We purchased the Sear's bed wetting gadget for one of our four children.
It worked so well we used it with the last child also and sent it to my
brother to use with his daughter who had wet her bed for > five years.  It
took less than two weeks to stop her.  The gadget is an aluminized cloth
with holes through it and two leads to a battery=>light=>buzzer in series.

When the child pees, it completes the circuit and the light lights and
the buzzer sounds which wakes daddy and I go and take Sara or Matt to
the potty.  No recriminations, just time to pee.  The spots get rapidly
smaller as the child wakes sooner and the deed is soon done.

The thing cost about $45.00 and was so fast that it was worth 5-10
times that.

**NOTE**  If it doesn't work quickly, fix what's wrong.  This is the
only method I have ever heard of that will positively tell you if there
is a physical problem without x-rays of the child's genitalia.  If the
child is emotionally responding to other trauma, the additional
positive attention will help fix that as well.

Love your child, Don't panic.
