When should a pre-schooler stop taking daytime naps?
Should you encourage a four or five year old to quit taking daytime naps before they enter school? If they are only in a half day program you can still squeeze a nap in sometime during the day but if they are in an all day program they will probably not have a chance to nap until after 4pm. If you know your child is going to start full time school should you encourage them to quit napping, try to get them to only take a nap after 4pm, or do nothing before hand and let them adjust when school actually starts?

I did nothing and let my kids adjust. I just felt horrible when their eyes would droop or they'd fall asleep on their food. I couldn't bring myself to stop the napping. When they started school they were so excited they stayed awake during school and thus came the end of napping. I didn't really fret about it, it just occurred naturally.
