When should I nap her?!

Trivial but I overthink these things.

DD is 2 in October. If she had her way she would still have 2 naps a day but she rhen wakes stupidly early.

We are off to see my parents today, 50 min drive. Do I give her an early lunchtime nap (say 11) then go when she wakes (hopefully 2 hrs) or do I drive for her nap and hope she sleeps and stays asleep? Also have a nearly 4 year old.

Don't know why I'm struggling to decide!

I would just let her nap during car ride there and back.

Drive at about 11 and hope she sleeps

Just let her nod off in the car it will be fine- overthinking.

I do with sleep, I don't know why. I just feel guilty if I'm not giving her ideal situations.

Striving for perfection will be counterproductive in the long run.

Children need some slightly adverse situations from time to time.

Let her sleep in the car.
