Correcting itself

So I just wanted to add a little update to my post.

I have had several conversations with my son about this happening and after he understood and believed us that he was doing this it made a big difference. We made sure he was completely aware of where the bathroom light is and he had a nice growth spurt over the summer making it easier for him to reach.

I still hear him getting up in the middle of the night, sometimes, but now when the light is off he systematically turns the light on and continues to the toilet. It is happening a lot less frequently and with better results. I still have concern that this will continue to be a problem throughout his life, especially after he moves out on his own but I have several years to research this further.
