Getting a Toddler to have a daytime nap

You are right, all children are different. Some still nap until age 5, others give up the nap before age 2. If he is sleeping well at night, seems happy and not fussy, he probably doesn't need the nap.

You could try having a 'rest time' instead of nap. Have it at the same time every day, like after lunch. Have him lie down for a short time, maybe 15 minutes, then he has to stay in bed, but can do quiet activities for another 15 minutes, like look at books. This gives him some down time, a chance to be alone and to rest a little, even if he doesn't feel like sleeping. My son enjoys a little time like this sometimes. He is fussy but doesn't need a nap, but a little time to himself helps him regroup and feel better.

My son is 2 and what i found works with him is if i lounge on the couch with him while we watch cartoons the only problem with that is that i end up falling asleep too sometimes. But if you get them to where they are relaxed then it helps and normally they will fall asleep. Or just wear them out to where they need a nap out of exhaustion.:)
