There is no hard and fast rule for when bed-wetting stops. If you have concerns, you should address them with the boys' physician.
One morning I was changing the diaper on my son (2 1/2 at the time) when he told me "Me big boy, no wear diaper". OK....I put the "big boy" pants on him, showed him the toilet and told him to call me if he needed any help.
I don't recall tmy little boy EVER having an "accident" when he was awake. However, til he went to junior high school (13?? 14??) he wet the bed. Overnighters were traumatic! One day it just stopped.
One night, when he was about 7-8, he got out of bed and wandered past the living room, through the kitchen , and into the laundry room. We watched him from our vantage point, amused. He opened the dry door (front closer). Then he pulled down his underwear.
We got to him just in time!
If the doctor says they are healthy and not to worry, don't worry.

6, 8, and 10, your boys are probably drinking liquids before bedtime. Make them go to the bathroom before going to bed. My sister use to wake her kids in the middle of the night to make sure they don't wet the bed. That way they trained themselves to wake up when having to empty their bladder. Just like you do. Hopefully!

There really isn't an age per se. I have found you some helpful information. Please don't embarrass or berate your child for bedwetting. It can be a serious problem. Good luck.

Bedwetting
This is one of the most confusing, misunderstood problems that a family can face. Ask any ten people why a child or adult wets the bed and you will receive ten different explanations. Research and 60 years of experience has shown that bedwetting is caused by an abnormal, deep, sound sleep. The enuretic (bedwetter) sleeps so soundly that he or she is unable to respond to bladder pressure when necessary.
Misconceptions
Don't worry about it. The child will probably outgrow it.
This is the most common thing parents hear from grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, a co-worker and doctors.. The problem with this statement is very simple. While some children do outgrow bedwetting some do not. It is impossible to get adults to admit that they have the problem. More importantly, no one can tell you exactly when the wetting will stop or what effect it will have on the enuretic in the meantime.
