Hi there everyone!
So I've been reading that some of you have quiet time for all your children even if they no longer nap, and I'm wondering how you do it...
Do you have separate bedrooms for all of the kids? Do you have some sharing? Which age groups mix the best?
I have 3 3 year olds, one naps (usually the longest of my mappers), and 2 under 2. The 2 older ones who don't nap are starting to need breaks from each other, and I'm starting to need a break from both of them. I just have a feeling that if I were to have them have quiet time together, they'd just play, and I really think that they both need some downtime, even if they aren't napping. I'm tempted to put the 2 under 2 down together, as they normally nap for similar lengths of time, but I know if one got up early the other would too.
I have also been going in whenever one of them wakes up (rather than having a set nap time and everyone stays in their room for that long), I'm not sure if that was a rookie mistake or not.
Any suggestions on how to go about starting a routine quiet time?
