[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. How much experience with kids dropping naps does your nanny have? Has she tried it with your twins and then realized that they are too grumpy (possibly leading to meltdowns due to lack of sleep)? Many parents seem to feel that dropping a nap is the best way to help kids sttn, but most nannies know that sttn is developmental, and sleep begets sleep. I've worked with several parents who wanted their kids to learn to sttn or keep sttn, and they tried to eliminate a nap to do so, and it usually backfires. When kids get too tired, they're harder to put to bed, they fight sleeping, but when their schedule continues and they are tired but not feeling sleep-deprived, bedtime can be a breeze. I wish you luck, but I would recommend talking to your nanny. What harm could 2 naps possibly do for 17 month old twins?[/quote]
