recently he has decided that he will only nap for 60 minutes at nap time. Then spends the rest of the nap time screaming and screatching. My other kiddos are great sleepers and sleep through it, but I am losing my marbles listening to him make that noise for another hour.*
By the way Ermchatts, I just read sgain your posting. If you haven't informed yourself please do so asap. You cannot keep children confined on nap cots or playpens screaming or crying for more than 20 minutes (or it is considered child negligence / abuse). Read the Day Nurseries act. Or CCEYA doc. In this province. I'm sure you'll find similar regulations in your province if you're not from Ontario. That regulation applies for everyone in the childcare sector (homedaycares and centres too), obviously centres are easier they have extra staff but also a lunch break when I was working was just 15 to 30 minutes st the most. Even when everyone naps I had to do reports, monitor sleeping babies, get the afternoon activities ready etc. And I still keep doing the very same in my house.
