[quote=Anonymous]I'd give up (for now) on the sensation thing and just train that every 2-3 hours he needs to go to the bathroom. And it's not acceptable to say he doesn't "need" to go.  Sounds like he's in elementary school.  You can/should explain that he simply must keep his underpants and clothing dry, he's old enough to do this. And, "Since you don't know when you need to go, we're going to do something new.  From now on, at 9am, 12, 3pm, and before leaving a building (to go home, to school, to playground) and when arriving at a building (entering school, house, friend's house) you must go to the bathroom."   He will probably urinate most of the time because his bladder is full.  And when his underpants are dry all day then he gets a toy that he loves (or a special treat like more time on tv, or whatever really works for him).  Eventually, when he's dry more than not, then you can say he gets a chip when he's dry all day, and a certain # of chips get cashed in for special things (5 chips = pizza dinner, 10 chips gets a trip to local playspace, whatever he loves.[/quote]
