Atticus has a very common way of teaching, teaching his children by doing other than saying. Like when Jem destroys Mrs. Dubose's flowers Atticus gives him a quick 30 second talk and pretty much said "go solve the problem you started. So he taught Jem how to solve his own problems by having him solve it on his own. Also he has his own special quotes which are metaphorically a way to solve problems, like get into someone's skin and walk around in it for a while. As in see the world from the other persons point of view, if you have a problem with them.
I think my mom is pretty cool with things like she would say yes to parties and last minute sleepovers so she is a pretty outgoing person. But my dad seems kind of unsure and uptight about some things, he usually just says "go ask your mother," or, "as long as I'm not driving." When my mom would be fine with driving but probably wouldn't want to either. Whenever I need to make a choice my mom says it's your choice to make your old enough now, like she's being like Atticus and having me learn to make my own choices. My dad in the same situation would make me do what was right even if I have something that proved that I shouldn't go, like rowing till six thirty even if I had three hours of homework he would make me go. so my mom is pretty outgoing and fine with things, where my dad is kind of the same but a little on the do what is right side.
