I take care of a 3 (gonna be 4 in November) year old. He is a BIG napper. He sleeps 2 1/2 to 3 hours every afternoon. His mom recently decided to try to forgo the naps and perhaps have a "quiet time" where he can lay in his bed, with the room dim, and watch maybe a movie or something. Is this a pretty good age to make the transition to having no naps? He will start nursery school in August, so he wont really have naps then either. His normal nap time is any where starting from 1:30/2ish and last until 3:30/4ish. I try never to let him sleep more than 2 1/2 hours.
Any ideas/opinions are appreciated.
Also, its worth noting that the reason she is giving up on the naps is because he WILL NOT go to sleep before 11 every night. Then he is really grumpy in the mornings.
