[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. Doctors visits especially in the teenage years are about teaching kids to be there own best advocates. To set boundaries for comfort and express them. I may select a doctor but my kid has ultimate approval and veto power of the doctor. If they aren’t comfortable we talk about why and if its not something easily fixable we get a new doc. Everytime we get a new doc(dentist, eye, derm, ped, etc) I reiterate for each kid that this is their doctor and they have to be comfortable with that individual. And we talk about each appointment after and before.[/quote]
