I am transitioning a one-year old into care who is not napping! Even worse is that she screams the entire time which wakes up the other kids in my home. I am a new daycare provider and have never experienced this before. I feel terrible making the kids cry it out, but from all the information I've gathered from talking to other dcp it's the best and only option. Last week I tried consoling/reassuring her every 15mnutes or so but that only seemed to make the situation worse.
Naptime is from 1-3 which I think is reasonable.
I should also mention that when we go out to the park, etc. in the mornings she falls asleep in the stroller almost immediately. From everything I"ve read though, one year-olds still need a short morning nap as well as an afternoon nap.
Any advice would be very much appreciated!
