My son is almost 8 and still has accidents at times not all the time just occasionally night and day is it normal what can i do to prevent it he's 8?

One possible cause: Accidents in this age may be a result of constipation and stool holding habits. What usually happens is that the liquid stool will leak around the constipated stool and cause an accident. Find out if he has been having issues with constipation and if so you can add a stool softener to his regimen. This should help.
