[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we started leaving at 11, maybe 12? It's really whatever makes the child more comfortable. Obviously at very young ages, they are more comfortable with a parent during the physical exam, and as an older teen, it would be very uncomfortable to have a parent there - the crossover age depends on the child. Even if you stay for the exam, the doctor might want to have a few minutes in private for a discussion, however, and I think you should leave for that.[/quote] Same. DS had been seeing the same male dr since he was 6 and certainly didn’t want me in there for a physical exam by then. I’d be in for some of the appointment but always ask if he wanted to speak to the dr by himself. He never did but always wanted me out for a min for the exam. [/quote]
