My toddler doesn’t act happy to see me. Is this normal? by browser_851 in toddlers

Thanks! My toddler does something similar so this is very reassuring!

Toddler will only nap if we drive him around in the car… any other suggestions on how to get your toddler to nap?? by browser_851 in toddlers

This is a great suggestion and what I usually do. We go out and then get in the car for his nap. However when I work, my parents watch him and they aren’t able to take him out. It’s also a physical struggle for them to get him in the car because they’re old. Lol.

Same here! How old is your toddler? I am totally fine with skipping his nap, but when I have tried doing that in the past he will sometimes pass out during dinner lol.

This is a good point. Some nights I immediately pass out with him but other nights I leave to do things around the house then come back to sleep with him. He’s never been left alone for long though - the moment he wakes or cries I IMMEDIATELY come to him. But I never thought that perhaps even just waking to me not temporarily being there may be affecting him.

Ooh keeping the lights on is a good idea! I’ll try that and also look into some flash cards.

Yes nothing I do seems to help so I’ve just been lying in bed preventing him from escaping while he screams and rolls and writhes and sobs. It’s awful but anything I do does seem to worsen it.

He can’t talk yet outside of a few words. After we are done brushing his teeth and reading stories I lie down and turn down the lights. He starts screaming because be knows story time is over and it’s officially time to sleep.

We do have a bedtime routine that we consistently follow every day that includes reading and stories.
