Bringing the Upbringing to Boston
Hannah and Kelty are high school friends of my husband. Though we now live in Boston, I heard about Upbringing from some Oregon friends last summer, when my son was 3 months old. I didn't really think much of it at the time, since newborns are barely conscious and don't need much besides milk, sleep, and hygiene... however, fast forward to this past January, when my son was 8 months old and still not sleeping through the night and I felt myself going slowly insane from my friends' and family's feedback: "He's STILL not sleeping through?" "But he's such a good eater!" "What is WITH him?" I remembered about Upbringing and started to listen... and it completely changed my outlook on my son and on parenting in general! The Empowerments were (and are) what especially resonated with me; at that moment in time, the "We Meet Our Kids Where They Are" empowerment in particular saved me. I began to appreciate my son for the unique individual that he is, with his own needs and his own timeline; I began to truly RESPECT him as a person rather than as an inhibitor of my own sleep/daily routines; and I began to TRUST my gut feelings about parenting decisions. Fast forward to now, where you can find my 14 month old is happy and healthy (AND sleeping through the night, without any other intervention from me), and where you can find me as a happier and more relaxed parent who still listens to Hannah and Kelty's every word. I am so grateful!Read full review »

I am amazed at the wisdom/vulnerability that these women display. This has changed how I am a grandmother, a mother, and an adult, in general! With my grandkids, I have been so much more aware of my reactivity (old ways want to run me!) and I am more able to move WITH them instead of...Read full review »

Upbringing is essential listening for new parents—especially those with young kids. Hannah and Kelty are thoughtful, honest, warm, funny, and so so helpful.
