[quote=Anonymous]Children do not "give up" on their naps at that age. Do some reading. Inexperienced parents let them do that and there is no shame in that, it just comes with experience. I completely understand parents who do not wish to fight but please know that you only need to fight a few times and then the naps will start happening. Also, remember about all that brain development that happens during sleep. I know lots of kids who do not nap on weekends with the parents but DO nap in childcare settings, or with nannies, so it's more of the behaviour thing rather than "giving up". Very small percentage of children don't need nap at 2,5, in my 20+ yrs as a teacher 90% napped just fine in a daycare center. And, the worst behaving children typically didn't nap over weekend and were exhausted, napped at school better than others. And yes, of course all sleep training was happening after the parents asked to try and sleep train. Most parents wanted to.[/quote]
