fatigue - age naps stopped

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I just left my son's IEP and found out that his Kindgergarten

class will be 4 hrs 40 min - this is much longer than his previous

class time of 3 hrs. So aside from all of my other fears and worries

about eating, injury, etc., I am also concerned about him now missing

his nap. He just turned 5 and he still naps 1.5-2 hrs most school

days. He gets home VERY tired many days. Since the school wont

allow " naps " (as school is for teaching!!), but instead they can offer

20 min of quiet reading time, my only other option is to shorten his

school day. Im a little torn because while I know the challenges of

CHARGE make him work a lot harder in everyday life, I also know that

kids grow out of naps sooner or later and I do want him learning as

much as his peers. The other students in class will likely be only

deaf - not as many other medical challenges as Lucas. So my question

is, at what age did some of your kids outgrow naps (if they were

nappers)? Luke has done so many things earlier than expected and does

like to be like the other kids and I dont want to be too

overprotective without giving him a chance!
