All parents know the joy of naptime. From birth until about five, parents can say, “It’s naptime and Lil’ Z, at least in my case, will protest a little, but eventually give in, settle down, and drift off while I am reading him a story. Well, parents everywhere know that this all changes too soon for most of us. After age five, I tried telling Z to take a nap only to introduce strife and frustration into our otherwise peaceful home. On the days that I won the war, he’d nap and then not be able to go to sleep at bedtime which seemed like an awfully terrible price to pay. Before long, naptime was a distant memory.
That is until now! Parents, if you want your teen to nap, enroll him or her in some rigorous training program. That’s what happened to us. I walked into Z’s room two weeks in a row and found him in a self-induced naptime. I tiptoed out of his room and thought, how ironic! I settled into my recliner and enjoyed an hour of uninterrupted me time. Teen naps are great.
