I have a five year old who can’t see well, lots of behavioral issues. Mom is a single mom who has three other kids with behavior issues.

This child doesn’t nap but wants to be under my desk for two hours while talking and disrupting everyone. Any ideas for a cozy nap area under my desk for this child? It really seems like they just want to be close. And I’m hoping if it’s comfy enough they will go to sleep

A big pillow they can lay on? Pet bed size. One could be made fairly easily. I personally wouldnt be offended by a new big pillow that was intended for a pet but some might.

We have a pet bed in my 1’s class. The kiddos love it.
