They shared a room and had always been together so I knew it would be impossible to get the napper down without the non-napper in there too. So I made it seem like a big deal that they got to have a quiet time downstairs instead of taking a nap...that they were big boys now. Each one would be on a separate couch with all their books and maybe a quiet toy or two and I would sit where I could see them both. The one who needed his nap would always fall asleep and the other one would quietly look at his books and play with his quiet toys. It worked out perfectly for us and we did that for quite a while, even after the napper quit needing his nap...because the mom still needed her quiet time:).Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13255669366828707855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023711147176297629.post-71952045170427836422019-01-02T20:16:54.912-05:002019-01-02T20:16:54.912-05:00UGH it's the worst, especially when you were r...UGH it's the worst, especially when you were really counting on that toddler-free time. She finally took a real nap yesterday, after staying up late and waking up early... So maybe sleep deprivation is the key? But 2.5/3 has generally been the end of naps for us anyway, so it's definitely coming :( Can he have "special toys" he only gets in his room during quiet time? That's worked with some of our kids but it really depends...Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888635342531960478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023711147176297629.post-83729883647016014842019-01-02T19:38:18.549-05:002019-01-02T19:38:18.549-05:00Re: Edith’s nap strike.

My 2.5 year old has gone from daily 2-3 hour naps to taking a single nap in the last 3 weeks. When I put him in his room for “quiet time” he just stands at his door and cries. Please tell me any of your secrets for reclaiming afternoon peace; between this new development and a teething 4 month old we are pretty tired over here!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860503362037421559noreply@blogger.com
