This post is for your sanity ;) and to make sure that your child is getting the downtime he/she needs! Here are a few tips to help you get started :) For more tips to make the transition over to quiet time something that you all look forward to, here is a quick post from The Busy Mom. - A baby gate is a helpful for little ones so that they don’t leave their room. It gives them a safe, structured place to play. - Be consistent: if you are going to transition to quiet time, stick to it. Don’t allow your children to argue or negotiate with you. - Rotate activities so that your children don’t get bored. Have things that only come out during quiet time or maybe have a scheduled rotation. - Use a timer so that you child won’t have to ask you every minute if quiet time is over. Do you have any favorite activities or tips to add to this list? What do your non nappers do? heidistjohn/relationships/parenting/quiet-time-activities-for-kids
