My story about: Napping for Toddlers
CallMeMama's story
July 20, 2007
My first son gave up naps at around three years of age. So, I wasn't surprised that lately my 2-year-old is showing the same signs.
But just like most kids his age, he thinks that he doesn't need to take naps any more, but let's face it; he still a tad too young to know what's best for him.
Part of the problem is that he is in a big-boy bed that he can get out of. And I'll admit after putting him back in it 20 times a day, I tend to give up and give in.
So that's what I have been doing--not fighting it, and the only reason why I'm giving in is because he always ends up taking one on his own. I'll find him asleep on the couch or curled up on the floor with his blanket and "Woof Woof." A couple of times I tried to move him to his bed, but he ended up waking up so now I just let him be.
"Whatever works" is my mama moto. He's getting the nap he needs and I don't have to fight him on it.
