Hi M.,
I have 4 kids and I had one that didn't take naps at all, and everytime I tried to put him to nap time, he would just climb hiself right out of the crib, every time. so I was told to take hime to the park and let him run his energy out, and that's what I did, even though I was dead tired, i manged to get him excited about it and let him run himself crazy, up and down slides in and out of swings, and just around and around he would run, and once I seen him slowing down some, I would try to keep that upbeat going for him, and once he got into the car and I started it up and got around the corner, he was out like a lightbulb. and he would sleep so soundly for the next few hours, sometimes so long I had to go and check on him. maybe find a water park, they love to play in the water, even just a warm bath got him to sleep as well. but the park always did the trick, and you yourself will be tired as well.so if you can or want to give it a shot, try it at least once and see how it goes. even now with my kids 13.11 and 8 yrs old, we still do the same thing, except we go directly after school, then they are tired when it is time to get to bed, and sleep. hope this helps.
