Parenting. This word strikes fear in a number of young parents because it’s a whole new level of responsibility; many worry that they will not be good parents and will not be able to raise their child properly. Rex and Rose Mary Walls, from Jeannette Walls’ memoir The Glass Castle, are extremely strange people who live their life differently and it would seem like raising children would be a failure for them, but in the end, their kids grow up to be very decent adults. Both of Rex and Rose Mary are good parents because they demonstrate that they care about their kids very much, they raised them to be smart and able to see things for more than they are. The first thing that makes a good parent is not how you discipline your child or what classes they take, but it is to show that you care about them.
Atticus Finch and Aunt Alexandra Having a positive attitude and fostering virtues toward children is the key they will set within the home and the community. Providing comfort, love, nurture, and freedom to develop in a tolerant atmosphere, but also constantly teaching them harsh lessons for them to avoid mistakes, and be successful in life.
