Let Them Climb
Reflections on Parenting and Pediatrics through Books and Blogging.
Connections, and Conversations.
Welcome to your safe (web)space for all things parenting!
I am Dr. Lauretta Stombaugh, a mother of four beautiful children who keep me moving and challenged everyday, and a pediatric physician at Hendersonville Pediatrics. I live, work, and raise my family in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina.
Welcome! This is a place for you! A place where you can find support and be directed towards reliable, responsible, and solid information about raising your children. I am committed to this website being a positive resource where you can gather tools to help guide you on your parenting journey.
Let’s Take This Journey Together!
We all have a tendency to judge ourselves as parents. Am I doing it right? Am I making the right choice for my child and my family? In doing so, we often forget that no-one knows our children like we do. Connect with me as I dive into the challenges of my own family life.

What People Are Saying about “Let Them Climb”:
Excellent Advice
“Fantastic book! I loved the insight and enjoyed it so much that I gifted four to my sister and close girlfriends. Full of practical no nonsense wisdom and experience. It’s perfect for parents, soon to be parents and even Aunts and Godmothers. You won’t be disappointed! I did find it easy to read and I usually finished a few chapters a night between home responsibilities.”

Attainable tips on how to be a better parent, written in an easy-to-read way!
“This is a great book for any parent to read! I love how Dr. Stombaugh ravels in her own stories from growing up in New York and now raising her own children in North Carolina. She shows readers some attainable “tasks” that can help you to be a better parent. I especially liked the section on mindfulness and since reading Let Them Climb this past summer I’ve been trying to integrate this into my daily life. This is an easy-to-read, enjoyable book that’s every parent should read!”
