[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teen I rode my bike and went to dermatologist, dentist and orthodontist on my own.[/quote]

We once sent our teen alone to the orthodontist and they called to let us know that wasn’t allowed.  I don’t think a parent ever accompanied me to the ortho when I had braces.[/quote]

I agree - this is a ridiculous suggestion. [/quote]

+1.

A lot of people on this board have fully grown kids. They love to give advice about what they did in 2001 and are surprised it may not be totally relevant now.  [/quote]

This is not ridiculous. My DC gets allergy shots and we see teens come in all the time on their own. Same with the orthodontist. I get wanting to go if you can, but not going isn’t neglect. It’s actually probably helpful for them to do some of this routine stuff on their own so that when they’re on their own and have to go to the ER or something, it’s not their first time navigating a medical appointment.
