Naptime tips desperately needed!

[Momof4]

I use playpens. When I have a new child I put them in a separate room and I sit beside them and make sure they learn that they have to lay down and stay laying down and there is no other option. I might miss out on most of my breaktime for a week or several weeks depending on the stubbornness of the child but it's worth the effort.

I've had all 5 children falling asleep at the same time for years now. Right now my group all fall asleep within a couple minutes of each other when I lay them in their beds and tuck them in. It's wonderful.
