[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 131052, member: 1991"] The alarm is supposed to work by waking the child AS they are wetting, so they get interrupted. The child then should re-set the alarm (if mature enough) because unless the child is on board with this, you aren't going to be as sure of success. We were on line to hire the alarm - it had been ordered in our name, was about to be couriered across from the incontinence doctor's place, but the simple procedure of having the appointment (when the doctor talked to difficult child 3 about how we were trying to help him have dry nights) plus the "toilet time" at our bedtime, PLUS (a big plus) putting him in his own undies to sleep (an act of faith, plus also him quickly learning the feel of wet pants) had done the trick in the week it took to order the alarm. We told the doctor to send it back, we no longer needed it. She gave us a booklet with some really good stuff ini it - I'll see if I can find it, in case there's anything I have forgotten. But I've listed the things that did the trick for us. I do feel though, an important part of it was discussing what we planned with difficult child 3, to get him on side and working with us in this. We did make it clear to him, the problems wasn't him being naughty or lazy, it was simply that for some people, that part of the brain takes a bit longer to switch into older person mode.
