Some questions from a Newbie!

What do you do? Exactly what you are doing. Except you tell the parents only if they ask that the children rested on their cots (or wherever) because that is the rule for quiet/nap time. They read, they played games, puzzles, etc. Do NOT tell them if the children sleep.

We all know that if children fall asleep then their bodies need the rest but if they don't fall asleep that's ok too, but children must be quiet at pretty much all of our daycare for the sake of the smaller children who must sleep.

Sometimes we tell the parents what they want to hear and mysteriously the children are sleeping better at night and going to bed without any problems. It's psychological for the parents, so if we keep them calm and happy the children don't feel any stress. Make sense? Happier families! Don't lie, just omit a couple of things!
