Hi,

I think it would be a good idea to talk with your daughter's pediatrician just in case the sleepiness is physical.

My suspicion, though, is that she is not challenged enough at school and so she takes a nap because she is, indeed, bored. If this is the case, can you talk with the principal, a guidance counselor or the teacher ? Or perhaps have a conference with all three? Are there programs within the school system for kids who are advanced academically?

Let us know what you find out ... as I'm sure it will be helpful to other parents.

Thanks,
Nancy
