[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DW lays in bed with 4 year old DS at nap time. She says that it's because he won't go to sleep otherwise, but in truth, I think she just likes it. Problem is that I think he's getting a bit old for that, and her constant presence is preventing him from developing the independence on how to do it on his own. Is this a problem? Will this prevent him from developing the independence he needs to handle nap time on his own? [/quote] He'll be outgrowing nap soon. Most 4 year olds don't have some magical independence that lets them nap on their own. They just don't nap. So, he's not missing some critical skill, and there's no chance this will last forever. Let this happen it's a nice time together, and she's probably using it as an excuse to get some needed rest. Lots of women do a terrible job of taking care of their own needs, so this is great.
