S.H.
wow, I wonder what's up?!
I have 4 kids with my daycare & they all sleep in my great room, infant included. I use mellow music, dim lights, & keep the room warm.
Are they getting chilly? Are they too hot?
Does the timing of naptime need to be adjusted to allow for growth? I guess knowing their ages would be helpful for us. My preKG child is napping 3-4 days each week now.....comes in exhausted on Monday & by Wed is caught up enough that she usually skips sleeping & just rests - which then cycles around & she sleeps both Th/Fri.
Are they getting enough physical activity to wear them out enough for naptime?
& I agree with you...I have always followed the policy that if a child wakes crying, then they're not ready to get up. I insist/allow them "quiet time" before being released from naptime. Works wonders everytime! Right now the infant has found her toes....& is quite happy with being in bed. :)
