Thanks everyone! I will press on... She has only been coming to me for a month and mostly half days and is picked up before nap time. In January she will be full time and full days so I'm sure it will sort its self out. I'm definitely pro nap but like 5LM says I've never had quite a strong willed non napper! I will press on!!!
Once the child is with you full-time you will notice an improvement.
I have one now who is 27 months who doesn't nap. I've had parents claim that in the past but it's never been true. Once I've worn them out they've always slept but not this child.
In his time here though, he has learned to lay down, be quiet, don't bang his legs and rest. Very occasionally, he'll drop off to sleep for maybe 15 mins but it's really the exception and normally if he's not had a good night sleep at home. He does sleep well and through the night at home and he is tired. His Mom would love him to sleep but he just doesn't. Even at weekends, they put him down in his crib for 2 hours to nap and he just sings or chats to himself.
