Changing bedtime

Amanda

My daughter has been going to bed around 10-10:30 pretty consistently for over a month. Obviously this is really late so I’d like to change her bedtime to around 8:30 (her daddy gets off work at 7 most days & they need to spend time together too) My question is has anyone ever changed it without moving it up in increments? I’m finding it very hard to move it up slowly because her last nap ends up being around 7:30-8 every day so she just goes to bed 2 hours after it ends. I would like to just drop that nap & move her bedtime up but I’m afraid of confusing her & having her think it’s a nap.
