121 | What Your Teen Doesn't Know About Their Body Is Fuelling Anxiety with Physician Dr. Robin Dickinson

Hi Parents!

Many teens feel anxious about their bodies, relationships, and the changes they're experiencing but often, that anxiety isn't because something is wrong. It's because no one has given them the information they need to understand what's happening.

Today I'm joined by family physician Dr. Robin Dickinson (docrobinschool.com) to discuss why body education is about so much more than puberty or reproduction. Drawing from years of clinical experience and her work developing a comprehensive curriculum for teens, Dr. Dickinson explains how filling the gaps in body knowledge can reduce anxiety, build confidence, and help young people make safer, more informed decisions.

We talk about the information many schools leave out, why understanding the neuroscience behind early attraction can help teens navigate relationships more confidently, and how parents can approach conversations about consent, healthy relationships, and personal safety without increasing fear or shame. Dr. Dickinson also shares practical advice for parents who never had these conversations growing up themselves and aren't sure where to begin.

Whether your teen is just entering adolescence or already well into their teenage years, this episode offers a practical roadmap for having honest conversations that strengthen trust, reduce anxiety, and help your teen better understand both their body and themselves.
