It sounds like he is very insecure about things. The hiding of wet clothing and not using what he needs would frustrate me. I am presuming he has been to the doctor about it to rule out any medical conditions aside from immature bladder.

Yes he has no medical issue that is causing his bed wetting. He is just a heavy sleeper and lazy. Doesn't want to get out of bed when he does wake up because he is too scared and sleeps to hard most nights to notice he does it.

I am a school nurse aid and I have 6 year old student that does the same thing only he poops his pants all the time. We figured out that he does all of it for manipulation. He tries to hide the fact he pooped his pants by doing multiple diffrent things, but it is not because he is insecure at all. He also had to have someone by his side in everything he did, whether it was a parent, teacher or brother/sister. After we stopped giving into him and letting him have his way all the time, he was a totally diffrent kid in 1 week. (there was ALOT of crying and tantrums involved) He has so far had 1 accident in the last 8 weeks and we are all very proud of him. Mom still gives into him at home and allows him to wear pull ups and sleep with a pacifer but it really didn't take much to turn his behavior around at school with a little consistency.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, don't ignore this situation or your son's insecurity until he is thoroughly checked by a behavioral specialist. There are more than physical reasons for problems such as his and before you act it is best to be sure that you understand his difficulties and from where they originate. This little boy is crying out for help and needs you to provide him with what he needs.

Sounds like you need to see a behavioral therapist and maybe a family counselor - yesterday.

Okay lady, scared does NOT equal lazy.
I'm backing out of this post before I say something rude.

When I was younger I'd say maybe even close to that age I was a heavy sleeper and I know also scared like most kids. But I just wasn't capable of waking myself up at night so my mom set an alarm and took me to the bathroom once or twice a night to potty train me at night.
Maybe he's not the only lazy one in the house? -
I commented... But there was so much more I wanted to say but won't. I agree with you.

How do you know the boy isn't insecure? How do you know he poops his pants for manipulation? What an idiotic thing to say about a 6 yr old that very well may have emotional as well as insecurity problems. Are you with the boy 24/7? Do you know his usual or unusual habits when he is at his home? Do you know how well, or how not so well his relationship might be with his parents when he is at home? Do you know everything that is said, positive or negative to the boy by his parents, when he is at home? You're a school nurse aide, you are not his parent. You know nothing more than what you think is the boys problem. Your evaluation of this boys behaviour is beyond ridiculous. School nurses aide indeed. Where did you buy your credentials, eBay? -
If u act towards him with the same attitude u posted with, im not surprised. You probably scare the shit out of him. He probably hid his wet clothes, so u wouldnt find them. BECAUSE U SCARE HIM.. Why dont u be a little more supportive, instead of so negative.
