Children, as they grow into adolescence, have the right to confidentiality within the primary care relationships. As long as a child’s behavior is not threatening to self or other, it is the primary care practitioner’s responsibility to facilitate the child’s in dependent ability to make healthy choices. The practitioner, while establishing a trusting relationship with the child, must remain cognizant of the child’s need for parental involvement and support. Therefore, whenever possible and with the help of the practitioner, the child must be encouraged to share decision-making with the family.
