Not sure what to do...
My almost 2 yr old - when he naps (around 10:30-12) he won't fall asleep at night till after 10!!!!!
When he doesn't nap he is a WRECK the entire afternoon, nonstop tantruming, screaming, etc.

what to do????

What time do you start bedtime? Maybe he's already overtired at that point

Try waking him up a half hour earlier from his nap. Slowly ease him out of it.

Personally I would rather deal with a happy kid that goes to sleep later than a kvetchy one counting down the minutes until bedtime!!
Let him sleep for 1 hour and then wake him up.
At 2 they also start having more personality and like to test parent's rules so don't be scared of being a little strict.
You can train them to stay in their bed even if them don't fall asleep right away!

Try capping the nap at an hour. It's not all or nothing
