boy and have no problem with the 3 older ones wetting up until 1 st grade 1
wore goodnights but stopped really fast.. they never have wetting problems..
any ideas?? thanks

If it does have to do with being "lazy", then it's a matter of
scheduling toilet time. Some kids would rather not interrupt anything
in order to go to the bathroom, and so they hold it until they're
physically incapable of holding it anymore. If that's what she's
doing, then you just have to set up times when she needs to go --
every time before you leave the house, when you get back, before
meals, before bedtime, whatever. The Bug virtually never says she has
to go potty unless she has to poop, and can hold her urine for 12
hours. *I* need to stay on top of how long it's been since she peed
to make sure she goes often enough, and I tell her when she needs to
go.
