My son is now 4 and half he will be 5 in june. I have been trying to potty train him the only way i can get him to pee in his potty is if he sits there for a long period of time. He does not say when he has to pee, he does not grab him self when he has to pee. It is almost as if it just comes out and after he pees on the tolit he just sits there as if he did not realize he went pee. If he pees in his pull up same thing if he pees in his under pants he feels he is wet and says he needs a change. He loves to sit on the potty but he just dosent pees again unless he is destracted and sits there for a long period of time. What to do he starts school in 7-8 months.

I don't think this is all that unusual in young boys - to not know they have to pee.  Are there other things about him that are a concern - problems with attention,  or sensory issues?

In schools they often have scheduled bathroom breaks,  and he'll just have to always use those.  If it's bathroom break time,  he will need to go whether he can feel it or not.
