[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m all for earlier bedtimes compared to most but if your kid is napping at daycare you need to plan on a later bedtime.

I’d aim for in bed at 8/815 lights out 830-845. 
If she doesn’t nap on weekends then in bed at 645-7 lights out by 715. 
At this point the habits she’s created of stalling on nap days are habits on no nap days too. You need to break the cycle. 
Maybe put a small toy or piece of candy in sight in her room bur out of reach. Tell her if she doesn’t get up until morning she can have it. BUT set her up for success, not in bed at 730 when she’s had a 2 hour nap. [/quote]

I don’t think’s ready for the delayed gratification reward. She’s not even motivated by things like sticker charts. She IS motivated by candy but that’s obviously not an option. 😂

We have been trying various bedtimes over the past three months. We adjust the routine and give it several days and see no difference. The routine is consistent.  She has just now, at 10:30, set up her blanket on the floor and tucked herself in for bed.  [/quote]
