When he's ready he'll go. Don't stress over it because he'll stress over it. If he's 15 years old and still not going then start worrying

Boys are very slow to train sometimes, but girls can be also, it depends on the child. If you are sure your grandson is really ready and knows when he has to go, then what sometimes works is to have some small candies on hand (M&M's, etc.) and every time he does it right he gets a few candies. You can also keep a chart and every time he does it right, he gets a star. When he has 10 stars (or 5 or whatever) he gets a bigger treat, a new truck or book, or a trip to the ice cream store.
If none of this works within a couple of weeks, then your grandson may not be ready yet. Just stop for a while, and try again in a month or two.
It takes patience and persistence. Good luck to you!

What worked with my son was letting him run naked and pee outside on a tree, then i put a leaf in the toilette the next few times and that made it so hed go in the potty. Pooping was another story, hed put on a pull up to do it then make me change him. Getting tired of that I took off the pull up and put on underwear and since he didnt like any kind of messy anything on him or his cloths that gave him the incentive to go in the potty. Dont worry tho if it takes a while. Boys are harder to train than girls and sometimes they arent well trained until they are 4. Good luck.

Boys take longer than girls to get control. My 5 year old still wets the bed every night, we just put a diaper on him. Put a Jar of M&Ms in the bathroom (he can't open) and let him know he get's 3 for going pee and 5 for going poop. Don't give them to him unless he goes. Hope this helps!

My son was not fully potty trained until he was 3 1/2 years old.
For #1 we used "pee pee candies" little m&m's as rewards when he did go.
#2 he'd only want to go in his pull up.
Finally I showed him and warned him that these were the last of the pull up and when they were gone he was going to have to go on the big potty.
We got a ring to go around it, so he wouldn't fall in and gave him a foot stool to rest his feet on.
We asked him if he'd like us to stay in the bathroom with him and read him a story or if he'd like his privacy.
Let him make some of the decisions.
Take him with you to pick out some "cool" big boy undies.
Does he like Superman, Scooby Doo etc.
Don't get mad at him if he has a mistake, just be as encouraging as you can.
Good luck!

Remember that consistency is key. If he's doing well, he still needs reinforcement. He also needs to be reminded on the days that he is doing well. Keep reminding him for at least a couple of months. It can be very hard, but very worth it!
