[quote=Anonymous]Mom of 2 boys. At that age, I would step out for the exam. Doctor would also talk to my sons (alone) about smoking, drugs, seat belts, helmets etc-general safety. Doctor's view was that kids would not talk with parent in the room. My boys were okay with me stepping out of the room. On the drive home, I would ask my son what they talked about. My kids are older now, but I think it's an appropriate time for them to talk to a doctor about their concerns in private. It's all about the child's comfort level.Also, when my boys were 10 and 12 yrs old, I consciously opted to leave the pediatrician (mostly female docs) and chose a male family practioner.[/quote]
