is he in pull-ups? if so, STOP! underwear will 'cure' him. I had 4's in my class not potty-trained. What seems to work is the child wears underwear, NO pull-up's (except at night if needed). When he wets himself, I remind the child 'oops, looks like you need to take care of something', and hand the child a clean pair of undies and pants. No scolding or prodding him to use the potty. the child then is responsible for changing himself. this includes BM's in the pants. of course, BM's in the pants are very messy to clean, but this does the trick. You can help clean up after the BM when he is unsucessful, but making the child responsible for taking caring of himself helps his independence and takes the potty training responsibility off mom and putting it were it belongs, on him. good luck!
