A member asked:
I'm worried bcoz my little 3 yrs. old sister doesn't sleep or take a nap in the afternoon... will this affect her growth? she's pretty active, just playing random
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Let her be: Kids will generally go through periods needing more or less sleep based on their needs. By 3 their need has dropped to 9-10 hrs/24hrs. Naps may be needed for some but others function well without. If she does not fall asleep at random during meals, when watching videos, at slow times, etc she likely doesn't need a scheduled nap.
