The Afternoon Nap
By Garry C. Myers, Ph.D. TT is wise to see that the
young child takes an afternoon nap until school attendance interrupts the routine.
At nursery school, children of 3 or 4 years old take
tap even when they are not trained to do so at home. It is often easier for the school to do this, since many parents don't exercise the skill or self-discipline necessary to cul- tivate the nap habit.
Many parents don't bellove that a daily nap is important and may be convinced, by what they have read, that it is better to give up the struggle to got the resisting youngster, 3 or 4, to take a lap and just let him have ja quiet period.
However, the parent who can't train a youngster to take a regular nap, can't keep him lying or even sitting qulelly for as long as thirty minutes. They suppose they have fulfilled kis needs if they tell him, "This is your quiet period." Then they may forget all about it.
He may soon
begin to resist this period as much as the carlier nap. If he was rigidly held to a really quiet period, le probably would fall asleep.
