It is frustrating to have to explain things to my mom about my children
My 4 year old has dropped daytime naps for a while, like probably a year now.
And now my 2 year old is dropping all naps. She just doesn’t nap, I’ll lay her down and she doesn’t nap. But she’s not cranky. She is off of the pacifier and adjusting to regulating emotions so she does have little outbursts.
My mom chimes in with “she needs a nap” and I say “no she has dropped naps, she does not nap anymore. She is working through her emotions.”
And she has to keep on with it. “Kids need naps to develop.” And like very cool, but my kids’ pediatrician says it’s fine, as long as they’re getting enough sleep at night. And they get 12-14 hours of sleep at night. Pediatrician said it was fine.
