Help parents with the questions that continue at home
HumanUp gives parents a place to talk through what’s happening with their child and figure out what to try or say next, with guidance built in partnership with twelve leading parenting experts.
Homework · motivation · school stress · friendships · behavior · big emotions · screens · independence · transitions · and more
The school day ends. The parenting questions don’t.
A teacher may identify a concern, but parents still have to navigate what happens next: the homework fight, the anxious morning, the friendship problem, the screen battle, or the conversation their child doesn’t want to have.
HumanUp gives parents a private place to work through what comes next.
Practical help at home
Parents can talk through homework, motivation, school stress, friendships, behavior, transitions, screens, independence, and what to say after a difficult school day.
Built in partnership with leading experts
HumanUp is built in partnership with twelve leading experts in parenting and child development, whose expertise spans learning, ADHD, behavior, screens, motivation, resilience, independence, and more.
Separate from the school
HumanUp is a parent resource. Schools and teachers do not see family conversations, and HumanUp does not replace communication with teachers, counselors, or other school professionals.
The questions that come home from school
Our child understands the work but can’t get started. How do we help without managing every assignment?
The teacher says our child is capable, but they’ve stopped putting in effort. How do we figure out what’s really going on?
Our child says school is fine but falls apart at home. How do we make sense of two very different pictures?
Our child is being left out. How do we know when to step in, coach from the sidelines, or give them room?
The teacher raised something we’ve never seen at home. How do we stay curious and figure out what the difference is telling us?
If we step back, things sometimes fall apart. If we step in, we end up doing too much. How do we find the right balance?
Built in partnership with twelve leading experts in parenting and child development
They include physicians, psychologists, researchers, clinicians, and bestselling authors whose careers have been dedicated to understanding children, learning, development, and families.
Together, their work spans more than 700 peer-reviewed papers and many of the parenting books families and professionals already know.

A simple way to introduce HumanUp
Language you can use as it is, without overclaiming what HumanUp does.
“For the parenting questions that come up at home, there’s a resource called HumanUp. It gives parents practical guidance built in partnership with leading parenting experts.”
“This is the kind of situation you can talk through in HumanUp. You can share what you’re seeing at home and what we’re seeing at school, and it can help you think through what to try or say next.”
“You may want to keep HumanUp for the questions that come up after this conversation, especially once you see how things go at home.”
Designed to complement the support families already receive
HumanUp helps parents work through the parenting decisions and conversations surrounding school.
It does not provide legal or special-education advice, school advocacy, diagnosis, therapy, crisis support, or student monitoring, and it does not replace teachers, counselors, IEP or 504 teams, or direct communication with the school.
