My toddler does not go down for naps very well. In the last few months I have established what I think is the best way to get your toddler down for a nap.
First of all, must put yourself in their shoes and ask: why don't I want to take a nap today? Because more than likely if your toddler is like mine, your toddler throws fits when it's nap time. Usually toddlers do not want to take naps because that means they mist stop playing, watching T.V. etc. They think they will miss out on something, so it is your job to convince your toddler that nap time is a fun time. It's fun to snuggle under the covers and read nap time stories. It's fun to lay down and dream about imaginary dragons or ice cream trucks or what the weather will be like when you wake up.
How to get my toddler down for a nap is hard, until I learn that they don't want to go down for fear of missing out on fun stuff. Then I just convince them otherwise.
Thanks for reading.
