My little grandson has the same issue and he is 5. It is getting much better, but how we deal with his issue is.. we get him to take a time out toilet break after each meal (about 30 minutes after). Then we show him how much more time he has to enjoy playing and etc when he goes potty in the toilet rather then having to be cleaned up completely. It really takes a parents watchful eye on the child to really learn his bowel habits. We use a digital clock, so he can actually see the numbers on the clock. This also teaches them their numbers etc. We are down from daily accidents to one every other week now.
