What's you nap time policy?

[Fun&care]

I've had issues with my daughter no longer needing a nap otherwise taking forever to fall asleep at night so I sympathize with the parents. What I do with my dd is she still has to go to bed for the first hour of naptime and after that she can stay up and watch TV for the remainder. If she falls asleep, I STILL wake her after an hour otherwise it will mess with her routine again. I haven't done this with any other dck yet but I would offer it to parents whose child can't settle at night with the conditions that the child must remain quiet and that I will ONLY let them watch TV and nothing else, so special activities etc. because after all it IS my break time. If you find that she is cranky it could be because she hasn't settled into the new routine yet but at 3 my belief is that many, not all, but many can ditch the nap.
