Science experiment?
I am not a parent. But my "Soror Mom" is a Ph.D. in education and was an elementary school principal for many years... Based on her reading and her intepretations, children do need some time during the daytime hours to relax and they also need some time to rip and run.
To put different spin, University of Washington researchers just came out with research about the neurological development in infants to toddlers and how important caring and nurturing interaction is needed for a child to be "sane"--meaning without the use of narcotics to calm his or her ass down... Without that critical interaction, no matter how well the prenatal care was, neurological and psychological "general" development would be severely impaired. Meaning that at age 1.5 the kiddie outta be walking and talking...
The interesting view that I have is, wouldn't the kiddie be extremely tired without a nap when the parent picks them up from school? And as a parent, even though a kiddie would be cranky, at least by the time you'd get them home, they'ed be conked out for the night?
Basically, how fast does it take for these tykes to recharge their batteries??? 45 minutes??? So do you run them ragged before bed, or what?
