I look after a 3 year old. Apparently at home she doesn't want to go to bed for the last month or so - she will cry, say she doesn't want to go to bed, play in her bed, make up a million excuses like I'm thirsty, bored, not tired, etc. Mom figures its because she no longer needs a nap and has told me she does NOT want me to allow this kid to nap. When this child not get a nap she is super cranky and is just awful to deal with. Mom says, 'she will adjust and get used to it.' This kid will actually tell me she's tired and wants a nap. I asked mom if she thinks it is a phase or perhaps due to the fact that mom and dad are at her beck and call all night if she wants to get in with them, wants a drink, wants a different teddy bear/pillow. Mom says of course not she just needs to give up her nap. So frustrating.
