[quote=Anonymous]You have to drop the nap. Of course he’s going to ask for it back so just prepare for a few days of adjustment. You could start by shortening the nap rather than eliminating it. Be firm in getting him up after 1.5 hours, then 1.25 hours, then 1, then 45 minutes, then no nap. This will naturally create a sleep deficit that he will start to make up over night. Waking up so early is a classic symptom of asking a kid to sleep too many hours in a 24 hour day. He’s almost 4 so it’s unsurprising he’s having this issue— most kids don’t nap or don’t nap so long by that age.[/quote]
