[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t read all the replies but just saw that your hyperactive kids “don’t nap”. A 2 year old and a 4 year old definitely need to nap, especially if they’re hyperactive. Mine were always happy to listen to stories unless they were tired.[/quote] A 4, almost 5 year old doesn’t need to nap. Come on, plenty of kids have definitely dropped the nap by that age. Sorry OP, I don’t have suggestions for you. My boys are the same ages and also pretty rambunctious but have loved being read to since they were babies. We read multiple times a day. When they are acting super silly and running around for bedtime book, we do just tell them “ok you may either snuggle with dad and read or it’s time to go up to bed now.” They always choose to calm their bodies and snuggle to delay going up to bed.[/quote]
