Normal: Assuming this isn't a new problem, it is perfectly normal for a 6 year old to still wet the bed. Limit the fluids after dinner. Have him urinate before he goes to bed, and consider waking him to urinate before his parents go to bed. Bed wetting alarms can help. There are medications, but I wouldn't recommend in a 6 yr old. Best to discuss with his PCP since he knows the child and can evaluate

Enuresis alarm: Enuresis can persist into young adulthood and is usually familial. It can be quite frustrating for affected people. First line prevention is avoiding liquids after 6 pm and voiding before bed. Enuresis alarms are devices that attach to the waistband and vibrate when the bladder contracts, and DDAVP is a medication (oral or nasal spray) which are other treatment options. I hope this helps!
