My daughter goes to be at 10p and wakes at 6-7a at the latest. Sleeps 2-3 hours nap and it is around 2pm. she used to nap at 12 or 1 and go to bed at 9...but she just wouldnt nap, she would lay there talking to her self for an hour and not be sleepy, so now what? tonight she went at 6:30 because she had no nap-we were not home.I know she will wake up in the middle of the night. i really need to get her back on a schedule. Its been a hectec week...

Some kids stop taking naps earlier than others (and so you know, they say that gifted kids sleep less than others and give up naps earlier).
If she gets up in the middle of the night, you'll just need to put her back down. Be strong!
Getting kids on a regular schedule is great, but not always practical. You just have to do your best. And, if you insist that she take a nap during the day, lay her down, and let her talk or whatever, resting is better than nothing.

'I have always gone with my daughter's natural schedule (similar to yours) and even with disruptions she always goes back to her natural times. She rarely naps now, but if she does and gets up I just rub her back and sing to her until she falls back to sleep. It may take a few, but not usually to long.
Good luck.
