Sleep and Naps
• Children this age need very predictable sleep.
• They need naps 2 times a day until they are about 18 months old and then one a day.
• Nighttime bedtime should be no later than 7-8 pm.
• Total hours of sleep daily, including naps, should equal about 13-15 hours out of 24.
• Sleep is when the brain wires from the experiences children have when they are awake.
