    So your child is in the process of potty training, and still wets at night? That's COMPLETELY normal. Night training can take years after day training. Her bladder needs to mature and she needs to produce the correct hormones to wake her when the bladder is full. You can't teach that.

    As for the tablet, why does a child of potty training age have a tablet in the first place? Even if she was on educational apps, she'd have it for maybe fifteen minutes tops, which shouldn't interfere with peeing.

    Wetting the bed can be an embarrassing issue among kids, but it's actually very common. The National Institutes of Health states that nocturnal enuresis or nighttime incontinence (the medical terms for bedwetting) is involuntary urination after age 5 or 6, and that more than 5 million children experience it. According to the Mayo Clinic, 15 percent of children still wet the bed by age 5, but less than 5 percent of kids do so by ages 8 to 11. Bedwetting tends to run in families and is more common among boys than girls; experts estimate the ratio as roughly 2 boys to 1 girl. Although most children eventually outgrow this phase, here are eight steps you can take to help your child keep dry through the night.

    "I have to take her tablet away." So she is a teenager? Surely you have addressed this long-term bed-wetting problem with her doctor years ago.

    If ... somehow .. you have a toddler or preschooler who has a tablet -- night dryness is not something you can teach or punish your child into acheiving, nor is it about laziness. This is a matter of physical and hormonal maturity -- her hormones have to reach a point where her body makes less urine at night, her bladder has to 'learn' to hold it, and her brain has to learn to wake her when her bladder contains more urine than it can hold. Most children reach this point somewhere between 3-7 years.

    For daytime training, most kids need to be reminded/taken to the potty quite regularly for some time.

    No more dairy. Some children are dairy-sensitive.
