[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to toilet train for nighttime, did you just skip that part of the process?[/quote]

WTF are you talking about?  I did nothing to toilet train my kids at night.  We toilet trained them, and then they naturally stopped peeing at night.  Which is what happens as most bodies mature a bit.  For some kids, it's takes a long time.  There is no "training", only mitigation straegies.  The kid is asleep.  It's not a conscious choice that they are making.  Shame does not fix it!  Surprise![/quote]

You don’t shame them you teach them just like you do during the daytime. [/quote]

Please tell me how you teach a child to wake up to pee.  It it quite literally a biological feedback thing that you can not TRAIN.  It has to mature.  You can try to help (waking them up, limiting liquids) but I am going to assume by 7 years old these parents have tried QUITE A FEW THINGS.  Time is often the best thing here.  And it sucks and it's hard.  But teaching a kid who is ASLEEP and is not making a choice is pretty silly in my book.  Like, how did you teach your kids to stop having nightmares?  [/quote]
