Kids that dont sleep3/27/2023 ![]() ![]() The most obvious sign that your toddler is ready to drop a nap is that they give you a really hard time going down for one. ![]() That said, here’s how to tell if your toddler should stop napping: “This break not only helps the whole family, but also will give him time to fall asleep if he is especially tired on a given day or had difficulty sleeping the night before.” Florencia Segura of Einstein Pediatrics suggests to Romper that toddlers can instead be told to spend an hour or so in their room doing quiet activities, like reading books or playing with toys. If you do still need a break, and you feel like they still need at least a little rest, try replacing nap time with quiet time. It’s better for both of you to just drop that nap. I know it’s tempting to keep trying to force naps on them - trust me, I’m already worried about what I’m going to do when my 9-month-old daughter (who already isn’t a great napper) drops daytime sleep altogether - but trying to make a toddler take a nap when they don’t want to will result in a lot of tears, tantrums, and unhappiness. Yep, there are a few telltale signs your toddler should stop napping, and it’s important to pay attention to them. But unfortunately, there comes a time in every parenthood journey when your toddler is done with naps, and forcing or pushing for them to take one it isn’t going to make things any better. Your little one gets the opportunity to hit pause on running around all day, and you get your first chance to pee alone. ![]() Naps are a wonderful thing for both an overwhelmed parent and an exhausted child. ![]()
