Dr Phil Kieran: My grandson is still wetting the bed at six 

Your grandson is still very much at an appropriate age for bedwetting, and chances are high this issue will resolve itself in the next year or so

According to research, 25-20% of five-year-olds, 5-10% of 10-year-olds, and about 1-2% of 15-year-olds will have occasional bedwetting. Picture: iStock 

I’m worried about my grandson, who is still wetting the bed at six. My daughter, who is his mum, says he’ll grow out of it and that it only happens occasionally, but he seems too old for night-time accidents. What would you suggest?

Toilet training can be an unpredictable journey, with some children almost managing the transition on their own and others needing ongoing help and taking a bit longer to get there.
