Hi Kristy, while reward systems are generally discouraged in the management of children’s bedwetting you could certainly adopt this approach to try and stop his deliberate wetting in the morning. You need to decide in advance with your son what type of behaviours you would like to encourage and how you will reward these. For example, you could reward him for removing his DryNites and putting them in the bin as soon as he wakes in the morning. Some children respond particularly well to reward charts that can accumulate or be “cashed-in” for a more significant prize or reward. Remind him that you do not expect him to remain dry overnight, as nighttime wetting is something he has no control over, however it is important that he does not wee in his DryNites in the morning when he is awake.
Regards,
Dr Cathrine
