[quote=Anonymous]At age 8, if your kid wants to be done with pull-ups, you could try a bed wetting alarm. We had great success with a similarly aged kid. There are some pretty expensive models out there but we used a reasonably priced one from Amazon. Kid was consistently dry after 10 days of using the alarm. I remember looking up some studies on the subject and went with whatever duration used in the largest one that I found, so we continued using for a month or so after. There have been no relapses since, kid is 10 now and reliably wakes up to use the bathroom if needed overnight. At first you need someone to sleep in the same room as the child, so that you can haul them to the bathroom as soon as the alarm goes off. I believe this is what trains the brain to wake up to a full bladder. These devices are understandably designed to not have a snooze function, you need to manually reset it, which could be difficult for a kid woken suddenly from sleep. [/quote]
