“How Imperfect Parents Lead Great Families” Gives Busy Parents Help Creating Family Communication

CLEVELAND, OH, August 15, 2016 - It started with a professional businessman realizing he was coming up short at home. In one moment, the words from his young son explaining that he was failing in school and that his dad's answer of "try harder" was only making things worse, Dale Vernon sensed it was time to rethink everything.

Dale realized that in a busy world he had lost touch with what was going on with his wife, Monica, and their three children. Working with Monica, a teacher, the path to a better home life started with an intentional approach to daily communication in their family. As they worked through their issues, they created a playbook that helped them focus on putting down the devices and talking directly to each other. 

Forget about solutions for parenting written by PhDs that don't understand the real world difficulties of two working parents trying to raise kids in a busy, distracting world. Those books focus on what you should do. The result of Dale and Monica's efforts, a book called "How Imperfect Parents Lead Great Families" gives parents a playbook on HOW to lead their family. Now, they have built an organization to help spread their message and help other families.  

The impact of this has already resonated with families who read the book. During a two month soft launch, it received more than 60 five-star Amazon reviews, including this one from a high school football coach of 40 years:

 "I have often told my children, players, and the parents of my student-athletes, there is no book on parenting. Well, back up a bit. I found one. A great one. This book, through open and honest family discussions, discoveries, and awakenings, is the best book I have come into contact with relative to opening lines of communication." 

The focus of the book, and the ongoing efforts of the Imperfect Parents Lead organization, is on three core tenets and a framework built around them: 1. Unity: Bring Your Family Together 2. Clarity: Enhance Your Family's Communication 3. Action: Turn Effort into Experiences and Confidence.
