i just can't believe that this is a real question. but i guess it's possible. i kept my friends 2 yr old(lets call her T) for 7months and i told her to take her out of the pull-ups and by the trainer panties so her daughter could feel the wetness. also i used to take away privileges when "T" would not tell me she had to go to the bathroom. like sit in a corner, no t.v, after i felt like she got the hang of it, if she peed on herself without telling me she got a spanking. she was one of those kids who would just pee on themselves and not tell you but just sit there in the pee, even after you asked them if they need to go to the bathroom.
so after she got a real good spanking from me and her mom for peeing in my chair and on my carpet while continuing to eat breakfast she started telling us she had to go. she had a few close calls(peeing right outside the bathroom) but these are fine as long as she acknowledged that she had to go.
i say if they can tell you they want candy and can talk about what's on t.v then they can be potty trained.
so either take him to a doctor, or take a parenting class(not being rude here) they really would help out with info.
also this could be a control issue, this being the only thing he can control or be in charge of the outcome. dunno, just a thought.
good luck

I can't believe this has gone on for this long. I would think unless he has a serious behavioral diagnosis that you have been neglecting him for the past 3 to 4 years. If he is a normal 6 year old you need to appologize to him and let him know that you did not do the right thing for him by allowing him to go to the restroom on himself. The word potty is for baby's, he is not a baby. Do not reward a child with food, that is why we have so many children that are obese in this country. You can give hem responsibility points. Make him a chart for his behavior. Maybe you should make yourself a chart as well. When you do something responsible you can get a sticker and show him you are tying your best also.
This will be a battle but it is one that you have made for yourself. It is a disservice what you have done to your son and now you must do everything in your power to make it right!!!

With my 2 year old who i am trying to potty train, i have gotten her potty training movies, toys (elmo potty chair toy), books and I started a sticker chart. She does go sometimes but not always. Good luck!

i think the problem here is that you dont want to learn how to teach your child how to use the potty appropriately. He knows when he is going now, he knows what the toilet is.
Maybe you should try a little harder to research how to potty train your child by now. 6 years in diapers is a little extreme.

First of all i can't believe that your chid is 6 years old and is not potty-trained and he is OLD enough to know what he has to do by now!! I would take him to a doctor and find out what is going on because this is NOT normal!!!

I guess your childen doesn't attend school then. Tell him that big boys that go to school have to use the potty. You are about 3 years too late on training him. Seek professional help

you need to get him to go where he needs to go. Is he in school?
This is terrible... a child 6 years old and not potty trained is not
good.
he is hanging onto baby like behavior and you need to get him
to let go.. is he with you all the time? what do you do when he
messes, is there any support for you - cause you are gonna need it...

A poopie in the potty gets him a hershy's kiss.... a peepee in the potty gets him an m&m.... leave the candies in a bowl near the bathroom so he is reminded... OR just don't change his diapers! HAHA! That will be gross.... But he will get the point.... sitting in poop is just gross.... Make him wear them and don't let him take them off!

don't give your son a choice. you are the parent and he is the child. simply refuse to change diapers if he won't cooperate. infact don't even buy diapers anymore. buy pull-ups. show him the correct way to use the potty and tell him all big boys his age already do it and that it's time for him to learn. tell him how to use the pullups and tell him that there will be no more diapers.

Have you had him assessed for special needs? He probably has other issues if this is truly the case. Take him to a doctor!
