mattress, wets the mattress.

There are lots of things you can buy. First, you'll want plastic sheets. Maybe an alarm that rings when your childs wet. or maybe you just need diapers until they are over wetting. Dont give your child drinks before bed, either. It might be a medical problem, also. Check with your doctor. If theres nothing wrong, you can still ask him what to do.
Good Luck!

Well my little sister is 11 now but when she was about that age what i made her do was wear pull ups and pretty much let her know she is old enough to know when she needs to go to the bathroom. Make it their responsability to remember to put it on befor they go to bed and if in the morning the bed is wet and they forgot to put it on, you make them do the laundry. I know it seems a little mean but in my sisters case it really helped in a couple different areas. weather it be learning responsability and also the weting area. they will remember they do not like cleaning up there own mess so eventualy it will start to work.

talk to them and see if they have or are having any problems and see if that has anything to do with it, perhaps if they are nervous about something. also take the child to a doctors the could have a urine infection or something wrong with there kidneys, or the child could be in a deep sleep and not wake up. try and let the child not drink for an hour before going to bed, also make sure they use the loo before he/she goes to sleep.

There may be something troubling him could be scared to get up or something else if so try night light.
it could be a bladder problem the doctor can help with that .
try also not to give him a drink before bed and ask him to go to the loo before bed as this will encourage to train the body clock to go before bed .
or he will grow out of it
hope this is helpful to you .
PS there is also a buzz thing you can get so as he dose it a buzzer gos off this may help (ask doctor)

Get advice from your school nurse, health visitor or doctor. And try to stay patient.
