Nap issues. AGAIN!!!!

[Wonderwiper]

I tell all parents during interviews that nap time is not an option. I honestly don't care if they sleep or not but everyone is in a bed for quiet time.

I would explain that quiet time is mandatory. All children need to rest their bodies and minds.

Children that age that "won't go to bed until 9:30" are often over tired or simply playing games trying to get more attention from mom and dad. As if a 17 month old says "Mommy, I'm not going to bed until 9:30". Put her to bed and she will soon learn that bedtime is when Mommy says, end of story. Mom is letting her stay up late.
