Toddler nap
My child is almost 3 and naps have become awful. Her sleep has always been awful. When she does nap its about 2-3 hours then she will sleep at 11pm and wake up at 9am. And yes I have cut down the naps to an hour and she will still sleep at 11pm and wake up at 8:30 or 9am. I am trying my best to get her down for sleep at 9pm. It seems impossible. I feel like its time to cut the nap completely because I spend an hour or 2 rocking her. I have tried a dark room and laying her down and she refuses. I have tried to lay down with her in her bed and that takes hours! This kid is so active we can spend hours outside or inside doing activities. She use to get a lot of screen time about 6-8 months ago. We have cut it out completely. I have wind down our activities to calming things before the nap and shes still super active. Any tips?
