WHO THIS GUIDE IS FOR:

This guide is a great fit if:

• Your child has stopped napping but still needs a midday reset

• Quiet time used to work… and now it doesn’t

• You’re not sure whether your child should be resting or playing

• You want quiet time without constant interruptions

• You’re tired of guessing and want a clear plan you can return to

It’s designed for ages 3–7, with options for both younger and older children.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT FROM A BLOG POST:

You may have read my free blog post about transitioning from naps to quiet time — this guide goes much deeper.

Inside the Quiet Time Reset Guide, you’ll find:

• A step-by-step system, not just ideas

• Help choosing the right type of quiet time for your child

• Clear guidance for early nap droppers

• Scripts for setting expectations and resetting boundaries

• Troubleshooting for when quiet time isn’t working

• Kid-friendly tools and printables to support independence

This guide is meant to help you implement, not just understand.
