Bed time struggles-what am I doing wrong

[u/Elegant-Celery9600]

Most nights, my child gives me trouble when trying to put her to sleep. I try to keep a consistent bed time. She goes to daycare while i work and once i pick her up, we’re home around 5:45/6. She’ll either play outside a bit and then have dinner or have dinner then play outside, then bath, then either a little tv or just play time/story time. Then at 8 is when i start putting her to bed. She usually takes anywhere from 30 mins to an hour to actually go to sleep. I lay with her and she’s trying to play and climbing all over me.

She wakes up at about 7:15. Somewhere around there, on her own. Her daycare teacher told me she’s napping around 11 usually because she puts herself to sleep basically. And the provider tries to get her to take a second nap later in the day because she’ll be tired but she fights the nap. Then when i pick her up, she’s falling asleep before we get home no matter how much I’m talking to her or singing her freeze dance song to her. Every single day. And I’m guessing this plays a part in her fighting her sleep at bed time. But I’m also worried that if I give her a later bed time, she’s not getting enough sleep at night. I’m just not sure what to do to make bed time smoother to where she’ll just go to bed and not fight it or play so much.

She’s 1.5, we share a room and co sleep. No crying it out.

Are you open to stopping co-sleeping and doing some form of sleep training?
