What happens as soon as you announce, “Nap time!”

 

Moans of “you’re spoiling our game”, wails from the less verbal member(s) of your family, and protests of “not already!”?

 

And when you finally get the baby, toddler, and/or preschooler down in their respective beds… is it peaceful?

 

Yes…. for about 10 minutes.

 

Just enough to start on a cup of coffee and a much-needed snack, plotting what you might get to do in the minutes/hours ahead of you.

 

Until you hear the dreaded words.…

 

“I need to use potty!”

“I pooped!”

“Firetruck, not dump truck!”

 

You help little people with the potty, change yet another diaper, and patiently trade out the quiet time toy. Back to your coffee.

 

And it happens again.

 

“Can’t I get any quiet around here?” you wonder in frustration.

 

Enter the introvert parent’s sanity-saving guide – the naptime edition.

 

What you’ll learn:

·        How to deal with the “just put down for nap” diaper call

·        Potty runs and pull-ups

·        The kid who’s bored with his toys

 

The results are unquestionably worth it.

 

You get nap time back again.

You get peace during the day back.

You get time to drink a hot cup of coffee, to refuel your body.

You get time to do something that soothes your soul, fills your bucket, and lights you up.

 

You get what every introvert parent needs: time by yourself in quiet.

 

Don’t be ashamed for needing that. The kids are perfectly capable of napping or playing on their own for a couple hours.

 

Your mental health, your sanity, is dependent on taking a break. So take it. For their sakes, and yours.

 

You’ve got this!
