My son was nearly 4 when he potty trained. He is 7 now and needs to be put on a schedule. He goes once an hour at school, regardless. My son has SPD, he doesn't always realize that he needs to go until it's too late. I often have to tell him to go. He'll argue with me, and then go.

I have a hard time not making it my issue. You really have to not make it an issue. It really makes a huge difference.

You could put a little 'treat' in the bathroom. My friend put a small candy dish in the bathroom. If Evan wanted an M&M, he had to go into the bathroom to get it. And at least try to go, before he could have the treat.

Rewards don't really work much for my son. He'll decide he doesn't want whatever the reward is, so he doesn't have to do the expected thing. Which actually works for me. I don't think proper behavior should be rewarded, but poor behaviour should have a consequence.
