Help families with the parenting questions that continue between visits
HumanUp gives parents a trusted place to work through everyday parenting challenges between visits, with guidance built in partnership with twelve leading parenting experts. It gives families somewhere to turn for appropriate non-medical parenting questions that might otherwise come back to the practice through calls, messages, or the patient portal.
Behavior, sleep, screens, school stress, feeding, ADHD, motivation, independence, big emotions, and more.
Parenting support for the moments between appointments
The pediatric medical home is built around continuous, family-centered care. But many of the questions parents carry home are not medical questions. They are the everyday decisions, hard moments, and conversations that happen after the visit is over.
HumanUp gives families a trusted place to work through those parenting moments, while medical and developmental concerns stay where they belong: with the child’s pediatrician and care team.
Support families between visits, and help relieve portal burden
More questions between visits
Parents increasingly reach back out to practices with everyday parenting questions through calls, messages, and patient portals.
Limited time to answer them
Those questions can take meaningful physician and staff time outside the visit, even when they do not require medical care.
A trusted place for parenting questions
HumanUp gives families expert-grounded support for everyday parenting challenges, while medical and developmental concerns stay with the pediatrician and care team.
Parenting questions do not wait for the next appointment
Many of the questions parents carry home are not medical questions. They are the everyday decisions, hard moments, and conversations that happen after the visit is over.
They happen at bedtime, after school, in the middle of a meltdown, and after a new diagnosis. HumanUp gives parents somewhere to work through those moments with expert-grounded parenting guidance.
Practical support between visits
Parents can talk through behavior, sleep routines, screens, school stress, motivation, feeding, ADHD-related challenges, independence, sibling conflict, and other everyday parenting situations.
Built in partnership with leading experts
HumanUp is built in partnership with twelve leading experts in parenting and child development, including physicians, psychologists, researchers, clinicians, and bestselling authors.
Private for families
No ads. Your conversations are not used for advertising. Practices do not see what parents ask or discuss in HumanUp.
The everyday challenges that continue at home
The same rule keeps getting broken. What’s getting in the way?
The meltdowns have a pattern. How do we understand it?
Bedtime strategies keep failing. What is specific to this child?
Every transition becomes a fight. What’s actually driving it?
School seems fine, but home says otherwise. What are we missing?
When does helping become too much helping?
A diagnosis often arrives long before specialized support does
A child may receive an ADHD diagnosis well before a family can get in to see a specialist, and parents are left with dozens of questions in the meantime. HumanUp gives them immediate access to practical guidance informed by the authorized work of Ned Hallowell, MD, while they continue working with their child’s pediatrician and care team.
Built in partnership with twelve leading experts in parenting and child development
They include board-certified pediatricians and physicians, psychologists, researchers, clinicians, and bestselling authors whose careers have been dedicated to understanding children and families.
Together, their work spans more than 700 peer-reviewed papers and many of the parenting books families and professionals already know.

“For parenting questions that come up between visits, there’s a resource called HumanUp. It gives parents practical guidance built in partnership with leading parenting experts.”

Parenting guidance, not medical care
HumanUp is an educational parenting resource. It does not provide medical care, diagnosis, treatment, therapy, or crisis support, and it is not a replacement for a child’s pediatrician or other professional care.
For health or developmental concerns, families should continue to work directly with their pediatrician and care team.
The goal is not to turn parents into diagnosticians. It is to help them work through everyday parenting challenges and recognize when a question belongs with their pediatrician or another professional.
