B.C.
With my 2 1/2 year old, I have to sit in her room with her at nap time. I don't do anything with her. I tell her goodnight, give her a kiss and keep my back to her while I play the d.s. or read or play on the laptop. If she sits up, I don't look her in the face. I just lay her down, say "It's time to sleep now." and go back to what I'm doing. Some days it takes 2 seconds, some days it takes 30 minutes, but she always goes to sleep. I could have done away with the naps but I know that she needs them b/c she gets so cranky without them. I have noticed though, that she goes down A LOT easier if I wear her out first and then wind her down with some books on the couch. Good luck!
