He did good for 2 weeks or so and then he is back to peeing the bed. I refuse to take his bedtime water away from him because he has always had a bedtime drink. I have given him less water, he gets about 3-6 ounces. It's usually early morning that he has to go. I don't want to have to set an alarm just so I can get up to take him to the bathroom at 4 am. What can I do?...

He is 3 and I learned to use the naughty chair or naughty corner. Make it the same chair every time, set a timer for the age that they are and make them sit there. If it takes you a half hour to make them sit for three minutes then that's what you have to do. You have to show your children who is the boss. The naughty stair might work too, jut not for me. I learned this from watching a few episodes of Super Nanny. She makes really good points in her shows. Goo...

I’m currently a member of 20 groups and throughout that time I’ve noticed that many people homeschool their kids. There’s mention of it in many of the groups I frequent. Homeschooling can be terrifying to start and very rewarding, as well as draining. I invite you to come to the Homeschooling group and check it out ( http://www.mdjunction.com/homeschooling ).

I don't have any advice. I can just tell you that I worked with a boy who had this exact issue. He also was 5, had just started school, didn't like to be changed and said he couldn't feel it.

Good job! These early years at school are really geared to develop the child's social skills more than academics. Being emotionally ready for school is so important for their success in later years. Maybe if you feel your child is ready and still bored you could look into a gifted program....
