my 2 year old is refusing to nap. She seems to make it to bedtime without melting down which makes me think maybe she really doesn't need a nap anymore. man I miss it. What age was your child when they dropped all naps?
Eric is almost four years old and refusing naps about 5 out of 7 days a week. ?I still require he have "quiet time" in his room on his bed for 1.5 hours. ?He can read books or play with toys, as long as he is quiet and on his bed. ?He really needs the down time (and so do I!).
My dd will be 3 at the end of May. She hasnt taken a NAP in 3 weeks. Its funny as she can go all day without one. She does go to bed earlier which is a good thing...But somedays I can ses her getting a bit high strung/crazy about an hour before bedtime. Im not ready to give up the nap, I do try everyday......
Re: At what age did your child drop naps completely?
Lucas rarely, if ever, naps anymore. He just turned 3 in December. He started phasing his nap out when he was about 2.5.
Of course, I know some 3.5 and 4yos who still nap regularly.

Jakob did all day kindergarten last year. They had a 20 min rest time every day and he always passed out.
So...nearly 6 years old before he stopped naps
