I have a son who wet the bed until he was 12. Bedwetting is not something children can control, sometimes it's as simple as an immature bladder, other times can be more serious. Our son was required to bring down wet sheets, and make his bed, (starting at about age 9) only because he refused to wear a pull-up. Punishing children or making them feel ashamed doesn't accomplish anything. The urologist we spoke to, actually he spoke more with my son than me, he really wanted him to know that he had nothing to be ashamed of, He did make a point of telling Ds if he refused to wear a pull-up, then he needed to take responsibility for getting his wet things cleaned. He did prescribe meds for him, after making sure this was something Ds wanted to do. They worked most of the time, but there were still occassional accidents. Shelley
