    My daughter is 7 1/2 and my son is 4 1/2. I sometimes seem them playing and dancing because they are holding it or with my son, he's even holding his crotch (for lack of a better descriptive term) and I tell them, go the restroom, and then come back and play or tell me your story. I also still tell everyone to use the potty before leaving the house. They don't have accidents but they still just want to play, read, etc., without taking the time to go potty so I don't know when I will have to stop reminding them but for the most part they are self-sufficient.

    My son is three at the moment and we have almost mastered daytime toilet training. Yay!! :) But I still need to remind him every now and then.

    I remember when I was 10 or so and my mum would ask me if I needed to use the toilet before we went on a long car trip... so I don't know if that counts or not. :)

    Depends on what you mean - is it like before you leave on a long car ride? Then I'd say never. I do a general "go to the bathroom" to everyone in our house, spouse included, before we leave. Kinda the same deal before bed. My son is 10 and I still remind him to go. And to brush his teeth if you can believe that! I'd say the age to officially stop a daily reminder kind of situation would depend on the kid. When you know s/he is responsible enough to stop their playing and go and there's no potty accidents you can stop. I'm not sure there is a hard and fast age limit.

    Like Dawn, I tell my (teenage) kids to go to the loo before we leave on a long car ride.

    Apart from that? I honestly can't remember when I stopped. They really weren't very old. Three, maybe, having been potty trained around the time they turned two?

    Depends if they are normal (non-autistic or not, etc...). If they are waking up to use the restroom at night they don't need reminding during the day unless you're about to go on a big trip or a restroom won't be otherwise available.
