I am like mommaL and crayolakiddies, I accommodate morning naps. I usually get them down for a 30-45min nap right in the morning and have them finished by 930. As they get older and start weaning off them, I cut it down to 20-30 mins. It's so much easier to do this than deal with a tired cranky child IMO. And other than summer, we aren't outside that early in the morning anyways so it really doesn't disrupt my routine. If it is summer, I just rearrange our schedule as needed. If it means missing an outing than so be it....chances are that child wouldn't be able to stay happy throughout it anyways lol
I think some parents really don't value sleep as much as their child does/needs and I feel that sleep is important and vital to a child's day and attitude.
It also gives me some time with the older kids to do things that the younger kids aren't into so it's a win win![]()
