I had a mother approach me this morning, requesting that I no longer nap her 3 year old child. She explains that it causes her to be up until 9 pm at night. I said that I would not accommodate that. I explained that her child doesn't have to sleep, but rather has to to stay quietly on their nap and not disrupt others in the room. Mom seemed irritated that I wouldn't NOT nap her child. She sarcastically and with attitude commented that they would just not nap her on the weekends then. I said that it was policy that all kids need nap/rest time. They are required to sleep, but do need to rest their bodies.

Has anyone encountered this issue and how did you proceed/ say to the parent in response? Her child just turned 3 and obviously needs a nap daily.

Thank you!
