[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This gradual phasing myself out of the visit was part of teaching my kid to advocate for their own wellbeing and healthcare...along with all the stuff about privacy and having another trusted adult to talk to. [/quote] This makes the most sense when it's directed by a parent in the interests of the child. How else can one model this except to model it? However, I feel putting THE PROFESSIONAL in charge of when this takes place, this transition of power, is really the opposite of teaching the kid to advocate for their wellbeing, or at least potentially that is what it can be.[/quote] But as we can see on this thread, there are parents who wouldn't cut the cord until they're actually an adult...[/quote]
