[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pediatrician told us that they try to have kids night-trained by 6 but many kids are older, particularly boys.

Contrary to popular belief (some popular Tory training books included), you can’t truly night train without the child being ready for it. And you can’t “make them” ready. It’s hormonal (and genetic) whether they can both make it through the night and be able to wake up in time to recognize what’s going on.

Your kid being 5 and not night trained is still very much within a typical range. You can encourage him and try without the pull ups for a week but you may be driving everyone insane for no reason if he truly isn’t ready for it yet.[/quote]

Ugh sorry this has typos, am on phone. This guide is very useful btw:

The most important thing to know is waking your kid up in the night to pee or focusing intensely on night training or punishing for “bedwetting” is NOT helpful. Some books like Oh Crap push a night training method that many doctors do not like at all and lead to unrealistic expectations for night training. It’s really entirely different from day training and while some kids can get both in short order, it is very common for it to take years to be night trained. Boys are more affected. [/quote]
