Can you help me with Nap time strategies?

I used to tell my oldest that she didn't have to sleep, but she did need to have quiet time. She could look at books or play with Little People or other small toys, but she had to stay in bed. She also knew that she was allowed to get up at 3pm, and she learned what that looked like on the clock. Some days, she didn't sleep at all and just got up at 3:00, but most days, she was out by then and got a decent nap.

With my middle child, she fell asleep best to soft music.

With my youngest, I would usually lie down with him at naptime. I'd lie there and read my book while he snuggled and drifted off to sleep. Sometimes he would look at his own book, too, but usually, he'd settle pretty quickly.

She's reaching the age where she probably doesn't need a nap every day... have you tried just sitting quietly with her, reading some books together, or doing some drawing, or something peaceful where she can calm down and is unlikely to behave badly?

If she seems really tired, then the easiest thing is to strap her in her buggy and go out for a walk. If she's tired enough, the motion will make her drop off. Even if not, it will give her a rest, and some fresh air, and give you some exercise, so it's a win-win situation!

She probably IS ready to drop it. However, calling it a ' resting time' where there are books available and just having 'quiet time' is a good change. 5pm is going to be difficult for the days she doesnt nap but her body will adjust after say, every 3rd day she doesnt nap. Simply stop talking about it, but have maybe anew library book or even a tv program? Maybe a fan for white noise in the room if it is noisy and of course darken a little. Maybe start after a busy day previously when you know she is tired and say ' There is a new book on your bed for you to read and have a quiet time' and simply have her 'collect herself' in a private and secluded way. Understood is that she will go to bed earlier in the eve

My daughter is the same way and she's only 1 lol instead of a nap try telling her it's "quiet time" during that time place her in a quiet roll and play soft music (classical music or lullaby music). If this doesn't work try no music at all. If that doesn't work maybe it is time to let the naps go. But you can still have quiet time. Place her in her bed and play a learning movie or the soft music. It's ok of she doesn't fall asleep. As long as her body has at least an hour of relaxed time she will feel refreshed as if she did take a nap. Remember to remove all distracts out of sight such as her favorite toys.

Use the Super Nanny stay in bed technique. It worked wonders with my niece.
