Whoa, never knew incontinence in children is so high in the world. It could go as high as 12% for 7-year-olds in developed countries and this figure could go much higher as parents think that it is embarrassing and a taboo to talk about such things! Treatment of children's continence actually start at 5 years old and I've deprived my poor boy of 2 years! How ignorant I can be!
It's interesting to see how cooperative and eager to work with the rehab technician. He's really eager to get out of his diapers and be a real big boy. And he can't wait to do it. I have a strong hunch that the behavioural problems he has been putting up since beginning of the term is due to his sense of insecurity without his domineering sister by his side. For Natalie, conversely, she's never coped as well as this year so far, now that her greatest competitor is out of the way in another class. How interesting.
O Lord, by grace You gave us this pair of twins to raise in a way pleasing to you, by obedience we will do our best to raise them the way you want us to. Parenting is no simple task, especially we are not natually made parents. But I'm sure along the way, You will guide us and send us guardian angels to help us so that we may do a befitting job. Lord, let us not disappoint you and do you proud.
Amen.

Wow that's news to me, a mother of 4 as well. I am concerned too as Edna also wear diaphers to bed while her 1-year younger cousin stopped months ago.

Bedwetting should scientifically stop at 5yo max, even for boys who tend to be slower at developing their sphincter muscle. If your child is still bedwetting frequently after that age, you should seek professional help.
I went polyclinic, straight away I got referred to KK "Bedwetting Unit". After a preliminay analysis by the doctor, I got another appointment to see the rehab technician, who explained patiently to the child that his/her bedwetting is not abnormal, and introduced 2 models of alarms to the parents.
One thing to note, the more expensive version looks more sleek and sophisticated, but it is not loud enough to wake anyone up unless the child can respond to the vibrator on her shoulder. The cheaper version requires the use of pantiliners so it's actually more expensive in the long run. But even under blanket it's loud enough to wake the parent up if the child is sleeping in the same room. Takes anything from 42 days to a year to see success, by which it still fals, the child will be put on medication, though with some undesirable side effects.
Hope this helps.
Thanks ;)
