Meet the Founder — Adel Galal
Adel Galal is the founder and primary author of ParntHub.com.
He is 58 years old, a father of four — three sons and one daughter — and a grandfather of four — one grandson and three granddaughters. He has over 33 years of hands-on parenting and grandparenting experience, having personally navigated every stage of child development from newborn care through to teenage years.
Adel created ParntHub because he could not find a parenting resource that combined real family experience with genuinely trustworthy, research-backed guidance. So he built one.
Every article on ParntHub is written by Adel — rooted in his lived experience across multiple generations of family life and strengthened by his study of the world's leading parenting researchers and practitioners.

A Personal Note from Adel
"I started ParntHub because parenting was the hardest and most important thing I ever did — and I wanted to create the resource I wished had existed when I was a young father.
I have made every mistake. I have had conversations I dreaded. I sat with a teenager at midnight, not knowing what to say. I have also watched four children grow into adults I am genuinely proud of — and now I am watching my grandchildren begin the same journey.
Everything I write comes from that experience. Not from a textbook. From real family life, across generations.
My goal is to be the calm, experienced voice in your corner — the one that helps you feel less alone and more equipped, whatever today is throwing at you."
— Adel Galal, Founder of ParntHub.com
