2 1/2 year old thinks he is done napping
« on: September 14, 2012, 00:22:44 am »
My 2 1/2 year old doesn't want to nap anymore.  I have got him to where he will at least stay in his bed for a good 45 min- 1 hour.  He is manic by dinner time and is totally wired by EBT.  Any tips tricks to get him to continue napping?  I really feel like 3 is the earliest kids should stop napping.

What time does he normally wake and what time are you trying to get him to nap?  When you do an EBT what time is that at?

It was around this age that we pushed naptime back by about an hour and we cap after 30 minutes so that we still have a decent bedtime.  Also on no nap days she goes to bed atleast an hour early, if not more.

He is up around 6:30/45.  Bedtime is 8.  He used to nap around 12:30, but has gotten pushed back to around 1/1:30 because he doesn't seem tired.  I also have a 7 month old that is doing the 2 nap thing, so I think I am screwing him up a little bit by packing up and going out at 11, when  he really should be winding down.  SO yesterday I stayed in and we had a normal lunch time, and down for nap at 12:30, but still no luck.  I just can't seem to find that window where he is tired...

Oh, and EBT would be 7:30, a 1/2 hour early.  He usually does pretty fine without a nap, just gets more hyper before bed.

I agree sounds like he is transitioning, what worked for us was to push that nap back by an hour (so in your case till 1:30) and then we woke her after 30 min so bedtime was still reasonable.
