Kids sometime go through this. Bed-wetting is rarely related to a medical problem. Gaining bladder control is a normal developmental process that takes longer in some children. Eventually she will grow out of it. but for now you can help her out by not letting her drink any thing before she goes to bed. Also try waking her in the middle of the night and have her go to the bathroom. You can even put am alarm clock next to her bed that will wake her up so she can go on her own without feeling embarrassed. Bed wetting is an embarrassing and uncontrollable thing for a child. The best thing to do is be understanding and not make fun of her.

If a child continues to wet the bed after the age of six your sister may need to seek evaluation and diagnosis by the family doctor or a children's specialist (pediatrician). Sometimes it tends to run in families. Sometimes bed-wetting can be caused by a serious medical problem like diabetes, sicklecell anemia, or epilepsy. Occasionally a doctor will determine that the problem is serious enough to require treatment. Standard treatments for bed-wetting include bladder training exercised, motivational therapy,

This is a true medical condition, not one to be made fun of. In some kids, the bladder muscles develop much slower. It will eventually go away. Meantime it never hurts to have her checked by a doctor just to be on the safe side. also, support her, don't tease or allow her to be teased. Suggest things like adult diapers or "pullups" which can be worn discreetly under her night clothes. I have heard that "Keggle" excercises can help. This is when you tense and release the muscles. The same ones you use when you have to urinate, but you can't get to the toilet right away. You feel them tense as you strain not to go. Just tense and release them 10 times or so, several times a day.
Good luck

She may need to see a urologist. This is a special doctor that helps with problems related to "peeing." I believe there are many reasons for bedwetting and a urologist can help find out if there is some medical problem that is causing it and then the doctor can help her with the problem. If there is not a medical reason for it, then there are other ways a doctor can help her learn why she is wetting the bed and help her learn to control it.

Your sister needs to see a doctor or specialist in this field and soon. She may have emotional problems and or physical problems too. She needs help and support, not ridiculing or being made fun of. Be understanding and comfort her, while she tries to get this matter sorted.

Adult or Youth Sized Diapers at night, or goodnites in her size would probably help reduce the bedding she is wetting on at night...I bet it must be tiring haveing to always wash the bedding. so I would suggest the above.

Perhaps she needs to seek the professional help of a physician.

I'm sure your sister is happy you're telling everyone she pees the bed.
