Reducing last nap

@Jasmine he has a ton of books and stuffed animals in his bed but he seems so bored in there until he falls asleep, I feel bad 😩
Quiet time. My son just turned 3 and doesn’t nap anymore. I still do quiet time. Usually consists of coloring or making him lay down to “rest his body” while he watches a non stimulating show such as puffin rock or trash truck.
@Chelsey Mirabel do you have him lay down and do quiet time in his room or out in the living area with you? My son can be quite destructive if he's left unsupervised with crayons and markers 😅
@Annika he’s an only child and we only have one tv in the house that’s in the living room. He has the same blanket for quiet time. He pulls it out and spreads it out and I’ll give him an option if this show or that show and if he gets up the show is being turned off. Which usually works for him. My son has a lot of energy as well so I try to do a lot of activities to exert the energy. After dinner we go for a bike ride or walk. We do a loop that’s a 1/2 mile some days he asks to go twice (1 mile) then we come home do bath time books and I’ll put an animal documentary on with a calm voice. He really likes ocean animals like whales and sharks so I attempt to keep it to calmer stuff not “when sharks attack” lol Netflix has a great mindset meditation thing he has fallen asleep listening too. There’s also great bedtime stories for kids on the calm app!
I’m going through the same thing. I just give my 3 year old a couple books and flash cards to look at while my 1 year old takes her nap.
