: : Hi Yvette

: : Approx 10% of children regularly wet the bed up until the age of 8 years. There are behaviour modification strategies that can be helpful to reduce bed wetting with an older child, however, at 4 your son is much too young for these methods. You may like to see your doctor to rule out any physical problems otherwise I am afraid it may simply be a matter of waiting until he matures.

: Thanks, both have good points. I have tried the no drinks after a certain time but he says he is soooo thirsty, and I make him potty twice before I lay him down. I guess he is just too young.

Don't worry about it I was 11 before I stopped wetting the bed.Besides does anyone know of a adult who wets the bed?
