Do any home daycare providers allow children not to nap? I have a 3.5 year old who likes to nap...but his mom doesn't want him to because he goes to bed later. I have already agreed to wake him up early (at 2)...and he brings his tablet to bed so he can play games or watch shows. Am I being unreasonable wanting him to nap so I can have a break? Or should I do what mom wants? I also don't think that 8:30 is too late for him to go to bed if he's had a nap during the day. Any thoughts?
