Is your toddler fighting their Nap?

First off, it is quite rare that a child under the age of 3 does not need a nap. Many children still need a nap between the ages of 3 – 4. However, it is very common that toddlers go through stages of resisting the nap (it can often happen for several days in a row).

However, if your child is age 3 or under in particular, they may not be dropping the nap. I successfully bring back the nap for the vast majority of under 3’s I work with as taking away the nap prematurely can cause sleep concerns of their own.
