Cranky after nap

[Lee-Bee]

Does she wake on her own or are you waking her? I've know n some kids that wake as bears and what has worked is slowllllyyyy waking them. So start by opening their door a good half hour before you want them up. Then turn on the light. Then make some noise. Just slowly bring them out of sleep so it's not a sudden wake up.

For kids (people) who just are slow-wakers it is really, really hard to wake and be happy with a rowdy bunch of kids around you.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I think I will just have to make sure I have time for her to get her cuddle time when she needs it. It is frustrating sometimes that I partially opened my daycare so I could stay home with my kids and then not be able to give them the time that they need. But that is life!

She wakes on her own and comes out of her bedroom when she is ready.
