Description

Katie from Christiansburg, Virginia asks, "My 3.5 year old doesn't always need a nap, but she can't hang until bedtime. If she takes a nap during the day, she stays up too late at night. If she doesn't take a nap during the day, then it is an early meltdown. How do I fix this vicious cycle?"
