XP: PNP escape artist... Ideas needed!

lexusolsen · July 2012

One of my daycare kids is almost two and very much still needs a nap. He gets whinny and irritable if he doesn't get one or is off schedule. Yesterday, he started climbing out of the PNP he has been napping in since February. I found him wide awake and playing outside of it when I went to check on him. The kid is very stubborn, so laying him on a mat or even my couch won't work because he wants to move around. I would literally have to hold him down. Apparently, he started doing it at home too. They bought him a big boy bed but he won't stay in it.Should I just consider him done with naps? Should I put him in the PNP and let him sleep or climb out and play (I am afraid that he will hurt himself if he continues climbing out. I am giving them my two weeks notice on Monday but I want to help him transition. WWYD?

If he's getting out of the PNP, it needs to go away. It's a safety hazard. At two years old, he should be out of a PNP anyways. If you've only got two weeks left, I'd just ride it out. Give him a bunch of books and a comfy spot to lounge, see if he'll just have some "quiet time."

Yeah, I figured as much. I was just following their lead since I'm just the DCP. He is so exhausted. I guess we will try a mat tomorrow.
