KNIGHTS IN TRAINING

Bringing chivalry back into our modern-day world, this book shows us how to inspire today's generation of young boys to pursue honor, courage, and compassion.

Boys. They are unruly, lawless creatures with atrocious manners, disregarding authority and wreaking havoc everywhere they go…or so conventional wisdom will have us believe. A mother of three boys, Heather Haupt dared to reach for a higher standard. As she prepared to teach her three sons about the Middle Ages, she had an epiphany: what if she could train her boys to be modern-day knights?

Drawing on the original code of chivalry, Haupt crafted a code of conduct that emphasized honor, courage, and compassion. When she expanded the code into a curriculum, she was surprised by the enthusiastic response on her blog – she was far from the only parent out there who wanted to raise boys with classic integrity and civility. In KNIGHTS IN TRAINING: BRINGING BACK CHIVALRY INTO A MODERN DAY WORLD, Haupt equips parents with the principles and the applications to instill into their boys foundational values that will guide them for the rest of their lives.

Heather Hauptis the mother of three knights-in-training and a spunky little princess. She wants to raise children who will make a difference in this world. As an educator, writer, and popular conference speaker, she inspires parents to pursue a loving and holistic approach to education and parenting. She has taught in a variety of settings ranging from preschool nature classes all the way up to college biology labs and now homeschools her four children.
