I would think between 2 and 2 and a half. Maybe she should speak to her child’s Dr. 4 and a half is way to old to be having accidents.
What Age Should A Child Be Completely Potty Trained , Cousins Having Problems With Her 4 1/2 Years Old Daughter Having Up To 6 Accidents A Day Or More , She Did Suffer From Some Trauma In The Past Fall Of 2018, Thanks For The Help?
Darren, from my experience with children and grandchildren, it's the same as Skip's answer. About 2 - 2 1/2 years old.
Excellent background information on the issue:

I am concerned about you saying she had some trauma in the fall of last year. Traumas in a young child can definitely cause bed wetting and or accidents ESPECIALLY if it was sexual abuse! This baby needs a doctor big time if that is the case! If there wasn't a trauma then yes, for girls they tend to be potty trained usually by 3. For boys it's a little later.
Agree with the consensus of 2 to 3 at the most. A doctor visit is definitely in order. I was still having trouble with overnight at 3 and my mom took me to the doctor. It seems I have underdeveloped nerves letting me know I need to go until I REALLY have to go. I had to learn to take potty breaks whenever possible and not wait for my bladder to get full. Something I have to continue to do.
Hello!
While most people agree that a child is usually trained by
the age of three, there are a lot of exceptions. That is why we should never
compare kids. They are all different from one another. However, I understand
your concern. Since you said she went through some trauma in the past, it would
be best to visit a doctor or a psychiatrist.
