About this site

Welcome to Parenting on Hard Mode! I’m Joshua Brooks, a parent navigating the wild, messy, and sometimes hilarious world of raising a child with ADHD—while having ADHD myself.

This blog is my space to share honest stories, practical tips, and little victories (and defeats) from life on the ADHD parenting rollercoaster. No judgment, no fluff—just real strategies, insights, and encouragement for parents who understand that “normal” is optional.

Whether you’re looking for routines that actually stick, ways to survive meltdowns, or just reassurance that you’re not alone, you’re in the right place. Pull up a chair, grab a coffee (or whatever keeps you going), and join the conversation.
