Morning nap question

[Crayola kiddies]

I had the same issue with the most recent one I started ... She napped from 930-1030 in the am and them from 2- whenever in the aft ... I told the parents to start moving the naps earlier by 15 mins a week as I wanted the child to go down from 8-845 so that she would be ready for aft nap at 1230 but they never did so when the child started I put her to bed at 8 and usually she only feel asleep at 830 then I woke her up at 845 ... I only did that due about a week then I said forget it and I just stopped napping in the am and persevered through the crying and now a month later and the child just goes to bed at 1230. So to the original poster , I would say put the kid to bed as soon as you can in the am and just let sleep for 30 mins just so they can make it through the morning and still be ready to nap in the aft with the rest of the kids. I also would just say to the parent ... Oh Sally had a good morning and afternoon nap blah blah blah
