POLL: At what age did your child give up their afternoon nap?

At what age did your child give up their afternoon nap -- or, switch to an every-other-day or so afternoon nap schedule?

*I work with children. I'm asking because I'm trying to get statistics on averages, not because I need to know if my kids/kids are care for are normal.

Thanks! :)

    both my children were different my 9 year old son napped till he was about 4 years old. now my daughter is now 4 going on 5 and she naps faithfully everyday. so i think it just varies on the child cause not only does my daughter still take her afternoon nap but she still goes to bed at 7 pm and sleeps till 6:30 am.

    My daughter is 22 months old, and up until about 1 - 1/2 months ago napped everday at the same time. now she MIGHT nap twice a week and about 3 hrs later than she used to. Mostly she'll pass out in her highchair for a power nap around 3 pm, which lasts 1 hr MAX.

    My children took two naps a day until they were two and then they went to just taking one nap a day. They are three and a half and still need and hour and a half nap every afternoon to keep them going and happy.

    At 2 1/2 we still have our afternoon nap/rest time. Her preschool has nap time, so we keep the same schedule at home.

    My older boys who are almost 4 and 5 still take a nap around 3. Otherwise they are whiny, moody monsters until bedtime.

    I do child care. I stop their naps by age 4. To prepare them for school.
