Bed wetting

I just posted a question and forgot I had one more.  My boyfriends 9 year old daughter still wets the bed on a nightly basis.  Is this normal?  Is there anything pro active that we should do for this?  Or just leave it alone and she'll stop when she's ready. As of now she wears GoodNights to bed every night and throws away the wet one in the morning.

Generally, there is no emotional cause of nocturnal enuresis. A percentage of children, more boys than girls, remain enuretic at night at her age. The problem will likely resolve over time, but if she is interested in improvement two interventions can prove helpful: (a)medication - which her pediatrician can tell you about (there are several) and (b) so-called wet-stop alarms. She's at a good age for either approach.
