Yes, it should apply to all medical treatments targeted at children, since children don't have developed critical thinking skills.

Do you think it's appropriate for random people to tell a 10 year old how to take their insulin? I don't.

So should everyone under the age of 25 (roughly when your brain becomes fully developed) be prohibited from talking about any kind of medical treatment?

Also, how do you expect people to develop critical thinking skills if they’re never presented with challenging concepts or, you know, required to think critically about things?
