Reassurance: About 5% of 10-year olds will wet the bed, and bedwetting runs in families. Reassure the child that bedwetting will usually go away on its own. Suggestions: reminder to go to bathroom before bed, avoiding caffeine, and drinking less at night. A reward system for having dry nights might be helpful. Don't yell or punish, but have your child help change the sheets. Dry nights should be praised!
