Carrie, First, I'm a little preplexed why you first tried to post this on the TEENS message board. But having said that, I think it should be obvious to you that the reason for your son's increased "accidents" lately is his constant wearing of goodnites during the day -- whether unconsciously, or consciously for the sake of defiance or convenience, wearing protection seems to have encouraged his body to get accustomed to going to the bathroom in his clothes whenever he needs to. I would suggest you take him out of the goodnites for awhile and see what happens. If the accidents are out of laziness, the embarrassment of having wet and smelly pants in front of his classmates at school ought to motivate him to stop pretty quickly. If there is a genuine problem that persists for awhile, then he may even come to you and ask to wear them again, which you can agree to on the condition that he NEVER uses the protection instead of the bathroom intentionally when he could have made it, or you will take it away from him again. Having occasional daytime accidents is not unheard of at that age, and what your son mainly needs is time for his body to develop; however, going intentionally in his goodnites (if that is what's going on) is a behavior problem which you should be able to correct as I've suggested above. The reason I caution against extended use of the goodnites (as you will know if you've read my other posts) is that I think they can actually inhibit his muscular development by training him to empty his bladder (or bowels) when he first feels the urge, rather than exercising them by trying to hold on until he can make it to a toilet. Above all, whatever else you decide, make it clear that you love your son no matter what, and that the accidents he is having (except when he is intentionally using the goodnite) are NOT his fault, and he will almost certainly grow out of the problem soon. Hang in there and best of luck!! -- Adam
