You need to run a zoned heating setup. It's not that hard to do. check here for info.

Thanks for all the tips!
Everything is dangerous in one form or another. I don't think I could have that done in my old house. I am not to worried about heat loss out of the room, just to take the chill off. Her room is very small. And her door is only open about 5-10". And putting the heater in her room would be safe (to me) as there is nothing she can climb on or use to reach that high up. But the missus is against it so its not an option at this point, fires can happen anywhere, we have a smoke and carbon detector in her room. My father in law is a firefigher so our house is covered!
