OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER?

You’re not alone and it’s gonna be ok. Conflict doesn’t need to be an OBSTACLE to growth and joy in a family– it can actually be THE WAY to it!

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • SHARE

    Hannah and Kelty will hold space for you to share the biggest, hardest parenting challenges with your sensitive and strong-willed kids.

  • EXPLORE

    Together, we’ll explore your dreams for your family, as well as what obstacles are holding you back from the short and long-term goals.

  • PLAN

    We’ll outline Upbringing’s coaching and membership offerings to discover which could be best suited to you and your family’s specific needs.

Let’s face it— navigating our kids’ big feelings and challenging behaviors is HARD, but research shows that when daily drama is “done well” it can:

“You know those moments when you aren't seeing the forest for the trees, you know there's a bigger picture you're missing, but you just can't get there on your own? Without fail, Hannah and Kelty take what seems like an utterly hopeless soup of big emotions and missteps and, with loving guidance, reframe it into an actionable plan that actually makes some damn sense.”

— Laine, mother of twins

PARENTS ARE SAYING:

  • “The changes that I'm seeing in myself and my husband and those changes being reflected in my kid are so encouraging. As parents, we didn't know that there could be a different approach. But know better, do better. I'm so thankful that I found Hannah and Kelty and the Upbringing community.”

    — Meag

  • “As an early childhood educator, I can get too focused on "fixing behaviors" instead of tuning into what children are trying to express . I love Upbringing when I am struggling with my own objectives-- as a parent or a teacher. After a session with Upbringing , I always feel like a more skilled parent and educator.”

    — Colleen

  • “Hannah + Kelty show that being a "good parent" doesn't mean we have to lose ourselves to our kids. They teach us all how to reshape the parts of us that are craving for a renewal in this space-- parenting-- that we are all desperate to be good at, but have never actually done before. Highly recommend!”

    — Betsey

  • “I am a single mom living with my parents, advocating for a different upbringing for my son than the one I had. Upbringing has helped me articulate my values and reasoning for my approach (explaining that connection and consideration don't mean permissive parenting)! Insightful + super helpful.”

  • My mindset was so stuck in a conditioned way of thinking and I was beating my head against the wall as a parent of 4 kids, plus a pandemic. Enter H+K who graciously answer all of my questions and give perspective so compassionately. My relationship with my kids, my husband and myself have grown exponentially."

    — Maggie

  • Hannah and Kelty, in the most genuine way, acknowledge the struggles of parenting and provide guidance and tools to help us do the most important job as a parent: make sure our children feel loved and seen and safe. Learning from these two helps me to be a much more calm and confident mom.

  • When I first came across this approach to parenting, it resonated with my values immediately. That said, it's HARD WORK to make the transition from authoritarian parenting. Upbringing has been irreplaceable in helping me feel supported and trust my gut in a way that feels consistent with my values.”
