    Both of our children were amazing napers, twice a day naps till around 4 yrs old then went down to once a day all the way thru Kindergarten (the program was a full day with naptime after lunch)
    Once we began homeschooling, I adjusted their school day according to what each child needed.
    Merry Christmas
    God Bless

    Ooooo…both my girls stopped napping EARLY! One was about 22 months and second was just past 24 months. They still had a quiet time in their room where they could play quietly and read or whatever. Their rooms were sparse with toys and everything was secured to the walls. Doing home daycare I really needed the break in the 10 hour day🤣😜🤣

    I just love how happy your girl's sweet faces are. My kids all stopped napping at different ages. My oldest napped until kindergarten and my youngest refused to nap after 18 months old. It's so hard to know. Each kid is so different. I cried when my daughter stopped napping at 18 months haha. I was tired and wanted that couple of hours. Once I came to terms it was fine, I just was bummed my kid free productivity time was gone. Eventually I figured it out, it was just a transition I wasn't expecting so early.

Merry Christmas to you and your family.!!!

    She’s starting to meet those milestones that Neurotypical kids are meeting. About three is when my son’s started boycotting their naps too! First it was that morning nap so we altered their schedule just a little bit so that we could try and get a longer afternoon nap in. That also only lasted for a little while before even afternoon naps were off the books.

    • @leighannsays
      @leighannsays  День назад +12

      yeah that’s what my mom is saying too. She’s been a one nap girl for a long time but she needs them. I think she has to work a lot harder than other kids physically to just be awake and playing (not counting all her therapy) so she needs those long naps. Truthfully I think something is going on with her but I’m hopeful it’s just standard 3 year old stuff 💙

    • @meremorris2013
      @meremorris2013 День назад +2

      @ that’s probably 100% true. Our pediatrician recommended Neuro swamps I think she called them. My seven-year-old still has trouble winding down at the end of the night so we try and do something short that is mentally and physically demanding on him so he will start shutting his own brain down when we’re done. For us it’s a dance party or he will act out the book that we’re reading. Obviously would be tailored a little bit different for Lucy, but I’m sure you’ll get it mama! You are absolutely amazing with her and for her and you always figure it out! She is just so smart and has so much going on in her brain she cannot quiet it down to go to sleep!

    I want to say I take my Pomchi to see Santa yearly. It's a fun time for him and me. For medical reasons, I had a hysterectomy when I was in my early 20s, so I'll never have kids. Adoption is not on the table. I am single and struggling myself. Anyway, I've followed you for a very long time. I love your vlogs, Leighann, and your girls are growing so fast. They are absolutely adorable. I love, love, love the Christmas decorations.

    My daughter dropped her nap right around her 3rd birthday. First it started with her fighting the nap, then it started affecting her bed time. We had to make her bed time earlier when she dropped the nap for good. It’s been over a year and she still naps sometimes if we have a really busy day. I just have come to accept that most of the time, if she does nap, bed time is gonna be a struggle that night. It is what it is. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    My toddler is the same age as Ms. Lucy and we went through the nap boycott a few months back. It was HARD to figure out, But honestly it's a lot easier in many ways because we can plan for it now. Her bedtime is much earlier w/o naps. Generally it's best to still offer the nap if possible. So we ask ours if she wants nap or quiet time. The holidays are hard for sure.

      I’m sorry it came off like I don’t think there should be pet days with santa, I was just highlighting the fact that there are way more pet days compared to the very few hours they dedicate to kids with disabilities and sensory sensitivities to see santa. I would never want you to miss out on having that special moment ❤️

      @@huck9750 She meant there should probably be more than 4 Caring Santa times, as there are multiple entire days that are for pets. Everyone understands people want pictures of their pets with Santa. She isn't wanting to take away from that. Just wants more of the Caring Santa times. Seems obvious. She replies in another comment and says exactly that.
