We have 9 month old twins and he started a new pre-k 4 months ago which he loves, but nothing else is new in the house. Any answers as to why and how to get him to stop? Thanks in advance!

he must be experiencing some stress in his life....yes kids do experience stress.....you need to figure out what it is.....and having twins that young is new cause your son is still adjusting....mine took about one year to adjust to his little brother....as for the bed wetting....he will grow out of it....don't force him cause that will add more stress to the stress that he is already experiencing.....

Don't jump to abuse or any other terrible things right off. He could be going through a growth spurt. Sometimes fully trained children can had accidents at night because there bodies are tired from being 4 and from growing, plus it takes the whole body time to catch up with a growth spurt. The body is asking for more liquids than the bladder can handle. Add to that a nice deep sleep and you have a wet bed. Sometimes the answer is just time. Don't make a big deal about it. Make sure that you find a little one on one time for him everyday so that he can talk to you in case there is something more going on and if you want to cut down on the amount of laundry get him some good-nights.

#1. It's not uncommon at her age. #2. I'll bet something happened and it may be psychological. It may be a good idea to get her in to see a therapist to see if she needs counseling. They have great ways of working with kids these days that do not turn the kids into someone needing therapy forever. #3. Get her some Goodnites underwear. Eventually, she'll stop. Praise her every time she wakes up dry. Find out if something is wrong with the bathroom that she doesn't like (does the toilet seat pinch her? Is she afraid to walk down the hall in the dark? is it too cold?). You might consider getting her a potty chair for her room for a while. Also, do not talk about her problem in front of her and others. And don't let the other kids make fun of her. You'll do more harm than good with that. Hang in there! Good luck! :)

Take him to the pediatrician for a check up. Sometimes this happens if he's getting a bladder infection. The doctor will have advice that is appropriate for your child.
By all means do not punish him for it. He's not doing it on purpose.
Twin babies and a new preschool could very well be what caused this to happen, but it could also be health related. Don't delay in making a doctor's appointment.

sometimes just change, good or bad can do this
he may see you changing the twins and want that attention back
his bladder may not be growing as fast as the rest of him...no big deal yet.
withhold liquids an hour b4 bed time,
i used to get up a couple times in the night and take my son, he did the same thing. he was 1/2 assleep and never knew. he finally stopped on his own.
if it is really bad or smells really strong, u may need to visit a urologist. good luck

I could just be that he's preoccupied and forgets or he's so tired from being the brother of twins that he's sleeping really soundly. Limit his water after dinner and you may want to wake him and have him go to the bathroom before you go to bed.

I know some children who suddenly begin bed wetting or other unusual behavior are possible victims of molestation. Don't be upset by what I am saying it happens. If you haven't talked to him about bad touching then you should since he is exposed to a public now that he wasn't before.

You need to have him checked for a bladder infection.
