There are two messages from Jim, dated 12/15/01 and 12/27/01, and also one from Mark dated 12/29/01, which you will find on another page of this board. Those messages and the responses to them are worth reading because both of those situations are similar to yours. There are those who would tell you that a child should never be forced to wear a diaper if he really doesn’t want to, but I for one believe he should at least be required to try it for a while before deciding. Then if he still doesn’t want to he can take responsibility for changing his bed and washing the sheets. Chances are, once he realizes that he can sleep through the night and not wake up on wet sheets, he will agree to the diapers. The biggest problem will probably be to convince him that wearing a diaper does not make him a baby, and to be discreet so his friends don’t tease him about it.
