with most kids (most kids!) you will notice when trying to re-train (after an ill-ness/spoiled period) or just train (coming into daycare and not having solid nap pattern) they will have "trickle" down response to napping at the time of YOUR choosing! The first day they will cry for 1 hour then lay down or fall asleep, the second day 45 min, the third 30 min and so on, until they LEARN that time is nap time, and they are "programmed" to follow through. BUT, you cant give in, if you do...you risk starting all over!!!!!!
