Helping parents understand

[apples and bananas]

First of all, parents work around my sleep schedule, I don't work around thiers. For example, I'm transitioning a new 1 year old in. Mom says he sleeps twice a day but the times vary. I've asked her to wake him up as if they are going to work so he's used to the morning wake up. Then put him down around 9:15 after a quick snack, but wake him up 45 min later so he goes down again no later then 1pm. This way he starts to loose his morning nap and we can back up his afternoon to noon with the rest of my crew. They work towards my schedule. I have 5 kids some days. CAn you imagion working on every one of their individual schedules? I'd constantly be up and down the stairs!
