Is it bad of me??

I agree; let her sleep. I'm caring for a 5 year old boy for the summer who comes along with quite challenging behaviour issues (ironically none of which were disclosed during interviews/paperwork): Peeing his pants, ADHD, extremely picky eater, defient personality, severe speech issues (my husband & I both find ourselves getting headaches from straining to understand him all day). I insist on a quiet time for all my children; irregardless of age. In the case of this little boy WE NEED IT! Lately, he has been falling asleep (for about an hour or so) during his quiet time....which Mom has complained leads to him being up & around all night at home. So, she has asked that I not let him fall asleep. I understand her point, but also stressed that I will not police their quiet time; it's my quiet (break) time too. Only 10 more days with this guy & his sister (who is a great kid)...sounds awful, I know, but I'm so counting down.

WOW! This is exactly like the little guy I'm caring for - regular pee accidents, defiance, anger, won't eat anything unless it's processed, etc etc. Today, I am going to get him to lay down during quiet time and see what happens. SO tough!
