Napping Babies near Other Children

[Ariana]

I would definitely try to get the 14 month old to be more quiet by letting her know shrieking is not appropriate. Depending on what she is banging on I would try and swap it out for softer quieter things in that room while babies are napping. I don’t think limiting over the top crazy loud play is inappropriate at all for this age!

Otherwise the babies will have to get used to it.

You could serve snack, do story time and then a little adult led play time modeling quieter activities in your playspace. Obviously two hours at the table wouldn't work for any age. Naptime is hard when the children are sharing the area.

Thanks everyone! This week I'll work on getting DCG to be quieter. Hopefully we have some progress!
