The Checkup with Doctor Mike · Should You Leave Your Child Alone With A Doctor? | Dr. Scott Hadland · 12 Aug 2026 podcast

Some parents fear that confidential time excludes them or even gives a doctor an opportunity to influence or groom their child.

Dr. Hadland explains why that conversation absolutely needs to exist and why attacks on it would only lead to worse outcomes for teens.

We touched on so many valuable topics on this episode, from the failure of America's DARE program, the status of marijuana and nicotine use amongst teens, the drug kids are using now more than ever, and whether young people today actually might not be experimenting enough.

Please help me in welcoming Dr. Scott Hadland to the Checkout Podcast.

do.

Honestly, my approach is full on listening before giving any kind of feedback.

Because for me to understand where I should guide the conversation, it's not, I don't actually guide patients to making a specific decision.

I am almost a bit laissez-faire in my approach where I believe that I want to do the best for their child.

I have certain data points in mind.

I can make certain recommendations based on here are the risks, here are the benefits, but ultimately they have to make that choice.

So I need to learn what's driving their decision to do it or not do it.

And then if they're

reason for making choice A or choice B is not based in science or data or it's lacking science or data, I can give that information and then allow them to come to the conclusion.

And the reason why I like that approach a lot is A, it doesn't feel like you're ever forcing anyone to do anything because you're actually not.

B, you're leading with curiosity so you make them feel like a human.

You allow people to feel seen because that's what should happen during a visit.

And then the final point is that

It allows you to create a team-based mentality.

And when someone from a motivational interviewing standpoint feels like they're making the decision and they're guiding it based on your expertise, suddenly they're way more likely to buy in.

So that's my strategy.
