I can count on one hand how many times he fell asleep during the day the year he was four. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-4-year-old-are-they-still-napping#post-2579043 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 15:52:46 +0000 mrsjazz 2579043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was napping at school but they put her in a different class for summer camp that doesn't take any naps. She hasn't napped at home in years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-4-year-old-are-they-still-napping#post-2579039 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 15:49:32 +0000 PinkElephant 2579039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My four year old has been off naps for a few months now. She takes one occasionally (like on weekends...DH is very good at wearing her out!), but yesterday when she took one, she stayed up til MIDNIGHT (I'm not kidding!). So yeah, as much as I wish she still napped.....I don't think I'll let that happen again on my watch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-4-year-old-are-they-still-napping#post-2578976 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 15:01:31 +0000 KayKay 2578976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She only naps occasionally -- like for a week when she was going through a growth spurt (I assume). On a normal day, she just has to play quietly in her room for 60-90min while her little sister naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-4-year-old-are-they-still-napping#post-2578963 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 14:54:44 +0000 KT326 2578963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He naps at daycare (1.5-2 hrs) but not at home. He just moved to a new class so I want him to get settled before I talk to the teacher about reducing his nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-4-year-old-are-they-still-napping#post-2578944 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 14:45:15 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2578944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, he was still napping at our house on the weekends but we put a stop to it because he was too hyped up at bedtime. </p> <p>Although, his cranky level is still pretty high in the evening so I miss them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-4-year-old-are-they-still-napping#post-2578902 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 14:26:57 +0000 sandy 2578902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. She stopped napping right a little before 3 but we did quiet time for a few months. She's always slept a good stretch at night usually around 12 hours (sometimes more!) and she has never fallen asleep in the car. I much prefer putting her to bed early and having my evenings free so I'm not interested in trying to keep her on a nap bc for us that would mean a later bedtime. We know a few kiddos that still napped at 4 but they were early risers (like 6am) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-4-year-old-are-they-still-napping#post-2578894 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 14:20:43 +0000 cascademom 2578894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our almost 4 year old still naps. We limit them to an hour long on the weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-4-year-old-are-they-still-napping#post-2578776 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 13:19:35 +0000 T-Mom 2578776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4, almost 5 yr old stopped napping when he turned 4. Which was nice, because he had trouble falling asleep, and now it's nice to have 2 kids that don't nap. My DD napped until she was 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-4-year-old-are-they-still-napping#post-2578769 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 13:17:16 +0000 autumnlove 2578769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, she still naps everyday. Definitely not as long as before but she still loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-4-year-old-are-they-still-napping#post-2578768 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 13:17:06 +0000 winniebee 2578768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha ha ha. No. He stopped napping before 3. Now, he will take the odd car nap or the nanny can get him to nap once in a blue moon at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-4-year-old-are-they-still-napping#post-2577849 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 13:15:00 +0000 mediagirl 2577849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How often do you get naps out of your 4 year old? Do you still make the take naptime? What do they do if they aren't actually sleeping? </p> <p>My 4 year old is off naps. She will only nap if she is seriously over tired and we pop her into the car at 2pm or later. </p>
