So Mamas and Papas out there in cyber world, I have a question for you all… at what point did your kid or kids stop napping? IMG_69143036398948

I was reading a blog post from The Baby Gizmo Compay that I subscribe to on Facebook. http://blog.babygizmo.com/2014/01/child-ready-give-naps/ and it made me wonder if I should still be pushing the naps for my 5 year old. My daughter is in full day kindergarten and is in bed by 830-900pm every night because she gets up at 6am every morning. On the weekends we sometimes let her stay up later. But there are some days when she falls asleep on her own on both school an non school nights. And then there are those days she shows signs of needing a nap. Days when I use the old “because I said so!” Because she fights it like crazy. IMG_69192190130059

My little guy is only 3 and still takes naps 95% of the time. If he misses a nap… oh boy! Mommys in for it and Mr. D is off to bed early! So back to my question… at what point did you give up the fight for naps?

    No advice regarding my own kiddos just yet. However, I’ve been nannying off and on for many more years than I’d like to admit (more than a decade, eek!) and I think every child is different. Some children stop “needing” nap time at 2.5-3 while others need it until they’re 5-6, or even older. I think the important part is to play off of your child’s cues. You know them better than anyone! And always keep in mind what works for a child one day may not work the next – the joys of parenthood, right?
