Poor little guy.

I've had over-tired children before. It's so frustrating because we're the ones who see them falling asleep during lunch and dealing with the meltdowns and tantrums because they are so tired they can't manage their emotions. My heart just breaks for them. It's often those parents that want you to forgo the nap too so that they can fall asleep earlier.

Sleep is so important for a child's health, brain development, and emotional well-being. I just don't understand why so many people don't value it.
