The Huddle Wisdom Podcast

Parenting anxious, emotionally intense, or neurodivergent kids isn’t a problem to solve but a relationship to grow.

Modern parenting comes with pressure: to fix, to manage, to stay calm, to get it right. But when your child is overwhelmed, shut down, or melting down, the usual advice often falls short.

Dr. Davin Tan is a child psychiatrist and parent. He brings a clear, compassionate lens to the messier side of raising emotionally sensitive children. No gimmicks. No jargon. Just thoughtful ideas, grounded strategies, and space to think differently about what your child really needs from you.

🎧 Each episode offers:

Practical frameworks drawn from psychiatry and lived experience
Fresh thinking around anxiety, big feelings, school struggles, and behaviour
Insightful guidance that doesn’t pile on guilt or make you feel like you’re doing it wrong

For parents who want more connection and less chaos, even when things are hard.
