Napping for Toddlers
Do you think having a set time every day for toddler's naps is a good idea?
How hard is that to keep?
It's a good idea to have a set time for naptime, although it never fails -- your child will almost certainly be invited to a birthday party that runs during naptime. Why parents schedule parties at naptime (mid-morning to early afternoon) is a mystery but it happens. If you are a strict nap schedule parent, then your kid will probably miss a good majority of his friends' toddler parties. If you give in and let them go, you will probably pay for it that evening because they will crash in the car on the ride home and sleep until 4:30 or 5 then wake up with tons of energy and it will be difficult to get them to bed that night. Add cake, punch and a jumper to the equation and you can kiss the rest of your weekend good-bye.
