These home treatments  improve daytime wetness especially if wetness is not due to any medical condition or stress

• tell your child the importance of going to the bathroom whenever she has the  urge to
• reward your child with specials treats, hugs or stickers for keeping dry
• don’t make the child wear diapers. This may make her  feel like a baby. It is also hard for a child to take off his diaper and use the toilet. You can instead use disposable underwear of pull-ups which may be helpful.
