Move to a bedroom down stairs? We have a split level 3 bedroom, 1bath, kitchen and living room up stairs. Down stairs is a family room a bedroom and a bathroom. DD is kinda scared to move down there because it has a sliding glass door but she wants privacy from her younger sister 5 and brother 2. We live in a good neighborhood and we have a little pom pom. But
I am like should I move all her stuff down there or not? I told her she can sleep up here when she
wants or DD 5 can sleep down there.

Edited both floors have a sliding glass door. I will not leave DS on the top floor due to the fact that he can easily get in to everything while I am down there. I think I will move her stuff down there so she can have her privacy during the day and sleep up here at night.

 Let her try it out for a couple days and see how she likes it before you move all her stuff down there.

Elizabeth Smart lived in a good neighborhood also, that didn't keep her safe from being kidnapped out of her bedroom.

 I'd let her try it out and see if she likes it. I'd get a lock system for the sliding door though. Better then what the slider comes with.

 I thought she was taken while walking to school.

Oh FFS, really? I know it's true, but did you really have to do that? A kid could be kidnapped from the bedroom next door to their parents. 

To the OP, I agree with the other mom, let her stay down there for a couple of days and see if she likes it before moving everything. And if you want some extra peace of mind for both of you, maybe get a baby monitor for her room?

My 5 year old has had his bedroom downstairs away from us since he was about 6 months old. She will be fine.
