[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My almost 6 years old still wears a pull up at night or he will wake up soaking WET. We don't know any kid his age that is still wearing diapers/pullups at night.  Child said he has tried but still "I pee alot at night, mom. I can't get up to go to the bathroom. I tried many times, mom. I will fall out of the bed if I try."  And this is a kid that everyone says he's so well trained in manners, eating, dressing being nice. But, that has nothing to do with biological functions. 
I blame it on the dumb loft bed which is high and hard to get off at night in the dark. And DH always encourage him to drink enough water...at NIGHT before bed! 
But, it's not the end of the world.

My son did this for WAAAAYYYYY too long. He's special needs, but still - there was no reason for it (but that was why there was hand wringing about it by parents). 
Proof - one night I told him he could have x number of dollars if he didn't pee in his pullup/pee in his bed in the morning. Woke up dry - now and forever. 
He likes money - he loves to go shop for something. Find out what your son likes & give him some each morning he wakes up dry once you decide you've had enough
and he's ready (and, um, get a night light. And how about some simple stick on lights for the floor to light the way to the bathroom? Could be kind of cool - would look
like an airplane aisle...) - you only have to do this a few times and then they just wake up dry, it doesn't last forever (the bribery). [/quote]
