Mine probably naps like, 50% of the time now. Maybe a little more. But whether or not he naps, he still gets to stay in his dark room in his bed for an hour. I figured it's good for him to rest, even if he doesn't nap. I almost gave up on them a few months ago, but being cranky for hours before the nap was driving me crazy. I needed the quiet time maybe more than him 😅
We still try every day but he refuses most week days with my MIL. Weekends we can usually get him to nap from 1-4. On weekdays when he fights it, we still have him stay in bed for quiet time even if he won't nap
@Alyssa The toddler ‘tude drives me crazy!! 🙃🙃
@Sarah thanks! I’ll definitely start doing quiet time and hopefully that’ll help. 🤞
He still naps at daycare most of the time but we’ve been boycotting naps at home. He’ll fall asleep in the car if we are out and about but if we’re home we have quiet time from 12-2. He can play in his room quietly by himself. I’m not sure that’s helped his attitude but 🤷🏼♀️
My 3 y/o doesn’t take naps anymore. I wish though! I notice when she takes naps or sleeps in longer she’s harder to get to bed at night. Every child is different though.
Yes mine needs a nap or sleep at night is bad, she’ll wake up at 4am ready to go. She takes a later nap most days but we try to keep it short.
