Hi anyone out there,
I haven't used this website much but something is really bothering me and so I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced the same problem and if they could offer some advice!!! Please!!
My son at 2 and a quarter started dropping his nap and before that has always been an excellent sleeper, sleeping thru the night and 2.5 hour daytime sleeps on average. He now sleeps during the day pot luck!! Sometimes he can go a few days in a row with a nap but then a few days without.

I know I have to accept the fact that he is becoming more independent and thinks he doesn't need sleep but actually he does. The problem is if he doesn't have a daytime sleep he just gets wound up and finds it hard to calm down. He has always been an easily stimulated child! But unfortunatley he ends up being in a really difficult mood, often being naughty or throwing little tantrums, and gets very rough in his play....I can't stand being at home with him sometimes ( I also have a son who just turned one).

I have tried changing his sleep times later and earlier and again it seems to be pot luck and its hard to know whats going to happen....he also has a wind down time before bed, quiet video then i read him a book with soft music.

It really stresses me out (on the inside generally) when he doesnt sleep but yesterday I lost it! I need a break!! How long does this period generally last for when toddlers drop naps?

Has anyone else gone thru a really difficult period like this...it annoys me so much because I know he NEEDS the sleep and then I have to put up with his behaviour Thanks....
