Need help getting 7 year old potty trained

Take her to the bathroom on a set schedule. When she finally only goes in the bathroom instead of the diaper then try taking her less but remind her to go to use the bathroom if she needs it. Does she say anything about why she likes diapers?

Try telling her that as soon as she feels like she needs to go to run to the bathroom. Has she ever gone potty in the actual toilet before or was it always in a diaper? Do her friends pick on her or anything? Just trying to see if she is feeling like being in a diaper is good or bad for her.

You should be more strict with her though. I'll explain in a bit. So just recently helped a 3 year old get potty trained. He was in the middle of moving house so for about a month his potty training wasn't a focus. He's my nephew. Anyway, when they got settled in closer to me it was when I found out he was in diapers still. His older brother and sister potty trained before age 3 so I assumed he was potty trained as well but when I found out he wasn't then I was like ok I'll help because it needs to happen soon. Since there was still unpacking to do and stuff, it would be difficult to do a set schedule. So we would all constantly ask him if he had to go potty. When we hasn't gone in a while one of us would have him sit on the potty to "practice" we told him. He had a small portable kiddy potty. So he was taken on both. I only had him sit on the big potty. It's good he talks so that helps to get feedback too on how he's thinking. So I know he wants to be a big boy and I then used it to my advantage. I used to tell him that those who are big go potty on the toilet and I'd show him the one we all use. I also list who. I say your brother goes potty on the big toilet, your sister does, your parents, me, your grandparents, etc. And I ask do you want to be big like them? And he would say yes all excited that he wants to be big. So I remind him that it means he needs to potty like those who are big do. And I needed him to see that it was true and that it was his mission. About a week of doing that it worked! His sister was doing her hair in the bathroom and his dad, his grandma, and I were in another room. He apparently had to go poop so he went to the bathroom, pulled his pants off, and sat there and started going. His sister who was doing her hair in the bathroom realized what happened and started laughing and calling for dad saying he was pooping. So the dad came in all happy and helped him. Then were clapping for him and were telling him he did good. He then told me he was a big boy now. It was so cute. And I told him he was but only if he continued to use that toilet and not diaper or anything. So it worked. He only began using a diaper at night just for any accidents. But there weren't any and he was getting upset that he had to wear a baby diaper because he was big. So I think it's gone now too. He did have an accident during the day once or twice so this is where strictness came in. He understands what to do so that's when you should apply it just as your kid knows how it needs to be done. The strictness was no cartoons for a day or whatever. That way they'll feel bad and not do it again. So yeah even though he was the tougher one in the family he potty trained before 3.5 years.
