My son (9 years old) still has problems on keeping his bed dry during night. What kind of advice or therapy would you propose?

- Encourage fluid intake during the day and limit it in the evenings, steering clear of caffeinated and sugary drinks.
- Develop a pre-bed bathroom routine and encourage waking up during the night to use the bathroom.
- Employ a bedwetting alarm to establish a conditioned response to waking up and using the bathroom when the bladder is full.
- Foster confidence through positive reinforcement, praising, and rewarding for dry nights instead of punishment or negativity.
- If persistent bedwetting happens, seek the advice of a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying medical conditions and explore alternative treatments.
