    Sleep begets sleep and I would bet my last dollar he is so over tired that the neurons in his brain simply can not settle long enough for him to get any sort of quality length of sleep.

    If he were here I would put him down to sleep the second he gets here. 8am, tops. I would have him sleep at least an hour, and yes, you might have to allow some extra time for him to CIO until he actually goes to sleep and sleeps for an hour. So, if that means as soon as he gets there then so be it. And then nap him again in the afternoon.

    He sounds like the classic over-tired kid. If you get him sleeping MORE and on a more frequent basis I will bet that before long he will be an awesome napper.

    He did wind up sleeping for a total of about 2 hours in the end. He, I would imagine, got bored of sitting in the dark staring at nothing and just went under. I'm hopeful that if I continue to ignore his demands, he'll just give up. He doesn't really cry much....just complains really.

    LOL....Judy, I have no issues with CIO. I used it with my kids and continue to coach parents who are following my lead. I've spent many texting conversations with parents as they sat outside their nursery door agonizing over their crying kids, encouraging them to hang in there. So far, every one of my families has been astonished and grateful.

    I think earlier I was just feeling terribly frustrated. Thanks for reminding me ladies

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
