My son, 3.5 years, goes to daycare four days a week. He is in a room with about 15-20 other 3-4 years olds. They have rest time after lunch for about an hour with the room darkened. I understand some kids nap and some don’t but those who don’t are encouraged to rest quietly in their beds for the hour.
Daycare has started raising concerns with us that our son is the only child at rest time who constantly disrupts the other children, talks and gets up from his bed. Other than that they have no issues with him. I’m not sure what to do about it, he hasn’t napped at home for about a year (and doesn’t need to as when he did he was up until 9pm at night). He’s told me the beds at daycare are uncomfortable (they are the plastic stackable type) and he doesn’t know how to stay still. He’s the same at home at bedtime, as in he can’t relax by himself, if I leave him alone he takes an hour or two to settle but if I lie next to him he’s asleep in 10 mins or so at 6.30pm and sleeps for 12 hours. Is this something I should be concerned about and trying to help fix so he doesn’t disrupt the other kids or does daycare need to come up with a better solution for non napping kids?
