[quote=Anonymous]When I was in HS, I learned how to make my own follow-up appointments at the orthodontist and I walked there from school. I went to a dermatologist and my mom coached me as I filled out the new patient paperwork and gave the receptionist my insurance card. You don’t just set your kids loose and hope they figure it out, you coach them. “You need an annual sports physical. Here are some dates I can take you. Compare that to your summer job schedule and call the Dr to make an appointment.” These are important life skills. My freshman year in college I had a pregnancy scare, a mental health crisis, pink eye, and a UTI. Thank goodness I knew how to call the health center and advocate for myself! [/quote]
