There is a point in each young child's life, often around age three, where he or she gives up having a nap during the day. Before that point, he or she might nap, but will then stay up insanely late, filled with the unequalled energy of a toddler, until 10:00 or 10:30 or 11:00 at night. Preventing that nap becomes a quest, perhaps an obsession, for the parents.
