[quote=Anonymous]I'm an after-school nanny for a little 5yo in kindergarten and his older sister and when I started, I was surprised to learn that he still takes a nap most days. This seemed very unusual to me as in my experience kids generally drop the nap by age 3-4. The usual daily schedule is: pick him up from school at 11:30, finish snack by 12, playtime until 12:30, then he goes right down for a nap (usually eagerly). He will sleep the entire 1.5 hours until I need to wake him to go pick up his sister at 2:30.. and even then, sometimes he is still so tired that he refuses to get up and will throw a tantrum. In all my experience, sleeping is the part that gets resisted, not waking up to play. I have no idea what his nightly sleep habits are. Does anyone else have experience with children over 4yo taking naps?[/quote]
