Depends on the child. Mine took naps until he was 5. Hes 6
Mine stopped napping at 2 
I wish. Maybe then I could sneak a nap in 
I wish mine did! Let them nap as long as possible!!!
Depends on the Child.
My 3 year old son NEEDS naps for he just constantly has melt downs
Keep him in the routine
If he feels like it. Playing hard going places can wear one out.
If your lucky lmao. My 2.5 year old has quit naps completely. Itās a real.bummer lol
Iām 41ā¦still takes a napā¦
My daughter still took naps occasionally as a 5 year old. Glad sheās past that stage bc now itās easier for her to make it through the day without acting cranky.
Yes it helps us out a bit
If heās tired, let him nap. I took naps at that age, and still slept through the night. But every kid is different with sleeping
My almost 3 year old very rarely naps. She stopped napping every day right after turning 2.
Iām 29 and I think I should still be taking a nap

My son will be 4 in December and hasnāt taken a nap since he was 2. If I lay down with him in my bed he will either fight it, get up or eventually fall asleep but that means I get no housework done. So no naps it is
Iām 31 and still need a nap. Hell

If he goes to bed at night when heās supposed toā¦ Lol I had to cut naptimes at 2 years old cuz he will not go to bed until 4am if I let him nap
My 3 year old hardly ever takes a nap but he also sleeps in till about 9 or later most mornings so doesnāt need one unless we get him up earlier
My daughter stopped taking naps at 3.5 because I noticed she falls asleep easier at night.

Shoot my 6 almost 7 year old takes naps at times. My 4 almost 5 year old takes naps often. If he needs it he needs it.
If possible yes. My son will be 4 next month. He doesnāt take a nap everyday like he use to. For the most part though he gets at least an hour nap in most days.
We do āquiet timeā my six year old usually just lays down to relax(sometimes he will nap) and my two year old sleepsā¦ I started doing it honestly so I could take a nap tooā:woman_shrugging:
if he needs it still, yes. my son took a midday nap until he was 4. heās now 7 but still takes a short nap from time to time. but Iāve nannied kids who stopped needing naps at 3. it all depends on if they can last through the day.
My 2nd child still takes naps at 6 and half if she can. My 1st and 3rd quit napping about 2 y.o.
3.5 year old who still needs a damn nap daily or else attitude central. Almost 5 year old who still needs it but refuses most days until he passes out in the ride home hahah
My 6 yr old still naps
My 5 yr old still takes naps.
It truly depends on the child. My daughter quit taking naps at 18 months, but she slept from 7pm to 7 amā¦ it was not worth the fight for a 30 minute nap.

Nephew 2 and a half. Still naps. Terror without them!
Yes! Sleep is very important.
My son will be 5 in October and be still takes naps
My older two will be 4 and 5 this year and if they get up earlier than normal I have them nap. I donāt make a big deal if they donāt nap, it just means they go down for bed much easier but they do get super whiny and cranky a couple hours before that haha.
Yeah if he needs it. Every kid is different.
Yes be glad hes not running around making a crap ton of noise they still do naps in kindergarten
Iām 52 and I still need naps. Lol. But seriously, my 3 and 5 year old granddaughters still go down for naps around 2 p.m. or they will be going crazy right before bedtime
sounds like he needs them 
let him rest & enjoy the quiet time
Real question, why is it any of your business if he takes naps still or not?

Yes at school (pk) they take naps from 12:30 till 1
My son is 4yrs old and takes naps
Just depends on the child in my opinion
My son is almost 5 and just stopped napping every day the last few months
He has always gotten up around 6:30-7 and has always been ready for bed around 9-9:30
If we have a busy day he will still sometimes nap or go to sleep a little early
ā¦ Going to be that person hereā¦ Not your kid, not your issue.

It depends on the kid, if the kid gets sleepy and cranky during the day let him nap especially if it wonāt effect him going to bed at night. Also donāt force him to take one if he isnāt wanting one.
Im 23 and i still take a nap wym? Lol

Yeah ! Mine took naps until they moved out ! They need a down time or a nap until they start all day school
My 5yo still took naps at 3. When his brother (2yo) goes down for a nap he has to lay down too. Sometimes he still naps if he wakes up early or is super tired/cranky. Itās good for their development to nap. My 2yo is a horrible sleeper and still wakes up most nights so he needs at least 1.5-2hr nap. Every child is different but most kids need a nap.

Yes, yes, and yes! However my first child didnāt need naps so she just patted the little kids backs when she was like 4 at preschool. She didnāt need it because she slept great at night and woke happy. She did have to rest and look at books after the little ones went to sleep.
My kids still needed one at that age.
I try to get my 3 yo to at least rest, because when she doesnāt nap, sheāll fall asleep at pm then not want to go to bedā¦
My 3 year old doesnāt nap anymore and heās in bed by 7-7:30 every night and sleeps 11-12 hours. It really just depends on the child.

My niece napped till she went to school and still did sometimes after school. My sons and nephew stopped just after a year old
Umm ya my 5 kids didnāt stop talking naps till after kindergarten because they still have nap time in school here in kindergarten
I took naps in kindergarten. After I went into first grade I was never allowed to take naps during the school year and very rarely during the summer. My parents then allowed me to take naps in my high school years around 15 because I was capable of controlling my own sleep schedule.
I dont force it but some days my son does hes 5
If he needs one then yes
Yes Iām 49 and make it a point to take a nap everyday

My son is 3 and he still naps but mainly when we are in the vehicle but other than that he wonāt nap
Yes, I believe in Naps at any age. Mental work like school is hard on your brains and emotions. It is a good healer of the neurons, muscle and ones energy. Some people and children will need it all their body life.
