Glow sticks can be gaudy, and don’t last for too many nights. Therefore, save your cash and don’t buy them for use. (Yes, you can save them in the refrigerator, but with a glow stick’s life cycle, but doing so is unnecessary. )
Make sure that the glowing stickers have had some light exposed to them at first before the child begins to fall asleep. If you can, use an always-on nightlight near these glowing stickers to ensure they will stay glowing when they are most needed each night.
Explain also to them that you will be there to help, as needed. If they’re old enough and want to, they can take care of their bathroom needs by themselves at night, but also reassure them that you’re available for help if they need it.
Even a onesie can be considered an easy-to-remove piece of clothing, once the child realizes where the snaps are that hold the clothing shut. Or have them sleep in only their diaper to make it easy for them.
For a little peace of mind, provide a baby monitor in both the child’s bedroom (the transponder) as well as in the bedroom where you sleep (the receiver) , to make sure you don’t “skip a beat!”
If your child is really struggling with motivation when it comes to potty-training, you might consider a reinforcement schedule. Provide a sticker for each dry night, and let them know that once they have three or four stickers, they can pick out a little toy or get a fun trip to the playground. Match the reward to your child’s wants and needs, and make it something fun.

Always remove the bedwetting diaper once the morning arises. You may feel safe enough to use regular underwear on your little ones, but sometimes nighttime training may cause daytime accidents for a few days. Use a pair of potty-training pants in the daytime, such as Pull-Ups or the store brand variety, if needed.
