My older kid who will start kindergarten this fall still naps on weekends. On school/ camp days when there’s no nap he’s ready for bed by 6:30pm.
My younger one just turned 3 and naps are hit or miss - maybe naps 5 days a week.

All 4 kids napped until they turned 5 ... until 4 naps were consistent. between 4-5yo they all slept at preschool but at home on the weekends it was about 50-50 chance of actually sleeping. If they didn't sleep they did quiet time for an hour.

My 6.5 year old stopped when we moved to our new house when he was 3.5, though he would still fall asleep if he was in the car around nap time.

DD is almost 3.5 and has been fighting her naps since we moved her to a bed about a month ago. She is a holy terror even with a 2.5 hour nap and 11-12 hours of nighttime sleep so the last month has been...interesting.

I do agree that american kids tend to give up naps sooner, but I don't think we could have functioned as a couple if our kids didn't go to bed until 9 or 10.

A week after I brought from our second baby. He was three.

My 6 year old and 4 year old still nap.

Swapped the nap for "quiet time" a bit before 3.

She was more relaxed and better-behaved than when we tried to get her to sleep. Fighting it just made her mentally exhausted and cranky at the world. She did usually need some down time in the early afternoon, but actual sleep rarely happened. 30-45 minutes in a dim, quiet room with a pile of books was usually enough.

5yo still happily naps for 45 minutes if we're in the car

3yo naps for 2 hours daily but would sleep for 2.5-3 if we let him

DD1 at 3, just stopped falling asleep at nap time. DD2 napped until 4.5 and would have gladly kept napping but was staying awake until 10pm so I finally, sadly, stopped giving her naps to regain a decent bedtime.

My kid is 4 (+ 2 months) and still naps every day!

Not. Fun.

Definitely was cheerier on the rando nap day.

My first didn't give it up until she started kindergarten and even now occasionally naps on weekends (hell now that she's in summer camp and we go swimming on the weekends, she naps almost every Saturday and Sunday - she's 6). My younger child is probably going to give it up soon, she just turned three.

Exactly 3. When he got his bed as a birthday gift and was out of the sleep sack. It took about two weeks for him to get used to it.

Both around 2 months before they turned 3.
