Hello there,
We live in France; my ds is 2.2 and goes to halte garderie five mornings a week. The problem is that he just won't nap after lunch anymore - this is a new thing, but he hasn't napped for the past 5 days, so it's looking like a permanent thing! Our doctor insists kids need naps until 4 years old - which seems a bit excessive. Plus, every single French mum friend I've spoken to tells me it's too early for him to be dropping the nap. I realise I can't make him sleep, and he does go to bed at 6.45pm and sleep til 7am now, which is great. So in principle I'm fine with it. My question is just how other people with non-napping little ones handled maternelle, which is a year away but the 2 hour "sieste" is such an established thing here.... (He'll be going to the local French school down the road if that makes any difference!).
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
