Well, there is a hormone in the form of a nasal spray that your doctor can prescribe.
Please understand that it is not your kids fault and he is probably not doing it on purpose. There is a hormone that regulates your urge to go. This is what allows most of us to sleep for 8 hours without needing to relieve ourselves. In a significant percentage of young people this hormone is not yet being regulated properly by their bodies. The result is bed wetting.
Fortunately, modern science can produce an artificial version of this hormone that is fairly effective in treating the condition.

Like the others have said quit fluids after say 7-7:30 and also watch how much die red 40 he is ingesting , for some reason the die causes boys to wet the bed . my nephew was a big kool aid drinker and his mom had a heck of a time getting him night trained i told her about the red 40 and she cut his kool aid and he quit. if that does not help then maybe he has a medical issue that needs to be treated by a doc. I wish you all the best and good luck.

It depends on if they have any activities going on this summer if they do then 9pm for the 10yr old and 10pm for the 12yr old. You do want to make them at different times to give the 12yr old the frame of mind that he is becoming a young man so you trusts him to stay up later. If they don't have any activities then 10pm for the 10 yr old and 11 pm for the 12 yr old. You don't want to let them stay up to late because then when summer is over and school is back in session it will be harder to get them back in their routine.

Sometimes when children are wetting the bed it is not their fault. There bladders grow differently and his might just be taking its time. you can his Dr about this. Its a a fairly common problem.You can try limiting his liquid intake or before you go to bed wake him and have him go to the bathroom. He maybe a heavy sleeper and is not recongnizing the sign that he has to go.

He is older and probably a bit embarrassed when it happens. They make something now called a bedwetting alarm from what I understand they work wonders. It attaches to his underwear and at the first sign of moistures an alarm goes off waking him up to get up and use the potty. Check out the link:

Take him to see a urologist and have an ultrasound done and a urinalysis.
Take him to a chiropractor to be adjusted.
Start him on DHA supplements.

He's probably afraid of "growing up" and wants to stay "mommy's little baby". Pamper and baby him, sometimes. Also, negotiate a deal. If he makes sure not to wet the bed, you will buy him (whatever it is you decide on with him).

if he just recently started doing this again also check for ear infections. if he's having them on a regular basis he may think they are normal and thats one sign of them
