[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An 8 yr old is really too old for "resting time." By the time both my daughters were 3 they didn't nap at all during the day, so if you tried to tell them at 8 it was resting time they'd say, "Maybe babysitting isn't for you if you need to go take a rest." They wouldn't even initially understand that you mean for THEM to rest. Instead, it'd make a lot more sense for you to schedule a play date from like, 2-5pm, so the kid can play with her friend and you can just watch them. As in, they go play in the back yard and you sit on the patio with a drink. Or they run off to play in the girl's room, and you collapse on the sofa for a half hour. Stay awake though. [/quote] We had quiet hour after lunch every day until I was 12. I don't think 8 is too old for some downtime.[/quote]
