[quote=Anonymous]Our 7 yr old DD often has nighttime regressions during transition periods. Thus she has had two nighttime accidents in the last week. But we've never considered going back to pull ups because (1) she'd really hate it and it would feel like punishment instead of incentive and (2) she can go months between accidents even if when she has accidents she often has several in a row.

We address by being extra vigilant about bathroom visits before sleep (after accidents we will often have her visit the bathroom a second time after reading in bed and just before lights out just to really clear out her bladder) and being careful about liquids after 7pm.

I will also often wake her 15 minutes early on subsequent mornings just to see if she needs to go. If she says no I let her go back to sleep or at least hang out in bed but sometimes she gets up and goes. Often her accidents are happening right before getting out of bed -- I think she's just more tired than usual due to school starting and it's making it harder for her to wake up enough to go to the bathroom first thing.[/quote]
