[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Physician here. In pediatrics, we are there to be advocates for children. Children are also minors who live in the care of their parents and so it is incumbent upon us to work with the child’s caregivers. In the case of shared custody with contentious adults, it can be very disruptive to have those contentious issues brought to the examining room with children. Examples include children being brought for well visits which include vaccines and having one parent refused vaccines that day, only to get an email from another parent asking why vaccines were not given and indicating that now there has been a disruption and a camp or school plan. Physicians cannot be placed in the middle of these disagreements, hence there can be some proactive action to mitigate these situations.

This is just one example. OP without further details it’s difficult to advise. [/quote]

OP here. The issue is that the other parent fails to report any observations related to the condition. They do this in the school setting and most recently provided contradicting feedback to the person conducting a psychoeducational assessment.

The child self reports and is aligned with parent A, while the other parent seems to be unaware of the childs issues.

The doctor further explained that the disruption that is caused is delayed treatment due to Parent Bs lack of feedback and observations. [/quote]
