Agreed I am very passionate about protecting the sleep of children ~ I get so frustrated when parents confuse the normal stage of 'sleep time resistance' at around age 3 with no longer NEEDING a nap .... I would not have signed on if they 'expected' me to keep their kid UP/ENGAGED the entire day because I truly believe children NEED to at the very least rest their body in the afternoon so they are in a state to 'sleep if needed'.

Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."
