Parent Wants Short Naps

[Peacefulbird]

To view things better, I usually see it from both sides (that helps me to do an unbiased judgment) so, sometimes I think as a provider and sometimes as a parent.

And yes, I respect every child uniqueness (each develop differently, and some have more needs than others)

I have a good communication with the parents, which is really important in raising a child together. I everyday ask how their child slept (because that will help me to know , what kind of day I'll have ahead).

As soon as a parents tell me that a three year old is going late to bed then the naps get shorter aND eventually no nap (working towards transactionin to go to school), if toddlers are having difficulty going to bed at night then it is time to change the schedule and put them to nap earlier so they're tired at night bed time (usually 6:30 7:00 they're sleeping through the night).

If a baby finds difficult to sleep or is weating up at mid night full of energy, then is a sign to 1. Slowly transition to only one nap. Or 2. Suggest to parents to do it.

If only having one long nap interferes with their night sleep then definitely the schedule in daycare changes (putting then to sleep earlier).

My program is tailoring each child's needs not a parents demand or neither my own need. When everything goes smootH everyone is happy. And obviously there isn't a need to think that they will pull their child because parents request weren't followed. You did your best and that's what it counts.

Happy kids, happy parents.
