[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been with my charges for over a year and recently I found that we don’t follow the same schedule. I plan outings in the morning, typically between 9:30-12 (we eat lunch at 12 no later than 12:30) and then nap after lunch. The mom does nap at like 11 and then the children eat lunch after nap, or they will eat lunch at 11 and go down around 11:30. AND sometimes he’s getting 2 naps a day. I just feel like the children should stick to the same schedule, regardless of who’s caring for them. It doesn’t matter which schedule, although, at this age (19 mo) I feel that the typical napping time is 12:30/1-3:00. Please note that the oldest child (19 mo) is always tired and I feel that part of it is because the napping times are all over the place and because the oldest is taking early naps, he’s tired early and that’s what throws off his bedtime (the child is restless at night). In the beginning they would follow my lead but lately they’ve just been doing their own thing, which causes our morning outings to be chaotic and at times makes me not even want to take them out- it’s embarrassing (him hollering, kicking and screaming because he’s tired). I am only with the children 4 days out the week. I don’t know what to do because it’s been an issue for some time and know I’m realizing why, when we’re out, he’s normally sleeping when he’s with his mom. I’ve preached a lot about being on a schedule and sticking to it so idk... i just let him holler because it’s not fair for him to take time away from his sister who LOVES to be outdoors!!
