Our son mastered bladder controll around 3 years (I think, it's been a
while). But bowel movements took untill 4 years old.

The bottom line was, he finally understood how to controll himself. Once you
have taught him the mechanics of going to the potty, it's up to him. Just
encourage him to go whenever you can, and eventually, he'll catch on.
