Potty Training Part 2

Please find the following question asked in response to Potty Training 1:
"So what about at night when they have already been trained for years during the day. I have even put them in underwear and taken them to the bathroom in the middle of the night and they are still soaked in the morning. I have cut down the drinking at night and still overnight pants are almost always soaked."



Really try to say NO to drinks after dinner.  
Sometime today have a moment with your child for some big girl tea to discuss this issue.  
There should not be any negative in this talk.  
Tell her you know that this is difficult and that she is not doing it on purpose.  Say: " Lets pray right now that Jesus will help with this....HE love you so much"  
Make a loose plan :  we will not have a drink past dinner.....I will get you up to go to the bathroom when I go to bed. ... and we will continue to pray.  Lets plan some rewards.  1 dry night = a walk with Mom alone!,   3 dry nights = ice cream out with Dad ALONE,  1 week.= fill in the blank.(maybe $5 at the dollar store)   post this by her bed and maybe on the fridge.    Talk about it thru out the day:"I wonder if this will be the night?"  "Dear Lord please help.... to not wet her bed but wake her up to go to the bathroom if she needs to..." Continuous  day and night reminders. I doubt the text in Deut. 8 was about wetting the bed but the foundational truth remains solid    when you sit down, when you walk etc etc.  chat away   lots of hugs and lots of encouragement.
Please try this and we will watch for a comment as to how it is going.


Blessings!
