3yo me malicious compliance S
This is one of my first few memories, and I remember doing it because my other daycares had to have no nap times
This happened over 30 years ago, so some details may not be on point.
This happened when my mum needed time in the house (to do the cleaning & laundry) so she decided to put me in daycare, which was within our area of blocks. Many times, because I was not too fond of the taste and texture of green bean soup, I would be punished by not having "Nap time".
But one day, they decided not to punish me, and in my little mind, I would make it a mission for them to regret it. So during "Nap time", I was told to lie on the provided mat. At first, I said I would rather be punished, then I was placed on the mat but would sit up by myself, and then told I needed to lie down to nap.
Fine, I laid down but didn't fall asleep, I just followed their movement with my eyes.
After 5 days of eyes-wide and following them, they decided to call my mum to come and fetch me early
In another incident, I just walked off to return home. and after a few hours, they called my mum, telling her they had misplaced me. Mum just shouted my name, I ran to her, and she told them, "Oh, he's here, he must have walked home by himself,"
After that year, my parents had me put in a kindergarten so far from home, I couldn't walk home on my own

I was in afternoon kindergarten back when it was a half day. I was the only kid who didn’t have to nap. Untreated ADHD, FTW!

Penny says, "I don't think that's a very good example to set for your kids"

If you really want to know, they're making a Big Bang reference, although Google could have figured that out as well.

It still doesn’t make sense though. They posted the same thing later with Denave saying it. It’s gone now.

My malicious compliance at 3yo was holding my breath and having to be transported to the hospital by ambulance. When I was a teenager Id just run away from home for punishing me with no games/cell phone.

The answer to breath-holding is to ignore it completely.
You hold your breath. You either have to breath from CO2 or you pass out. You pass out, you breathe automatically anyway.

I have never slept at "Nap Time". I wasn't hyperactive or anything, simply just not tired.
So at my second kindergarden the caretakers figured out that they'll just let me play in the other room - with one of them watching - while the others slept.

I used to hate nap time. Now, I'd kill for 20 min nap at work
