I need some help. How do you get your kids to take a nap? My son is almost two and won’t take a nap until it’s around 2 in the afternoon and sleeps until 6. I feel like he’s sleeping to late. Am I wrong?
What I did is I laid my child down and if she didn't nap then I made her stay up until her bedtime. She now wakes up at 5am eats lunch at 11:15ish and lays down right after lunch. She wakes up from nap at 1:30-2ish then goes to bed at 7:30.
Oh and my daughter starts the bedtime routine at 8pm so is in bed by 8:30-9. She knocks out quick for that.
Try putting him to nap around 12-1. Don't let him nap past 4. It might set his bedtime back a bit though. Sounds like he's over tired for nap. What I do with my daughter is she's up at 8am. Has lunch at 12 then after we do quiet time which is usually books or an episode of cartoons then I lay her down around 1ish. She will complain for a bit but knock out and wake around 3:30. It was tough at first but after remaining consistent it's gotten better. (:
@babynessa, that sounds like a smart idea. Thanks!!
