Re: downshift 1st gear?

When I slow down to an intersection while in 3rd gear I dont downshift into 2nd or 1st although I probably could shift into second I just stay in third and let the car slow down, then I speed up again after passing the intersection. Is this hurting my transmission? Should I be downshifting into second?
