He's old enough to know better and he's playing you like a fiddle -- kids that are smart can do this and do this well. Don't let him watch tv, play games, play with his toys, or anything. Tell him only big boys get them. If he wants them, he will have to prove that he is a big boy. Also, make him clean up his own pee. (You'll have to finish cleaning it, but he'll get tired of doing it).

Take away whatever he cherishes most and tell him he can't have it back until he goes in the bathroom.

Punish him when he doesn't use the potty. (No tv) But when he does use it give him a treat. (Sweets, extra tv etc). By this age he should be well able to use a toilet. Dont be afraid to punish him if you have to.

Try asking him why he doesn't want to grow up, if he doesn't want to he has to have reasons and once you know what they are you can make him feel better about them.

SUGAR give him an M and M, or a skittle or a starburst (or any small candy) every time he uses the potty always use rewards for proper behavior, don't turn this into a big war.
