Does anyone's 3.5 - 4 year old still nap?

My nephew napped until he was in K and will still occasionally nap on the weekends

Mine does not because he stays up too late but, of the 14 kids in his daycare class (all between 3.5 and 4), only 3 kids don't nap.

My DD will be 4 in April.

She naps everyday at daycare.

When we are home, she will fall asleep on the couch once in awhile. But not every time.

DH's cousin - we were just talking about this the other night - napped until he was well into K! His mother, DH's Aunt, had to work with him to get him to NOT nap because he was missing part of the school day lolol! Mind you, he's now in his 30's I think he still naps!

Re: Does anyone's 3.5 - 4 year old still nap?

DS will be 5 next month and still takes naps. Unfortunately daycare has stopped naps at the beginning of the year but he still naps on the weekends at home.

Kinder doesn't allow naps so that stopped her naps. Otherwise she always had at least one nap. Depending on what she was up to it was around 2 or 3 for an hour when I woke her up, tho Im sure she could have slept longer. She would go to bed around 10 or so, wake up at 6.

Once in kinder we noticed she went to bed earlier WHOOOHOO

ETA Ooops forgot to say she goes to bed now at 8:30

My d's naps from 12:30-3 on days he is at daycare. He goes to bed by 7:30. Up by 6:30am

Re: Does anyone's 3.5 - 4 year old still nap? and what time do they wake & go to bed?

DS is 3yrs 2 months and still naps. He goes to school 2 days a week for 3 hrs and usually naps after his lunch. He was thrown off his usual schedule during the holidays but usually goes to bed during the week between 8 and 8:30 and up before 7 (he is woken up because I have work). Weekends he is up no later than 8 and it doesn't matter if he goes to bed at 8 or 11 on weekends will still wake up between 7 and 8. He naps usually once a day.

Re: Does anyone's 3.5 - 4 year old still nap? and what time do they wake & go to bed?

My DD will be 4 in May. She wakes up between 6:00 - 7:00am, naps from 1:00ish to 4:00ish. Then goes to bed at 8:00pm. If she skips a nap she goes to bed at 7:00pm. She definitely still needs a nap but I have been wondering how long it will continue...

Re: Does anyone's 3.5 - 4 year old still nap? and what time do they wake & go to bed?

Mine does not but really needs one when she gets up before 7 and goes to nursery school. Occasionally she will pass out on couch at like 330 and that makes bedtime a nightmare. Ideally, I would love for her to still nap from 12:30-2 but I don't think that is happening

DS goes to bed at 8:30 and gets up anywhere between 6 and 7. He's never needed a ton of sleep to function.

Re: Does anyone's 3.5 - 4 year old still nap? and what time do they wake & go to bed?

DS is 3 years, 2 months and still naps for about 2 hours every day. we're spoiled with his sleeping schedule

he wakes up around 8/8:15 AM
naps from about 1:30-3:30
then goes to bed between 8:30-9.

and he definitely still needs the nap- doesn't fight me on it, and if we happen to be out around 1:30 or so, he'll fall asleep in the car. so I don't see him giving it up for a little while still- thank goodness!!! I'm a SAHM, and its the only time I have to get house stuff done.

Re: Does anyone's 3.5 - 4 year old still nap? and what time do they wake & go to bed?

My 4yr old takes a nap after she gets home from school. She gets up at 7am, takes a nap from 3-4:30pm and goes back to bed at 8pm. Of course this doesn't happen every day but for the most part that is her schedule. It all depends if she gets bored and doesn't have no one to play with once she gets home.

DD is 4 and still takes a nap at daycare from around 12:30-2, 2:30. She goes to be at 8:00. On the weekends she will nap from 12:30 until 3:30 or so. I think they wake her at school, lol. Same bedtime on weekends.

DD is 4 and quill fall also on the couch sometimes for about an hour. She will go to bed at her usual time (7:30) whether or not she naps.

Re: Does anyone's 3.5 - 4 year old still nap? and what time do they wake & go to bed?

dd is 3.5 and she naps when shes in the car. sometimes she does pass out when were home. her naps never change her bedtime.

My older DS napped until kindergarten. He went to bed at around 7:30-8:00 and woke up about 7am. My younger DS will be 4 in March and he goes to bed and wakes up at the same times- but he gave up naps at 2.5

Re: Does anyone's 3.5 - 4 year old still nap? and what time do they wake & go to bed?

My youngest is 3.5 & still napping for 2-2.5 hrs daily. He looks for it & zombie without. He goes to bed around 8 & up between 5-530 but has always been early riser.

My oldest stopped napping daily at 3y2m. He will occasionally take a nap if we are hanging around on the weekend or if he had active day.

Re: Does anyone's 3.5 - 4 year old still nap? and what time do they wake & go to bed?

DS still naps at daycare - he's 4.25. He generally won't nap at home with us but we try. If he doesn't nap, he usually gets so cranky by 4-5 and if we go out in the car, he passes right out.
We try to put him down at 8:00 though he stalls a lot now and bedtime is a pain now. And he's up early. Up at 6:15 this morning.

Re: Does anyone's 3.5 - 4 year old still nap? and what time do they wake & go to bed?

My 4 y/o will nap occassionally. He goes to bed at 7 and wakes around 6/6:30. if he has physical activity in the mornings he will usually take a 1-1 1/2 hour nap in the afternoon (around 1).
