My seconds child doesnt sleep. He is2. 3 years. He had no nap today eg. But has only just gone down. If he naps at nursery he wont sleep till 10 most days.
Im at my wits end.

He is a happy boy although so full of energy and loves rough play. He is going through a biting phase at nursery which means they wont cut his naps as they think he does it when he is over tired. I have tried keeping him in the room but he can climb over safety Gate and if i hold him in he gets upset and start to retch and so or try bite me!

Forgot to mention he only has 5-10 words which is on the slow side but health visitor not worried

How much physical activity does he get? Mine needed walking twice a day at that age, just like a dog! 😂

What time does he get up @Tiredofitallagain If he's sleeping well overnight then it might just be his natural rhythm? Not all kids are 7-7!

He gets up at 6.30/7 most days.
He plays in the garden most evenings, now in this weather water and sand play and chasing bubbles and a ball! Sometimes I think it makes it worse as then he is all excited, exactly like a dog haha

I think 9pm-7:00am is a reasonable amount of sleep, especially if he also has a nap. It sounds like you got lucky with one with high sleep needs, but they're not all like that. DD is more a 10pm-8am sort of girl, although she sleeps a bit more on school days.
