From the age of three, the children pretend to flee from the nap, because they have time to play and do things that they like, and although they show tiredness and need to rest, they refuse, and if the parents allow it, continue with their games until they get caught in the arms of Morpheus wherever they get caught.
If your son does not want to take a nap, it is necessary that you mark timetables and places to stay according to the time of day. It is not effective to force you to sleep, but you will get it by inducing it. For example, shortly before nap time, it is convenient that you are in your room playing, if that is what you want. Thus, having the bed nearby, it is more likely that when you feel that you are overcome by sleep, you will lie down.
To design these schedules, you must take into account your child's sleep cycles, there are times throughout the day when you are more predisposed to sleep. Do relaxing activities during these hours, tell him a story, listen to soft music with him, look at pictures on the sofa ... It is very helpful that at times you have to be awake, there is plenty of light, and little when you have to go to sleep.
The time you need to take a nap depends on your age and the needs of the child, but if you do not wake up alone and think you have slept enough, no more than two hours, wake up with pampering and something to do that is your pleasure, so you will know that if you take a nap, then you can do something you like.
