Based on the quote in which Atticus says that before he can tell others what to do, he needs to be able to listen and stand by his own beliefs, I would have to believe that Atticus is a responsible parent that makes sure that he practices what he preaches. I believe that he is trying to teach Jem and Scout that in life, they should always follow and do what they believe in. One place where this occurs in the book is when Scout comes home from school and asks her father about representing a negro. In response to this, Atticus explained to his children that in order to follow what he believes in, he had to ignore the chatter from the town that he should not defend Tom Robinson. This shows that Atticus believes that in order for him to be able to live with himself, he had to do what he believed in. #admireatticus #practicewhatyoupreach #respect
