My next door neighbor makes rugs by cutting or ripping the jeans and other fabrics into long strips, sewing the end of the strips to make them longer and braiding them. She makes braided oval rugs, circular ones, placemats, chair pads and pads to put your hot pots on. ... View related article.
She may not get out of bed because she is too embarrassed to face you after she has wet herself. Think of how upsetting it must be for her to wake up to another "failure" to control herself each morning and have compassion on her. I know its hard but its hard to be her too. I would kindly and gently take time to help her strip the bed and show her how to take care of the laundry in the morning and be sure to get her up early enough so that it doesn't cause a hectic time getting ready for school....be sure she has a pleasant morning routine so she'll look forward to waking up instead of dreading it, and reward her by having a leisurely breakfast with her talking about what she has to look forward to each day. Also, I'd help her learn to put her mattress pad and bedclothes back together when she gets home from school. Again make it a pleasant experience and let her know you are proud of her for taking responsibility for herself and her room. She may outgrow this. Some children wet the bed till they are about 12 yrs old. This too shall pass. ... View related article.
