Its nice & warm in bed (even a wet one) and it can be frightening in the dark & quiet of the night. Can she reach the light switches? Put a torch by the bed so she can shine it on the light switch to find it quickly. Or keep the bathroom & landing lights on/put nightlights in each room.

If the trek to the bathroom is too terrifying, put a potty beside the bed for a while.

Carrot - new pyjamas/nightie (get her to choose) that are not to be weed on/for best
Stick - get her to help wash the soiled bedding & nightclothes

Good luck!

Thank you to the person that answered this query but unfortunatly this has been tries she has a nightlight on ih her bedroom also on the landing and its approx 10 steps to the bathroom from her room but no she wont move

Also the bribery has been tried i.e new pyjamas/nightie that she has chosen but to no avail i myself suggested nappies to try to humiliate her in a way any further suggestions please

make sure she goes to the toilet before bed and doesnt have a drink after 6pm. bed by 7.30pm at the latest.
if shes waking in the night and wetting herself a trip to the doctor may have to be considered as she may need to be checked out for infection - if nothing else it may give her the incentive to get up
