yes see a doctor, not only don't scold the child but try to not make the child feel bad by it either. wetting the bed is more than likely upsetting the child enough as it is. in the mean time making sure the child uses the restroom before sleep. over night pants will help with sheets. i had wet the bed until the 6th grade. and my parents making a big deal about it made things horrible for me. be patient.

First se if there is something that is really worrying her..something she is stressed about. That can often be a sign of stress if a child starts to wet the bed again. Make sure you never make her feel shamed for wetting the bed...she can not help it. You might want to have a Dr check her out to make sure she does not have an infection or something.
Try to talk to her and see if something is bothering her..something that you may have no idea about.

He'll proberly stop by the time he is 11 or 12 years old ( some kids do it until their 13!). Perhaps you should take him to the doctor to make sure he dosn't have a kidney infection or anything and ask if there is something you may give him to help control his kidneys or ask about this thing thats out now.I'm not sure what its called but a doctor should know.You simply place it in your child's under were befor they go to sleep (i think) and it will vibrate to let them know that they need to go. Try wakeing him up every 2-3 or 4in a half hours of the night and make him atleast try to potty.

She might just be a really sound sleeper and not realize she has to go. Get her some overnight pants and don't scold, it's not something she does on purpose. You might want to take her to the doctor in case she has a bladder infection or other medical problem. At 6 it's really not unusual. My son had occasional accidents until about 8, and I did until I was 7. My mother would scream and yell and totally humiliate me, as if I weren't embarrassed enough already! It was awful. If you have her checked out and there's nothing physically wrong, just give her time and she'll outgrow it.

well, if its a little girl, ask if it burns or anything like that when she goes potty. She may have a bladder infection without any symptoms that she notices. If its a little boy, he may be waking up with erections and it just happens. My 9 yr old went thru a spell a few weeks ago. He was waking up with an erection and couldnt really tell he needed to go. I had him start going potty every 15 mins before bed time then right at bed time.. it seems to have helped.

Limit their fluid intake before bedtime. With my older daughter she wasn't allowed anything after dinner time and make them try to go right before they go to bed.
Or it could be that they just don't want to get up and go to the bathroom. My stepdaughter was scared of the dark so she'd wet the bed instead of getting up and walking to the bathroom (there was a single night light in the hallway). We finally figured it out and got a ton of plug in night lights and let her pick out a flash light to use to get to the bathroom. I'd check if that could be the problem.

tell your parent to take the little girl to the doctor and he should be able to tell you

have him checked out it may be his kidneys, they are probably not fully developed just yet.
