Do toddler daycare naps ruin bedtime in your home?


Perhaps your toddler has stopped napping on the weekends and goes to bed at night pretty well. But your child is napping at daycare during the weekdays, and suddenly, bedtime has become a disaster!


Your sleep training needs a reboot.


You can’t get your toddler down until 9 p.m. or later, and sleep training at bedtime is a battle every night. 


You’re not alone.


When kids transition away from taking naps, it feels like it throws their whole sleep schedule out of whack. It can be the cause of several toddler sleep problems.


I hear this complaint from families all the time. When their child naps at daycare during the week, bedtime is impossible. But on the weekend, with no nap, sleep training, and bedtime, is much easier. 


The challenge is: many daycares are required by state laws or licensing to offer a nap, so it can leave parents in a bit of a pickle. 


But there are ways around this. 


Listen on for tips to help your toddler become an awesome little sleeper.
