We have talked and talked to the kindy but its a standard thing here. I dont understand it. Even my son asks "why cant I just draw or look at books quietly?"
I think the teachers should be giving them quiet time with stories etc, not sleep but...

The only solution I can find is to change kindys to a closer 1 next term and pick up DS1 after lunch when the others go to sleep, and do the same for DS2 when he stops wanting day sleeps.
We cant be the only parents who see this isn't healthy. Our boys toss and turn in bed at night because of the big day sleep but in the morning are still tired.
Also, we cant be the only parents who enjoy child free time at night? (at least we did in the holidays)

But I still have to deal with the very reasonable refusals every morning and try to explain that this is just how it is for a few more months SIGH
