[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised by how many of you just accept this screwed up rule that messes with your child’s sleep cycle!  It’s not anti-daycare-worker to want healthy sleep for our kids.

This is why daycares need federal assistance.  Hire more workers and keep costs low.

Is it healthy sleep? Kids in Spain have a long middle of the day nap and go to sleep late. I think it's more about you wanting free childcare and "me time" at the end of the day. [/quote] and kids in England stop napping at 2-3 and go to bed at 7...... none of that is relevant. [/quote]

Kids need a fair amount of sleep, but after toddlerhood, it can be divided into one or two segments.  The idea that taking a nap and actually spending time with your parents in the evening is "unhealthy sleep" is ridiculous.  Now, it's possible that OP is a crappy parent and her kid wouldn't benefit from the evening with her, but generally kids do benefit from time with their parents.  And yes, if your kid hasn't been napping they'll have a few cranky days as they adjust. Same is true the other way.  [/quote]
