The End of the Toddler Napping
June 25th, 2010 by admin
When your child reaches the age of about 3-4 there’s a good chance that naps will begin t be a thing of the past. If you’re a parent like me that works from home, no more naps means I have to get creative. Your child may not have entirely given up the nap but he or she may have days where the nap just doesn’t happen. If you are beginning to see that your child is having a “no nap” day , relax. Have her stay in her room with books to look at. Let her pick out a few toys to bring in her room with her. Put a digital clock in her room and tell her that she has to stay in her room until the clock reads “2:00″. Even if your child doesn’t nap anymore it’s a good idea to create some down time in the middle of the day so there’s less chance of grumpy or whiney encounters.
