(literally) To move in an upward direction; to ascend or climb.
Get up means: To move in an upward direction; to ascend or climb.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour.

get up means: To move in an upward direction; to ascend or climb.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself. A formal-English equivalent (a synonym or descriptive phrase) is usually safer in writing. When in doubt, paraphrase rather than reuse the slang form.
