Bedwetting in older kids

Hi,
I was wondering if any of you have a problem with your older kids still bedwetting at night.
By older kids I mean children older than 5 years old.
My daughter unfortunately has this problem and at the age of almost 6 still is wetting her bed almost every night.
I've heard of the bedwetting alarms and other devices that are supposedly helping kids wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.
Did any one of you ever triy it ?  Did it work?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
 
I am not sure of bedwetting alarms, but below are few best practices that worked for us:
a. Let the kids go to bathroom just before they go to sleep
b. Do not give liquids an hour before they go to sleep. If you have to, just one sip.
c. Provide positive support. If your child isn't stressed out about it, she'll probably grow out of it in time without any problems.
