[quote=Anonymous]You are missing her sleep window. Move the the time back 5 minutes every night until you find the sweet spot. Many 4 year olds don’t need that nap or quiet time. I actually skipped a great preschool because they included a THREE hour nap for 4 year olds, and the havoc that would wreak on our evenings wasn’t worth it. So find the sweet spot. We used to literally not bother to put our kids to bed if we missed the window. So if their bedtime was 8, and for whatever reason they weren’t in bed by then, we waited until 9:30 for the next cycle. Sounds crazy, but trying to force them into bed at 8:30 meant them rolling around and talking until 11.[/quote]
