3 year olds & naps
Hi
I have a 3 year old who for the past couple of weeks has refused his daytime nap. By about 3pm he gets so grumpy and it deteriorates further from there and I seem to spend most afternoons dealing with tantrums. He just gets so overtired.
It has really affected his mood that he does things that I abhor - hitting/pushing other kids, throwing things in a temper etc -which he has never ever done previous to all this. I feel it is also affecting my relationship with him right now as it is a constant battle and it is getting both of us down.
Does anyone have any experience trying to encourage napping at this age? Any techniques? Or maybe just one-on-one quiet time routines?
Thanks in advance from a frazzled Mom!
