I have never heard of tablets for kids to stop wetting, she is doing it more by day hardly ever by night unless she gets too much to drink before she goes to bed....

Take her to your GP
she might have a sensitive bladder and a small course of medication may help xx

She's six so I'm guessing she has a specific bedtime. Make sure she goes to the bathroom once every hour starting 3 hours before bedtime. Do not give her anything to drink an hour and a half before bedtime. And absolutely no watermelon or soda late at night.
It's perfectly normal for a six year old to be bed-wetting. You're her mother. Remember to remind her at LEAST ONCE every hour to go 'potty'. If she wakes up in the middle of the night, she might have to go to the bathroom. She might not be getting up to go in the middle of the night because maybe she's afraid of the dark; keep a nightlight on somewhere.
Maybe she doesn't want to open the door (for various reasons) - keep the bathroom door open.
(unless you have a pet or a different reason you cant keep it open)
Good Luck, and use my tips and she'll be fine.

Some times children get so caught up in what they are doing they "forget" to go. Try reminding her about once an hour to go potty after a while she will be in the habit of going. She may have a small bladder but that would not stop her from going to the bathroom to potty she just gets side tracked. Stay calm it will be okay. Good luck!

Patience.patience.patience.Kids can feel their parents stress.So if your stressing over this then it is just going to get worse. During the day when she is at home just casually mention everytime u are going to the bathroom. Like gee I really have to go.Plus sometimes ask her if she needs to go too.Kids at that age are haveing so much fun that they wait until it is to late and then have accidents. Or it could be medical. Good luck

She'll stop wetting when she's ready and if you put too much pressure on her it is likely to worry her and make matters worse.
Just praise her when she's dry and ignore the accidents until she's a bit older, then it might be worth introducing a system of rewards.

Have you tried homeopathic bed-wetting tablets?
