When did your toddler stop napping?

My oldest daughter napped until she was 3 years old, now she is 6. My middle and youngest still nap at times and they are 3 & 4. I think it all depends on the child. My oldest did not need naps once she turned 3, she wasn't cranky and she was an easy child all together. My younger two need more sleep and do get cranky without their naps. They look for their naps. There would be no choice if my children took a nap or not. If they needed a nap they will be getting one. It will make them happier and me happier. Lol.

My toddler stopped napping regularly when she was 3 years old. She is more active and wants to play more during the day. However, she gets enough 8-10 hours of sleep at night. When she's too tired, though, she takes a 2-3 hour nap at late afternoon.

i think it depends on the child. both my daughters napped until they were 4. i guess i was lucky that way. but i think your child is about the age when most stop napping. you can still have a quiet time. give him books to 'read' and music to listen to. tell him that even if he doesn't nap, he still needs some time to just relax and chill for an hour or so every afternoon.

hi mermaid ivy my child is an adult b ut he got done with naps about the same time yours did.,but I made him take a qu iet time to just relax and play of listen to musicn even if he did not sleep. but I imagine all children have different times wqhen they start refusing naps,.

Mine is 2 1/2 and still naps most of the time. He gets really cranky if he misses it but sometimes he sure fights or we are somewhere and it is not possible. I try to keep him on a regular schedule and that includes a nap. Everyone day is more pleasant when he has nap.- especially mine!

In my case, I forced my child to stop napping at the age of 4. Since she has a case of ADHD (attention deficit hyperacitivity disorder), i need to wear her out through the day so she won't have uninterrupted sleep during the night.

My three yr old still naps for half an hour everyday but I think that ends around the age of four or five. But I don't usually follow that rule. If my kids feel tired they can take a nap however my 1st grader doesn't take naps during the day but I remember when she would come home last yr from school she would take a nap right after school. Some kids I know of take longer naps and their parents wounder y their kid stays up all night. Y? Because they're not tired! Allow ur kid to rest at one or two o'clock but not like late evening bcuz that'll mess up their patern. I'm no expert but I have been around kids and caring for them since I was three or four. Happy mylotting!!!

Hi, napping were necessarily in toddler cause they were too active in playing and want to explore with the other kids. they might have tantrums etc. but as parents must control their tantrums as parents will control by their tantrums or else they will get your attention from with and make all time they need to do it. Just like timeout with them 3 mins facing the wall would be long for them.
