It is not much of a problem. You should make sure that they don't drink lots of fluids before bed. You can also try waking them in the middle of the night to use the toilet so that they would develop the habit and not wet the bed.

it all depends on the age of the chid. if there under five then its alright but over that can be problematic. i would start by asking the kid what would make them more comfortable. they make night time underwear for that sort of thing but if that fails and the child goes over the age if twelve it could be a bladder problem and you should see a doctor. also make sure its not painnful for them to use the bathroom because that could be a bladder infection and you should see a docter in that siuation as well. best of luck!

What does it mean if you keep wetting the bed at the age thirteen?
Well, it's a certain possibility that the relationship has absolutely nothing to do with why you wet the bed. Bed wetting is completely normal, and bed wetting will sometimes tend to stick with some teens, and follow them into their adulthood. Or perhaps you just had a bed dream that you don't remember
You are ten and still am not potty trained?
Some children have bed-wetting issues late into childhood but at age ten this is rare. Sometimes toilet issues are related to urinary problems. It is best to see a paediatrician or a urologist if a child is still not potty trained at age ten to rule out any medical problems.
When is a Bedwetting Alarm Needed?
Enuresis is a repeated inability to control urination (wetting). Use of the term is usually limited to describing individuals old enough to be expected to exercise such control. Involuntary urination is also known as urinary incontinence and can occurwith both children and adults. Enuresis is often used to describe wetting by children who cannot control their urination, and beyond an age when bladder control is normally expected. This incontinence is frequently noted when the child is asleep and not conscious. Most children have control (continence) of their bladder by the age of two, but this can extend to a later age. Many experts recommend that a child who is five years old and still incontinent may merit further intervention to help develop bladder control, especially when the child is asleep and the wetting problem likely to occur.

Is wetting the bed embarrassing?
It depends at what age we're looking at here. Generally the age for stopping bed wetting is 7, however some people are known to do it later on in life due to bullying or being scared. The older you get, the more embarrassing it appears to other people. This will happen until you reach an age of 68-70, then people will accept it more. (You are less likely to control your bladder)

Urination - bed wetting?
DefinitionBed wetting (or enuresis) is when children wet the bed more than twice per month after age 5 or 6.Alternative NamesEnuresis - bedwettingConsiderationsChildren develop complete control over their bladder at different ages. Nighttime dryness is usually the last stage of toilet learning.Most children who haven't achieved bladder control have at least one parent or first-degree relative who also had a problem with bed wetting. Knowing this often helps the child feel less stressed about the situation.Around 7% of children still wet their beds at age 5, only 3% do so by age 10, and 2% by age 15. Only 1 out of 100 children who wet their bed continue to have a problem in adulthood.Common CausesChildren who were dry for at least 6 months and then started wetting again have secondary enuresis. There are many reasons why children wet the bed after being fully toilet trained. These include:DiabetesPsychological problems or medical disorders, such as a urinary tract infectionUrinary tract abnormalitiesHome CareDo not worry about bed wetting in children before age 6, unless they were previously well toilet trained and the bed wetting is a new problem.Do not punish a child who wets. Bed wetting is NOT caused by laziness or rebelliousness. Shaming a child for wetting the bed can lead to poor self-esteem and feelings of low self-worth.Reassure your child that bedwetting is common and can be helped. You can also have your child take an active part in cleaning up from the bed wetting (such as helping to strip the bed and put the sheets in the laundry).Start by making sure that your child goes to the bathroom at normal times during the day and evening and does not hold urine for long periods of time. Be sure that the child goes to the bathroom before going to sleep.You can reduce the amount of fluid the child drinks a few hours before bedtime, but this alone is not a treatment for bedwetting. You should not restrict fluids too much. Avoiding drinks that contain caffeine can also help.Reward your child for dry nights. Some families use a chart or diary that the child can mark each morning. Although this is unlikely to completely solve the problem, it can help. Try it before you use medicines. It is most useful in children 5 - 8 years old.See your health care provider to consider the use of alarm systems (such as Wet-stop or Enuretone), or drugs like DDAVP nasal spray or pills. These drugs stop bed wetting in 60 - 75% of children who take them, but they are not a permanent cure (once the medication is stopped, the bed wetting tends to come back).Call your health care provider ifCall your doctor if:Your child has had repeated episodes of bed wetting after age 6Your child complains that it hurts to urinateYour child has been drinking excess amounts of fluidsYour child has been showing strange behavior changes (becoming unusually withdrawn or shy, or suddenly behaving in a sexually suggestive way)What to expect at your health care provider's officeThe health care provider will take a medical history from the patient and his or her parents (if the patient is a child).Medical history questions documenting the bed wetting in detail may include:Time pattern When did bed wetting begin?How often does bed wetting occur?Have there ever been "dry" periods before?Quality How often does the child urinate during the daytime?Does the child have a problem controlling urine while awake?Does bed wetting cause the child to wake up?How is the bed wetting treated within the family?Is the bed wetting punished?Are other family members aware of the problem?Does the bed wetting cause shame?Aggravating factors What makes the problem worse?Does the bed wetting increase in times of stress?Is there a urinary tract infection?Does the child drink beverages containing caffeine or alcohol?Relieving factors Is there anything that reduces the problem?Other What other symptoms are also present?

Is dry food ok for your puppy or should you mix it with wet food?
Depends on the age of the puppy. If the puppy is under 6 weeks of age then wetting the food may be necessary. If the puppy is over 8 weeks of age then wetting the food shouldn't be necessary but may be needed during the puppy's teething stage depending on the number of teeth lost. If the puppy looses quite a few baby teeth near the same period of time. Then wetting the puppy's food to soften it will help ensure that the puppy is able to eat their food properly until the new teeth have come in.
Why do some children urinate during sleep at night until 15 or 16 years of age?
I am thinking that its because of no proper coordination o it could be a physical problem.
