Book Review: Knights In Training: Ten Principles for Raising Honorable, Courageous, and Compassionate Boys By Heather Haupt

Knights In Training: Ten Principles for Raising Honorable, Courageous, and Compassionate Boys

By Heather Haupt

FTC Required Notice:  We were sent a copy of Knights In Training: Ten Principles for Raising Honorable, Courageous, and Compassionate Boys written by Heather Haupt for the purpose of writing this review.  There was no cost or obligation attached to receiving this review copy.

Knights In Training is a very interesting read.  It takes a novel approach to raising little young men in this politically correct world.

Boys in public school are told to sit in their desks, not talk, sit still, and pay attention.  The problem is that little boys just aren’t wired this way.

If a young boy uses his fingers to make a gun at school, parents will be called, counselors will be involved, and cooler heads will not prevail.

In Knights in Training, Heather Haupt has a different approach to raising little boys. Instead of trying to make little boys into something they are not, she suggests channeling this raw energy into a unique way to teach little boys the appropriate time and place for weapons and rough housing.

In short, Knights in Training turns a problem into a very creative way to raise well-behaved little men.

This book is very well-written, very well-researched and thought out.  The author actually used this approach with her three young men.  And, it worked. We give Knights in Training all five stars on our scale of zero to five stars.

If you have young boys, you may well want to read Knights in Training.  It is a great way to turn all that pent up energy into good behavior.

Book Review: Put the Disciple into Discipline: Parenting with Love and Limits

Book Review: Put the Disciple into Discipline: Parenting with Love and Limits
By by Erin MacPherson and Ellen Schuknecht                                                               

Put the Disciple into Discipline: Parenting with Love and Limits is scheduled to be released June 20, 2017, but you can preorder it right now and be one of the first to receive it.

We were sent a review copy by the publicist so that we might write a review and help spread the word about this great book.

This is not your typical parenting book.  In fact, we have read many, many books on parenting and have never seen anything quite like it.  Gone are the time outs, spanking, groundings and restrictions.

What, you say?  What’s left?  This book is a Christian-based approach to disciplining your child.

Put the Disciple into Discipline was written by a mother-daughter team.  This would have been helpful, but not terribly important, information early in the book. However, we don’t really find that out until late in the book.

That’s okay though. This book is chock full of anecdotes and some good common sense advice that is not so common these days.  If we were to sum up the approach to this book, we would have to say that it is sort of like, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.  Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a life time.”

Punish a child and you get the results you seek for a short time.  Teach him the proper way to behaving in a loving, Christian way, and you get the proper results for a lifetime.

You are not going to get an answer for every discipline problem you face. However, you will get ideas about how to face problems not even mentioned in this book.

Put the Disciple into Discipline is chock full of Biblical references.  This mother/daughter tag team takes turns writing chapters and answering questions throughout the book.

We will be adding Put the Disciple into Discipline to the recommended reading list for How to Manage Your Monkey.  You may also want to visit their blogs at:

www.christianmamasguide.com and www.familywings.org

We give Put the Disciple into Discipline all five stars on our scale of zero to five stars.  It would make a wonderful gift to parents who are struggling with trying to raise Christian children.  It would also be a great idea to purchase an extra copy and give it to your church library.
