[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand the American obsession with naps. The majority of kids I know stopped napping between 2 yr 10 months and 3.5 years. They go to bed at 7.30pm and wake up at 7am. That’s enough sleep. They don’t need a nap too. Never heard of 3-5 year olds napping at school/daycare until I moved to the United States. My kids were little in my home country. After 2 years old it is up to the parents if kids nap or not if they ate in a daycare setting. After 3 or 3.5 no one naps anymore as that is a preschool or school setting. Of course some kids nap longer, they are all different. But why do so many daycares force it? OP I’ve had many friends fa in your situation. As soon as they stopped napping the kids went to sleep at a normal time again. It is not about tiring them out, it is because they don’t need a nap!

The daycare does not force it. The daycare is required by licensing law to offer the nap. Some will let them do quiet time instead though. But you must have a scheduled nap time per licensing rules. [/quote]
