When we were kids, most of us hated taking naps- it was like a punishment. But now that we’re adults, being able to take a long nap in the afternoon would be a treat.

For our little bundles of joy, nap time is very important. In fact, according to studies:

“Naps are often necessary to help a young child reach their daily sleep requirements. It isn’t until age 4 or 5 that children begin consolidating all of their sleep at night. A nap during the day helps to reach these daily sleep needs.”

As parents, we know that they need this, but of course, our children won’t really appreciate the fact that they need to stop playing just to sleep again.

Kids, especially toddlers, will always prefer to play and choose to stay awake for longer hours just to do this. That’s one of the reasons why, as much as they can, they avoid taking naps.

Babies and toddlers are more intelligent than we think.

If you don’t believe us, then you might want to see this video that we got for you. In a video shared by Rumble Viral, you’ll be able to see just how smart a baby is.

A fair warning though- don’t let your kid see this. They might learn a technique or two from this little girl.

In this video, we will recognize how a one-year-old girl can use her charm and wit to talk mom (and herself) out of taking a nap. Watch carefully and learn.

Meet the adorable Sierra. She just turned one, but don’t let her age fool you- she’s very smart.

Sierra’s mommy saw that her darling baby wasn’t sleeping, so she decided to enter the room and comfort the little lady. Sierra then gets caught red-handed!

You’d think that, like most children, Sierra would just go back and lie down and pretend to be asleep- but she’s different.

Sierra has another plan.

To act like she’s innocent, of course!

When mom asked her, “Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?”

The baby girl just said, “yeah,” and then looked at her mom and acted all innocent, and then she said, “ohhh.”

Okay, that’s just adorable. We get it, little girl!

Then mommy asked her again, “sleeping?”

Then, this little girl acted surprised! As if she was shocked and she didn’t know. Mom can’t help but give in and giggle a little.

See what she just did there? This baby is smart!

She diverted the topic.

When mommy asked why she wasn’t sleeping, and if she forgot, she immediately said, “yeah!”

So, mommy asked her about sleep again, but this little smarty decided to divert the discussion! Instead of answering, she asked her mommy:

“Where’d Daddy go?”

Oh, little Sierra! We know what you’re up to sweetie.

Finally, mom became more firm about her request, and she asked little Sierra to sleep.

This little sweetheart’s last effort is to just give her mom a little giggle and act all cute. We know it’s working, and any parent would agree that it’s so hard to resist such a cute baby, right?

However, being a parent also means that you need to know how to stay firm when you’re imposing house rules- even if deep inside, you want to hug your child.

Good job, mommy for being firm but sweet to your little girl.
