bedwetting

There are a variety of emotional reasons for bedwetting. For example, when a young child begins wetting the bed after several months or years of dryness, this may reflect new fears or insecurities. Or stress like the other post said.
As a parent try to remember that a child rarely wets the bed on purpose and usually feels ashamed.
When I got married, my step daughter started wetting the bed. She also was 6 years old. I didn't understand why she was doing this. At times I became frustrated. I read up on it and realised that she was stressed because of the new living situation.
Once we got to know each other and the changes in her life became more familure, she gradually stopped wetting the bed.
We talked about what we could do to help her stop doing this.
less drink before bed
wake her up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom
and on dry days and night let them know how how proud you are
