Your Family Constitution
Modern Parents Struggle to Balance Career, Family and Personal
Needs. New Book Provides a Solution. 
Your Family Constitution Helps Busy Parents to Create Manageable Family Structure
A formerly stressed-out dad's perspective provides a
common-sense playbook to reach family harmony. As today's parents cope with scores
of competing obligations and responsibilities, raising kids with good core values is an
extreme challenge. Combine this perpetual struggle with the effects of technological
distractions, societal lack of discipline, and communication breakdowns, and it is not
hard to understand why so many parents throw up their hands in defeat and accept mere
survival.
Author Scott Gale refused to settle for survival. Instead, he designed a powerful tool that
allowed him to alleviate family challenges through the thoughtful application of clarity,
consistency and commitment (the "3Cs"). Your Family Constitution tells his story and
provides a step-by-step process that parents can follow to improve family
communication, reduce household tension, and improve the time family members spend
together.
Your Family Constitution guides the reader through a personalized journey of
introspection, visioning, household observation, prioritization, and ultimately the creation
of manageable boundaries coupled with consistent rewards and consequences. The
product of their labor is a Family Constitution, a clear and consistent set of rules
customized to the needs and circumstances of their household.
A struggling parent read the book and replied, "I really appreciated Your Family
Constitution. You are easy to read, easy to understand and easy to identify with. It seems
that intentional parenting has gotten lost, and you've provided a blueprint for creating a
family with positive family values, ideals and rules to live and grow by. So, thanks for
your courage to detail your own experience and offer personal insights for the benefit of
frustrated, busy and untrained parents."
Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist Victoria Dunckley, M.D. agrees, "Everyone wants
family harmony, but who really has it? In his innovative and pragmatic guide, Scott Gale
shares a simple process to help families understand and alleviate common family
struggles. The benefits of having your own Family Constitution are many: minimized
arguing, improved behavior, increased self esteem, and all-around healthier relationships.
Families need clear and consistent boundaries- but creating such structure is a different
story... this story."
