LIVE Q&A SERIES // How can we teach kids to make good choices? It's actually our super power tool...

Hannah + Kelty — Wed, 15 Nov 2023 09:51:30 -0800

When mistakes are judged, shamed and connected to child’s worth + belonging (conditional teaching):

✔️Kids learn to feel shame when they naturally struggle
✔️Kids learn that conflict is binary: good/bad, right/wrong
✔️Kids hold in their feelings + needs out of fear of shame
✔️Kids are more likely to lie, blame, + defend to feel safe

When mistakes neutrally explored and NOT connected to child’s worth + belonging (unconditional teaching):

✨Kids learn to feel safe when they struggle and grow
✨Kids learn that conflict can be a safe place to learn
✨Kids learn their + others’ needs + feelings matter
✨Kids are more likely to communicate, empathize + innovate

Gah! We’re all trying to give ourselves grace, patience and love for all the “messing up” we’re doing as adults + parents. ✨Can we try to extend those same things to our kids as they learn and grow, too?

Rather than instinctually repeating the inherited phrasing that was passed down to us from generations before, we give you permission to lean into your kids’ learning moments with the very skills you hope to teach them: curiosity, empathy, humor + innovation — a concerted effort to focus on the NEEDS vs the BEHAVIORS.

LIVE Q&A SERIES // Parenting Beyond Power with Jen Lumanlan of Your Parenting Mojo

Hannah + Kelty — Wed, 18 Oct 2023 19:40:55 -0700

We loved connecting with friend and colleague, author and speaker Jen Lumanlan of Your Parenting Mojo about her new book, Parenting Beyond Power! ✨ Tune in to learn more about ways to use connection and collaboration to transform your family — and the world!

Visit Jen's website for ways to purchase her book and check below, Oregon folx, for information on her book tour as it passes through at the end of October! 🎉

October 28th: Sip & Sign at Circle Round

October 29th: Workshop at Living Room Realty

From Jen:

Parenting is hard. But when we replace conventional parent-child power dynamics with collaboration, family life gets easier today—and we create a better world for all of us in the future. When our children are stalling, resisting, tantrumming, using mean words, and hitting, we want to make it stop. But discipline methods like time-outs, countdowns, and 'consequences' teach children that it's OK for more powerful people to control others.

Research-based parenting educator Jen Lumanlan offers a simple yet revolutionary framework for rethinking our relationships with children. We can learn to look beneath challenging behaviors to find and meet children's needs, and ours too - perhaps for the first time in our lives. This approach helps us to find solutions to conflicts that work for everyone - in our families, and in the wider world.

LIVE Q&A SERIES // How we raise self-sufficient, capable, collaborative kids! Plus our online membership sale this week!

LIVE Q&A SERIES // How do our kids learn best -- connection or control?

Hannah + Kelty — Sat, 10 Sep 2022 10:54:46 -0700

Should we believe that using consequences, threats, shame, isolation etc. is the best way to teach + prepare kids for adulthood? NO!

Today’s Q&A explores how we can bravely work to believe that our kids grow best from our CONNECTION, not our CONTROL. Though our instinct tells us to fix, stop or punish their big feelings + challenging behaviors, practicing powers beyond control with our kids creates a sense of security for them that allows their brains to learn + our relationship to flourish.

Can we do this everyday and every moment? No way– this is the ongoing practice and the process of growing up alongside our kids. Why? How? Tune in and download our new free download on the site!

Where do you struggle when it comes to this radical concept? If you’re looking for more research-informed reframes and mantras, download our new free guide for ALL of Upbringing’s Keys to Show Up + Grow Up with your sensitive + strong-willed kids! We’re all growing up together. Visit the website: www.upbringing.co

Hannah + Kelty — Fri, 12 Aug 2022 09:40:56 -0700

GUEST SERIES // H+K on The 3 in 30 Podcast - 3 tools to support sibs with a new baby

Hannah + Kelty — Mon, 04 Apr 2022 20:25:25 -0700

We loved connecting with Rachel of the 3 in 30 podcast about supporting our older siblings when a new baby comes into the family!

From Rachel's show notes:

For all you mamas of one out there, what do you envision when you imagine adding a second baby to your family? And for all of your mamas of multiple out there, what do you remember about adding a second baby to your family? My guests on the podcast today are Hannah and Kelty, the twin sisters and founders of the parenting movement Upbringing.

They said this to me and it resonated so deeply that I just had to write it down. Kelty said: “I thought [adding another baby] would mean more love, more snuggles, more squidgy little feet, more laughter, more connection. And it definitely did add all of that! But I didn't realize all the other more things that would happen. More crying, more anxiety, more stress, more messes, more juggling, and more divide and conquer existence with my partner…” Doesn't that sound about right?

Adding a new baby to your family, whether it's your first baby or your fifth, always comes with a lot of emotions and change--all the highs and lows! And that is why today's guests Hannah and Kelty are so passionate about helping families to ease this transition and why they have created an online course called Right From the Start, which supports parents during the first year of a baby's life.

In nine modules over eight weeks, Right from the Start will help you to:

Not just focused on quick fixes for daily challenges, this course will help you lay the critical groundwork for a lifelong relationship with your child based in trust, collaboration and respect. ✨

If you’re expecting or are the parent of a child under 1, the Right from the Start course is for you.

Tune in for our interview with Cindy Wang Brandt of the Parenting Forward Podcast and parenting community!

In this episode we talked about:

How Upbringing came to be.
Why we should talk about kids on a spectrum of diversity that’s related to their sensitivity and spiritedness.
What sensitivity and spiritedness mean.
Why we need to accept our kids exactly as they are.
How to simultaneously self-regulate and teach your children how to regulate themselves.
How to navigate your resentment towards your kids’ freedom.
How to teach your kids to be fully themselves in a world with social constructs.
Why your most important job as a parent is to teach your kids self-awareness.
Why we need to redefine safety as former people-pleasers.
What consent-based parenting is and how to practice it.
Why parenting isn’t about perfection but repairing connecting.

The Parenting Forward podcast features interviews with thought leaders from progressive faith and non-faith spaces, resources to create better practices in parenting and life with children. They believe parenting is revolutionary, that if we change the way we parent, we can change the world. Follow Cindy and her amazing work!

Every feel flooded? Triggered? Too emotionally hijacked to respond calmly to your kids' big feelings and challenging behaviors? Join our conversation with Jen Lumanlan of Your Parenting Mojo to talk about ways to calm our minds and bodies so we don't keep losing our shit on our kids!

Sliding scale pricing available -- Doors close Wednesday, February 23rd!

Taming Your Triggers is a research-based approach that provides a solid foundation of tools and provides support, a nonjudgmental presence, and even lasting friendship through the community.

When you join the Taming Your Triggers workshop, you'll learn:

- What is a trigger, and how to identify yours

- How to help your child WANT to cooperate with you, so you don't have to lose your cool

- Where triggers come from - examining previously experienced trauma, as well as the stresses of daily life

- How to use mindfulness (in just a few minutes a day!) to help you avoid being triggered in the first place, and respond more effectively when you are occasionally still triggered

- How to recognize when you're in frame of mind that makes you susceptible to feeling triggered, and take specific steps to make yourself more trigger-proof

CLICK TO LEARN MORE! Sliding scale pricing available -- Doors close Wednesday February 23rd!

LIVE Q&A SERIES // Triggered by messes, screaming in the car, sibling fights, not listening, being bullied!

Parenting For Sanity + Social Change — Sun, 13 Feb 2022 19:55:32 -0800

Feeling triggered by your kids' big feelings and challenging behaviors? Doors are open for the Taming Your Triggers Workshop by Your Parenting Mojo! We LOVE taking this workshop and can't recommend it enough to our community.

This is the last week to sign up… Learn more about the amazing elements of the workshop HERE! We are so excited to begin with you, so make sure to register by Feb 23!

Taming Your Triggers is a 10-week workshop for parents who have big reactions to their child’s (mis)behavior, and who want to change their interactions with their child. Instead of focusing on the child’s behavior, the workshop helps parents to understand the true sources of their triggered feelings (which often lie in the trauma they’ve experienced as children), begin to heal themselves, and learn more effective ways to interact with their children in difficult moments.

Each week they receive a short module of content to read and a homework assignment. They join a supportive online community (not on Facebook!) and have the option to pair up with a partner to hold each other (gently!) accountable to achieve the benefits they sign up for.

LEARN MORE HERE! Register by February 23rd!

GUEST SERIES // H+K on The About Consent Podcast - Power With vs Power Over Parenting

Hannah + Kelty — Thu, 10 Feb 2022 14:53:12 -0800

Tune in for our interview with Rosalia of the About Consent Podcast and Consent Parenting Community!

In this episode we talked about:

How we got started and why it was important to teach consent principles to our kids
What our ‘freedoms’ model is all about
How our parenting practices intersect with consent parenting and feminism
How parents can enjoy these practices and let go of the guilt of not always getting it right
And more!

Rosalia Rivera is a passionate consent educator, child sexual abuse prevention expert, sexual literacy advocate, TEDx speaker, change agent, and survivor turned thriver. Her mission is to #1: To help parents & caregivers to empower the children in their lives through consent education (and irradicate child sexual abuse like we irradiated polio), #2: To help childhood sexual trauma survivors find their voice, rediscover their power and reclaim their innate sexual divinity and #3: To dismantle shame around sexuality through education and awareness.

On her podcast, she offers education, information, resources, and inspiration to help you achieve your most beautiful life- because she believes we all have the right to live a life of internal peace, freedom, and joy. Each week, she connects with a guest mental health professional, trauma specialist or wellness expert surrounding all the topics discussed on her platform, offering expertise, advice, tools, and resources.

GUEST SERIES // H+K on The Peace & Parenting Podcast - Redefining Parenting: Cooperation, Not Control

Hannah + Kelty — Sun, 07 Nov 2021 09:38:27 -0800

Tune in for our interview with Michelle of The Peace and Parenting podcast (https://pca.st/CkuZBG) Subscribe and follow to find out how to come to parenting through the lens of connection and cooperation as she navigates through a parenting topic each week. Michelle is a mother of two girls, as well as a former teacher and counselor turned Certified Parenting Instructor.

In today's episode, Michelle has us on to discuss a new approach to connecting with our kids, so we can raise young adults that have a stronger sense of self and a more stable approach to life.

We explore why we believe that by choosing to connect with our kids instead of controlling them, it can result in a relationship that positively reinforces self-discipline and accomplishing tasks for themselves-- instead of them simply following our words.

Episode Highlights:

Who We Are
The parenting dynamics of old
Why the old dynamics need to change
What you can do instead of power-parenting
Focus on building relationships with your kids
How to approach your kids to get a better response
Kids and their safe spaces
