Have him wear Goodnights to bed so that if he does pee it is like a diaper and will absorb it.It will be a better night sleep for everyone.As far as peeing at school-that is a problem and until the issue is under control I would have him wear the goodnights to school too-it will not be as embaressing as peeing his pants in front of everyone and no one else has to know that he is wearing them.

First and foremost, STOP putting pressure on him if you are doing so. It won't help, it'll just make him more nervous. Some kids have too much stress during the day, so when they go to sleep at night their body relaxes so completely that even their bladder function is not relaxed.
Second, if your son's bladder problems are not going away even after following your doctor's instructions, then you need to take him back to the doctor and either have him retested or get a referral to a specialist. He could simply not be producing a hormone that he needs. He may need surgery or he may need to wear a monitor.
And third, don't think that you're son is the only six-year-old with this problem. There are lots of kids who have this problem, even at that age and older. It's more common than you think.

Does your son sleep well, is he a restless sleeper and does he snore loudly in his sleep? This could be an underlying problem to look into with an ear nose and throat specialist. Our 6 year was having alot of problems and after they took his tonsils and adenoids out, he has only had two accidents in the last 6 months. Hope this info helps.

Get a second opinion from a urologist. apparently he is under a lot of stress. So be patient and don't add to his stress. Eventually he'll get over if it isn't something medially wrong. There ar boys 8 and 10 that still wet their beds and pants.

that's probably appropriate to the beginning of his sister. Many toddlers regress to till now behaviours while a sibling is born. i recognize you do no longer think of that's actual, and that i doubt it, too, yet having him checked by his usual practitioner could be a reliable thought, just to ascertain. with the aid of fact it occurs while observing television, taking part in his video activity, or dozing/dozing, that's probably that his recommendations is engaged someplace else and he's not recognizing the urge to pass or his physique's only "letting it pass" like it did while he became into youthful. that's like his recommendations is busy, so the "might desire to pass" sign only bypasses the portion of his recommendations that's knowledgeable to stop what he's doing and pass. needless to say, punishment isn't working. do no longer think of of it as worthwhile or bribing him. think of of it as reinforcing the behaviour you like. Ever tried to drop some weight (or the different aims) and deliberate to advantages your self for assembly aims? think of of it that way. His purpose is to, say, have dry pants till lunch. He gets a decal on his chart. progressively strengthen that purpose till that's to stay dry each and every of the time. while he gets a definite sort of stickers, plan what the advantages would be.

At age 6 and assuming you're a good parent, meaning the child has a decent family life with no traumatic events to trigger this, I think its time for a second medical opinion.
He should be over it by now. If not, its probably not his or your fault, its physical like you said, he may need surgery.

at a young age now it really is a bladder problem there isnt much you can do they have special kids of undies so if they do go they wont be ashamed of the situation. if its not a bladder problem then if you dont whoop your child you should have him wash his own sheets or at least disinfect his own room every morning then maybe it will cut back on the peeing

Maybe its not a physical problem. Maybe he needs to talk to a counselor.
