Nearly 4 years old and still sleeping in the day??

[~KACI~]

My daughter will be 4 in january and she still has a sleep most days and also sleeps fine at night

As much a we try to keep her awake 5 out of 7 days she will sleep. My son stopped his naps at just over 2, but Paige enjoys her sleep just like her dad.

Any other children like this, i already know its not the norm but was wondering how common it is??

ONe of mine gave up naps at about 2. But my youngest was about 4. I waas worried when she started school at 5 that she would still need a nap but she didn't. Even now, she needs more sleep than her sister does. I wouldn't say it wasn't normal...just that every kid is different.

They stop when they're ready. My 2 year old still has around a 2 hour nap and my son who like your dd is 4 in january still sleeps for an hour As long as they're still sleeping well at night I wouldn't worry

My daughter turned 4 in april and she goes to daycare everyday during the week. They put them for naps at daycare and ive asked them not to because she doesnt sleep at night. I put her to bed at 8 and she isnt asleep when i go to bed at 11!! Ive asked them not to nap her and they say she doesnt nap but i dont believe that because when shes with me in the day and she doesnt nap she goes to bed just fine!!

Over here in the US kindergardeners still take naps at school. I would not think as long as she is sleeping well at night that a nap during the day is ok!!!

My son napped all the way through kindergarten...so until he was SIX! He could still take a nap now...he is just go go go all day, and it wears him out. At night, he is out like a light. My eldest daughter, she hated naps...fought them tooth and nail, and we stopped when she was 2.

My son still sleeps during the day. He's 4yrs and nearly 2 mnths. He generally sleeps 12 hours at night and between 2 and 3 hours during the day. I was expecting him to stop doing this over the summer holidays as i wasn't as strict about putting him to sleep and if we were out there was no way i could get him to sleep. But once the summer ended he went right back to sleeping in the afternoons again!!! At the moment he is at school mornings only but i am fully expecting that when he starts full time after half term that he will get home from school, sleep until dinner time, have dinner and go back to bed.

I wouldn't say its the norm now to still sleep at 4 but i don't think it hurts them at all. Children of this age as still supposed to have 12-15 hours of sleep a day. I love my two having a sleep in the afternoon - gives me chance to catch up on things that i can't do if they are awake.
