[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an almost 5.5 year old still in full day daycare. Her whole class is 5 (just missed K cutoff class) and they are all required by local DC regulation To nap/ be on a cot for no less than 2 hours. Talk about messing up nighttime sleep. It’s totally normal and can be frustrating but not much you can do to fight it. [/quote] It’s seriously messed up that you’re keeping your kid in this situation and convincing yourself it’s normal. A 5 year old doesn’t need any nap! It’s so lazy that you’re just accepting treating your kid like a toddler because it’s easier. Why not find a transitional kindergarten program? A nanny share? Something. At least try. [/quote] In PP’s defense, if DC is otherwise happy and assuming DC will go to kindergarten in the fall, it would be nuts to just pull her from daycare. With daycare, it’s always *something*. That’s just the reality of group care. Also, there’s a pandemic. Even pre-pandemic you couldn’t just snap your fingers and find childcare.[/quote]
