Do toddler daycare naps ruin bedtime in your home?
Perhaps your toddler has stopped napping on the weekends and goes to bed at night pretty well. But your child is napping at daycare during the weekdays, and suddenly, bedtime has become a disaster!
Your sleep training needs a reboot.
You can’t get your toddler down until 9 p.m. or later, and sleep training at bedtime is a battle every night.
You’re not alone.
When kids transition away from taking naps, it feels like it throws their whole sleep schedule out of whack. It can be the cause of several toddler sleep problems.
I hear this complaint from families all the time. When their child naps at daycare during the week, bedtime is impossible. But on the weekend, with no nap, sleep training, and bedtime, is much easier.
The challenge is: many daycares are required by state laws or licensing to offer a nap, so it can leave parents in a bit of a pickle.
But there are ways around this.
Listen on for tips to help your toddler become an awesome little sleeper.

Let's say that your 2-year-old climbed out of the crib last night. YIKES!
You’ve been dreading this day for a LONG time. You might think “Okay, it's time to move him to a toddler bed”
NOT SO FAST!
If you can keep your adventurous toddler SAFELY in the crib a little longer, you should do it. But we have to make sure they can’t climb out.
The freedom of the open toddler bed can be too much for young kids to handle.
Switching kids out of the crib too early can cause lots of sleep issues– like refusing to stay put at bedtime, suddenly needing you to stay in the room with them or waking up overnight. Or if you’re already having sleep issues with your crib-sleeper, the switch to the toddler bed will just intensify issues you’re already experiencing.
Kids who don’t sleep well in the crib, will sleep even worse in a bed.
So, if you can SAFELY keep your child in the crib without climbing out, do it.

Have you ever asked yourself “Is sleep training selfish?” In this episode, you’ll learn about the health benefits of sleep for kids.
😴 If you’ve been stuck laying in your child’s bed for hours, waiting for them to fall asleep.
🛏️ Or waking up through the night to play musical beds.
🥱 Or welcoming a toddler into your bed at 2am and you’re sick of it, you may have tried to change things.
Now, if you’ve tried to change things and it hasn’t worked, you may have decided that your child just CAN’T sleep without you. Maybe they’re just too strong-willed or maybe they aren’t capable of sleeping independently for some reason. Or maybe you’re concerned that if you try and get out of this sleep situation that your relationship will be damaged.
So, you make a decision. And it may be an unconscious one. You decide that they must really NEED you at night. Not a preference but a NEED. So you’ve just given in and accepted it as your fate. This is your job.
And once you take it on as your responsibility, the prospect of trying to get out of it seems almost selfish.
And even if you’re exhausted and feel like a walking zombie who hasn’t slept through the night in a year, you STILL won’t change things because it feels selfish.
But what if getting your child sleeping through the night independently was the best thing for THEM?
What if working to get your child 10-12 hours of consistent sleep through the night with no wake ups was actually the healthiest thing you could do for them?

Are your kids afraid of the dark? Being scared of the dark is common. Here’s how to help kids overcome fear and be confident, solo sleepers.
A fear of the dark can start as early as 2 or 3 years old when kids' imaginations start to go wild. But, at this age, our kids aren’t mature enough to distinguish between their imagination 😈 and reality 😀.
It’s our job as parents to help. But lots of times we get this wrong and we end up actually encouraging their fear.
So if your child won’t sleep and you think they MIGHT be scared of the dark, keep listening…
