Bucket Emptying: Daytime Nap or Quiet Time?


Listen Later

Do you dread nap time? And is your child always resisting a nap?


As parents, we know there’s nothing worse than the tantrum of an overtired kid, so in this episode I’m here to help you create an effective routine to help your children rest and recharge.


Spoiler alert: maybe it’s time to detach yourself from nap time and start thinking about it as quiet time instead.


So find a comfy seat, pour yourself a cuppa and enjoy the conversation…
