[quote=Anonymous][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]

you aren't' training them to wake up to pee. You are training them to not wake up and pee in their bed. They are often more aware than you think. Without the diaper safety net they quickly learn that peeing in bed means getting wet and having to wake up to change the sheets.

I posted above that we trained our son. I also had the disclaimer that he would wake up when he wet the bed. if he was truly sleeping through it I don't know that it would have worked. [/quote]
