How to prevent your child’s nap from being ruined when they fall asleep in the car

I don’t know about you, but this happens to us all the time: We get in the car and no matter how long or short the drive is, one of my kids falls asleep for the last ten minutes of the drive.
Now, if you’re a parent, you know how this ends up ruining their regular nap, because somehow that TEN minute cat nap was enough to make them feel rested enough to not fall asleep when you get home and try to lay them down.
⁣⁣Maybe you’ve tried to sing and dance and roll the window down to keep them awake (only to probably fail) or maybe you’ve tried to sneak them into the house and transfer them to their crib hoping to save their nap.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t usually work. 
A lot of parents, specifically moms, end up feeling stuck at home because they don’t want to risk ruining their kiddos nap.
We never want you to feel trapped at home, so on today’s episode we’re giving you the secret to solving the 10 minute car nap.
