Why won't your toddler go down to sleep during the day?

Here are the reasons why your toddler won't go down to sleep during the day.

1. His sleep pressure isn’t high enough yet.

2. He is dialled up and needs to be dialled down, either with

   • Milk, depending on his age and whether or not you're breastfeeding, or with

   • A change of sensory motor experience.

Women or primary carers find the days are easiest when they experiment with taking off the sleep lens, and putting on the sensory motor nourishment lens. Rich and diverse sensory motor experience, most easily achieved outside the low sensory interior of the home, keeps your toddler dialled down until the sleep pressure is high and sleep happens without effort on your part.
