I stop naps the summer before they go to school. NOw that they have full day kindergarten, it's not in the childs best interest ( in my opinion ) to still be in that habit.

Just like we expect parents to prepare their child at 12 months for our routine, I try to prepare children for the schools routine. It makes the transition easier.

I still require "quiet time" The big kids are away from the sleeping area and have an assortment of things to play with until quiet time is over. Some days I take them outside, but it's still quiet activities.
