Does a toddler clock work?
For kids 2 and older, the toddler alarm clock can be a fantastically effective solution. I really like the street light version.

Between the ages of 1 and 2, most kids need about 11–14 hours of sleep a day, including one or two daytime naps. At around 18 months, or sometimes sooner, most toddlers condense their two naps into one afternoon nap. A toddler who fights the morning nap is probably ready for just an afternoon nap.
