My daughter will be 4 in january.  She has been COMPLETELY potty trained for a year now.  No accidents at night or at all.  at the beginning of the year she started wetting the bed.  We never mentioned it negatively and praised her for dry mornings.  Now she is wetting the bed every night and having accidents throughout the day.  Just potty, not bowel movements.  I remind her and send her to the potty....she usues....but still will wet herself.  And it does not bother her to be wet!  I do not know what to do.  Please help!

At her age there is no reliable intervention to address the enuresis at night. But you can establish a reward system (probably some favored little treat would be best) for staying dry during periods throughout the day. At the start each period should be only 1-2 hours. When she appears to have mastered that, extend the periods to 3-4 hours.
