[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are parents still require to be in the room when the boy turns 16? 17?

I personally think our female doctor is aware or notices any big changes in our son as he grows. Not just physical changes but the behavioral changes that parents might not pick up on. She mentions things we have questions about. Yes, they do take notes on what our discussions are about but she seem to mention things that I never thought she would bring up again. Perhaps she is just a good note taker.

My son is 14 and I left for that part of the exam when he started having it.  Each year, I’m out of the room for longer in general.  It’s not just the physical exam, they talk about whatever is on the schedule for the year and I sit in the wait room.  I would go in for the entire thing or let my son go in by himself for the entire appointment.  It’s up to him.  I don’t know if there is an age parents are required to be there for the entire thing, but it’s certainly not past 12.  I leave it up to my son and do whatever he wants.  [/quote]
