Atticus was a fabulous parent. In the text, we learn that he wasn't a fun or playful father, but he did take parenting seriously. What he didn't do in terms of play.... he made up for in moral lessons. He raised his children to know the difference between right and wrong.... justice and injustice. He set a positive example.... he was fair and loving. To put it simply.... he prepared his children for life and adulthood. I think that makes him an excellent parent.
