I am new to offering care. I have only had a couple of clients previously. One mom contacted me recently, and things seem pretty good. However, she said that she still lays with her 3 yo to get him to sleep in the afternoon. She feels that he definitely still needs a nap. I would not be able to lay with a child for nap time (even my own) while caring for the rest.

How would you approach this?my thought is to just teach him to have quiet time, and if he is really tired, I would think he will learn to put himself to sleep. Is this wishful thinking? Any advice?

Thanks
