The problem with wanting a three year old to use the toilet at night is that at that age, they don't have good control over peeing when asleep. You are going to have accidents. Boys are harder and may have accidents all the way into their preteens. If you don't mind getting them up in the middle of the night or cleaning up accidents and bedding, I wouldn't rush it and keep the Pampers on him for awhile longer. It isn't going to hurt him or you.

Usually at this age, they either sleep to heavy to wake up and know they have to go to the potty.
Or...
Developmentally they are not able to control thier bladder as well as an adult so accidents are bound to happen.
I find that my son (age 3) will stay dry if he wears underwear during the day because he does not want to get it wet. Maybe your son would be more conscious if he wore underwear at night. Just be sure to line the bed with some absorbent pads and keep some Febreeze on hand.

First of all is he toilet trained during the day? If so then try cutting back on his fluid intake before he goes to bed. Say like an hour to 2 hours. This had work for my son. If it still goes on after a week then you may just need to put pull ups on him at night. Some children can wet the bed up to age 12.

Cheer up! You can do this. You start out easy with your child and you will learn right along with him. I am really old and I had to learn all over again to help my children. It was exciting for me too. The biggest hurdle you have to face is choosing curriculum. There are so many different learning styles, philosophies and materials to choose from. Keep looking for other homeschoolers in your area, they will be an invaluable resource. There may be different ways to register your child with different benefits and requirements to maintain the legality of homeschooling where you live. Try to find a store that sells educational materials, they will also be a resource. Materials can also be purchased through catalogues. Gather as much information as you can. He is only four and you have a long road ahead of you to plan for. Good Luck. Sorry I can't be more specific; I am in Canada and laws are probably different. Remember. You can do this!

I have two boys, myself (ages 10 & 12). The way I potty-trained them was to first, get rid of the fluids before bedtime. I was very strict at not letting the boys get a drink after 6pm.
Secondly, I had to work them into a routine, at night, where I would wake up, go wake up my son, walk him to the bathroom, and sit him down. I would do this, sometimes up to three times a night, depending on whether or not I was successful the first time in getting him to use the toilet at night.
Thirdly, what I tried, on my second son, because he was a bit more difficult to potty-train, was during the day, I would give him a drink of water/milk and wait about 30 minutes, and then walk him to the bathroom, and make him sit on the toilet, until he went. After several times of succeeding, I found it easier to potty-train at night, because my youngest son was used to going, during the day, and he didn't fuss at night. He knew the procedure and it worked out fine. The only thing I would have to stress, is that you gain a LOT of 'patience', because to have patience, makes it easier on the child to potty-train, without feeling pressured, rushed or uncomfortable. I had to almost turn it into a game, but when you're up at 4am, waiting for you son to go to the bathroom, it's a bit more difficult to be all playful and encouraging, other than, "Okay..c'mon, now...bring on the potty-works!...Let's go, now....okay...we're almost there, buddy!'....(as you're half asleep, trying hard to be encouraging! Ha ha ha
Once he gets into a routine, though, it'll all fall into place!

Leave a night light on for him and tell him a few times every day that his body is very clever and will tell him when it needs to go to the toilet - even at night ! Make it a game .... :-)
Worked with my little boy ! Good luck !

My daughter she is nearly 3 still wears nappies to bed. It is hard for them to stay dry at night . They haven't developed the skill yet to stay dry at night. He is only 3 don't rush him, its not going to hurt if he wears nappies during the night. Telling him to call you during the night if he needs to go to the toilet he wouldn't do as when you get the urge to go he will just go. Let him use nappies at night it will not hurt him. He will stay dry at night when he gets abit older.

three still seems a little young so he just might now be ready to do that yet. if you really think he is maybe you could try the pull up that stay wet or that feel cool so that he starts to learn to wake up when he has to pee.
