In this episode of The Teacher’s Lounge, Isa tackles one of the most common challenges in early childhood classrooms: what to do when children simply won’t nap. Instead of offering another basic “quiet activity list,” Isa breaks down the real reasons some toddlers, preschoolers, and Pre‑K children struggle during rest time — and introduces a simple, research‑supported 3‑phase model that helps teachers support regulation instead of forcing stillness. With practical strategies, sensory‑friendly ideas, and outside‑the‑box solutions, this episode gives educators the tools to create calmer, more responsive rest‑time routines that work for every child, not just the sleepers.
