[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn’t unusual.  Most aren’t, but plenty are.

I worked at boys sleepaway camp.  A handful of  boys ages 8-11 every year would consistently struggle with this.  [/quote]

I’ve babysat for several kids around this age who were in the same situation. My only suggestion is if they want to read or  play a game in bed before they actually go to sleep that you remind them they should try getting up and using the bathroom a second time. [/quote]

There is also a medicine that can help, DDAVP.  It isn’t a long term solution, but might keep the dry for sleepovers or a summer camp.  [/quote]

Medication doesn’t always work the same for every child and I personally would avoid it until they are much older and they’ve had an opportunity to outgrow it naturally. That’s just my opinion.[/quote]

We used the medication when he slept at someone else’s house and it worked.  He outgrew it naturally.  It was symptomatic relief until the child outgrows it.  [/quote]
