Nap Time

kids - These are not all mine luckily, but I do watch them during the day part time. On day with all of them it gets crazy!

My daughters are 2 and 3 and they are brats if they don't get at least one to two hours in the afternoon. I try to get them to lay down at noon, but they never will relax and go to sleep until 1. How old do you think a child should be before they quit getting a nap? If you give your child a nap what time do you think is appropriet? Does your child get to watch cartoons, or a movie, or is it peice and quiet? Just wondering if it's normal to want a little bit of sanity, sometimes?

my daughter was like that, she didnt want to nap because she was afraid she would miss something! both my daughters napped til they were 4, so i honestly think it has to do with the child... i prefer reading/picture books to tv, so they got to take a book to bed with them and look at it, then fell asleep
