I can't get Eliška to take naps anymore. I guess it's normal, she is almost 3 and a half. She's pretty good though, I'll let her pick out a movie so that I can still get some things done. When did your kids stop napping?
Oh, sad sad day! Here's what we did with Alli when she stopped taking naps (it was at least a year ago -- I can't remember exactly). We bought an egg timer that she calls her "napper" and we set it for an hour everyday. It's her quiet time (and my sanity time!) It worked for us, because she loved having her own special napper that she could set herself. Good luck!
Both my girls stopped around 3.5 yrs. But they are good with quiet time and if I need to, I just go in my room, lie down, take a nap, basically ignore them, and then clean up the aftermath later! Good Luck!
Kids stop taking naps shortly before they don't need them anymore. There is great stretch of time when they need them so badly, but they refuse and are just grumpy from 2 - bedtime. At least that is how my kids are. Atticus still needs naps 5 out of 7 days of the week, but he thinks he is too old.
My kids pretty much stopped when they were 2. They probably still needed them however I loved being able to put them to bed early and have them go right to sleep. Then it was free time for me!
