Agree entirely with Specialmom. Put her in night pants, it is not going to "encourage" her not to try, she is 7 and wants to be dry at night! There are also big incontinence pads that you can buy in the old-person section of the grocery store, they are flat squares with an absorbent front and a waterproof back, and you put them under her in the bed. It beats washing sheets! And this too will go by, in time. Don't make her feel bad, she is not trying to do this.
Oh, and kids of that age lie if ashamed, fearing consequence, fear your grave disappointment in her or they aren't sure what to do. It is actually developmentally normal. I'd really follow through and never get angry when she does tell you the truth. She's being self protective rather than 'bad' when she lies in cases like wetting at night and knowing you might be upset about it. peace and luck
Hi there. It is actually not that uncommon for kids 9 and under to wet at night--- up to 12% do this. AND, believe it or not, they typically have a parent that did it at least periodically as well. The important thing is to not shame her. No child of 7 wants to continue to do this. The underjams at night do not encourage a child to do this--- she is already NOT waking up at night. She's not getting the signal to wak when she has to go as this can take some time to become strong enough for some kids. I'd go ahead and have her wear the pull ups or underjams for a bit longer. Again, these signals grow stronger. They also make pads that you can put under her sheet that are waterproof.
Be patient, she'll get it. peace
