In our Facebook Live this week, Erin was joined by Heather Haupt.
Heather Haupt is the mother of three knights-in-training and a spunky little princess. She wants to be intentional during these years of parenting and raise children who will make a difference in this world. Recognizing the brevity of childhood and
the power of a parent’s influence, Heather both inspires and equips families toward intentional parenting, pursuing God, and delighting in the adventure of learning. She is the author of the new book Knights-in-Training: Ten Principles for Raising Honorable, Courageous, and Compassionate Boys. She writes at www.heatherhaupt.com.
