Bedroom door - open or shut

[Timefliessofast]

Should kids' bedroom doors be open or shut when they are sleeping?

Our door is shut for privacy.
Shut- they need privacy too.
Or open- you need to know what they are up to.

What age? There are so many factors, noise, ventilation, light. Can’t say I’d have a policy.

We had theirs shut and ours semi open unless privacy needed

Shut in ours, kids go to bed much earlier than me so I don't want to wake them up. Younger two have a baby cam so I can see and hear everything.

Should add when I go to bed I leave theirs shut and mine open

Our younger ones have their door open otherwise toddler can’t open it in the night and she panics.

All doors are shut here.

I think the fire brigade recommend doors shut

Depends on the child. My ds wanted his shut from the moment he realised it was a possibility. Dd from maybe 8ish? But definitely their choice. And we had a strict knock and wait policy, even if the door was open.

Whichever they prefer. They always liked it open until about 12/13.

I never shut doors in my house, apart from the bathroom when it's in use. I left it for the DC to decide when they wanted to close theirs.

6yr old, open in the heat to allow airflow, normally closed, same for ours

We've always had ours shut as recommended by the fire brigade.

Ajar, we have very old doors with high door handles DS can't get out of his room if I properly shut it as he can't reach the handle

Whichever they prefer. I prefer shut for fire safety reasons and so they don't disturb each other, but I also prefer them to sleep which ASD DD won't do if she doesn't get her preference.
