I think Atticus is a good model for an ideal parent because he caring, shows great courage throughout the book. Also I think he's a good father because he always wanted the best for his kids.

He taught them some of life's valuable lessons and morals to go by.
Mr. Duvitch is indeed a good father this can be shown by three main actions that he took throughout the book. He works hard for his family providing them with food; he has so little but gives so much away and therefore a positive example for his children; and he puts all of his time and effort into his family. For these three main reasons and many more he is a great father. Firstly, Mr. Duvitch works hard for his family providing them with a source of income and food. This is shown in the story on page 6 when it says “Proudly, oh, so proudly, Mr. Duvitch exhibited the catch that would probably feed his family for the better part of a week: a fine mess of bass, perch and sunfish, all of them alive, as far as I could see, and swimming around in the oaken washtub in which they had been dropped.” This shows that he gives everything to feed his family, is proud of his contribution to his family and will endure endless mosquito bites and the burning sun in order to make his family happy.
Atticus Finch is the single parent of Scout and Jem, who places great importance on being a righteous and good man. Although Atticus is a widower, he is very responsible and takes care of his children by keeping a good job and hiring a good nanny to look after them when he works. He is a moral man that doesn’t ask for glory or credit and the way he loves his children reflects this virtue of him. Jem and Scout have great affection towards their father; every afternoon they run to meet him because they are excited to see him. Atticus is very caring and patient parent because he always makes time to read with his children and listen to every word they have to say.

The main protagonist, Reverend Stephen Kumalo, showed several times throughout the story what it truly means to have moral courage. Stephen Kumalo is a very humble Father and husband who has an astonishing amount of love for his country and family and has spent his whole life in the village of Ndotsheni.
