Naptime Crying....tough love?
So, I have a 4 year old who has begun crying (and let me tell you, she's LOUD!) during naps. I understand that she's 4 and has less need to nap. I'm fine with that, but EVERYone here is and has always been obliged to lie down and relax. At 4, if they are outgrowing naps, they must lie down for 1/2 hour. If after that time, they are unable to sleep, they get books, puzzles, etc on their mattress.
This girl understands what she must do for that privilege, but usually can't make it 5 minutes without screaming to pee (she goes 3 times after lunch and before naps) to have a tissue, or for mom. She is playing games, and I know it. SO my question is, today she has been crying for 10 minutes now. I don't see any reason to go see her. She knew the deal. Am I wrong in just ignoring her. It sucks if she wakes up the others, but maybe it's worth it, if she gets that I'm just not going up there....any thoughts???
