My daughter has outgrown diapers, and is now into "big-girl panties".  She
was sleeping with these for a good while (about 2 months), and sometimes
sleeps naked as well.  Now, in the past few days, she has started wetting
the bed.  She asks for help going to the toilet, which we provide whenever
she asks.  She still wets the bed none-the-less.

I realize that all kids go through this. Billy went through it.  What we did
then was tell him as kindly as possible that that was a bad thing to do.
This didn't work.  After a few nights of changing sheets, daddy turned into
a raging beast with threats of going back to diapers, and just a lot of 
commotion.  This worked.  

Is there some middle of the road method to get it across to kids that
bed-wetting is not a fun thing to do?  Something somewhere in-between kindly
talk (it's not NICE to wet your bed) and godzilla (&$*#(*$ bed I'll &&$*#&).

Thanks in advance.
