I think she is just bored. my non nappers here do the same thing. I also tell them that if they cause trouble during nap time (asking for things, crying tantrums, acting ridiculous) I will put them down for naps like the babies.

it sort of sounds that you do give them food during this time on occasion, am i right? now they are looking for the "special treatment" on top of getting to stay awake. even if they are hungry, i would still have them wait. no one is going to starve in 90 minutes without food.

if she is as smart as a 5 year old, make a system where if they break the "awake during nap time" rules, they go to nap like the other kids. make sure she knows that staying awake for crafts or movie or whatever is a privilege to be earned every day.....or lost every day
