We recently moved into our nearly-there-dream house; meaning the bones are there, just minor things need to be updated to get us to our perfect home. We moved from a small, one story townhouse to a large tri-story house one block from our favorite lake.We thought it'd be an amazing move for our growing family, but especially for our 4 year old son. More room, his own play room even! Well our bedroom situation...he's on the main floor, with another bedroom (currently used as an office), and we are upstairs (our master suite solely occupies this floor). He is often up in our room, saying he's scared because no one is sleeping by him. I take him back to his room, tuck him in and try to talk it out with him that everything is okay. But I have to admit, he's not the only one apprehensive about the new sleeping arrangement. It's a weird feeling to be so separate for bedrooms. My Other Half thinks it amazing, but I'm often tossing and turning that I'm going to miss something bad that could happen.What can I do to ease my fears and my sons? I'm thinking of installing cameras on each level of the house, that way I can access video footage whenever I want (not just at night but if he's in his playroom while I'm cooking dinner, or for our pets during the day). What sort of precautions can I take for a better sense of security for myself? I understand this is probably something that will become routine for him, where he will eventually not even second think the arrangements, but the meantime is difficult. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2twtdsN
