I see a lot of parents out shopping with their toddlers when it should be naptime or even worse, bedtime. It is selfish to drag them around the mall all day without a nap so mommy can get some new shoes. And then mommy can't understand why her precious angel suddenly has a very loud and very public meltdown. Duh?! Does it ever occur to them that perhaps their little hellions are exhausted and need to sleep? Sometimes you gotta make sacrifices and stay home so your sleep-deprived children can get some rest. Not a sermon.....

I can honestly say that more times than not mine would misbehave because she needed a nap.

You would enjoy Disney World at about 1pm

Naptime was sacred when mine were little and NOTHING got in the way of that. It's tough enough wrangling some toddler without them being tired and cranky on top of it.

It amazes me at home many parents don't make their kids take naps.
My daughter's week catches up with her around Wed/Thurs.
I'll make her lay down for about an hour whichever day it seems to hit her. It's like magic, she goes from nasty to happy.

mine is weird. if you take her out during nap time she'll have a melt down but if your at home and put her in her room for nap time, she's awake the whole time.

I can't remember what I did. Whatever it was it was perfect.

She's still resting.

Mine weren't required to sleep if they didn't want to, they just had to chill for at least an hour with no outside influences.
