3 year old fighting day sleep but will crash early in the evening

[*becstar*]

hmm.....well in my house, daytime sleeps at 4 have never happened!! maybe very rarely, but not often.

My almost 3 yo is similar at the moment. I find I really need to schedule quiet time, we sit together and watch some tv, or read books, something quiet and restful that isn't sleeping. This helps us get through the day. I also find when DH gets home about 4:30 he is struggling, but DH will usually play or taking him outside and he perks up again. He will crash at 7pm, this is an ideal day doesn't always work!

I'm not too sure about the early rising.......

Im not really worried if he sleeps but i think he still needs it and him getting up so early is the crux of the problem if he slept till later then he might not be as tired. He is awake now its 4:50pm so will try and keep him going
thnaks for the advice
