Atticus as a Father

To me Atticus seem like the kind of parent who does not interfere directly in his kids lives. To me it seemed more like he would try and instill his views as a parent on to Jem and Scout. Most of these views seem to be like we're no better than any one else and "You never really understand a person until you consider things form his point of view..." p.30. And more of the like and yes I can begin a sentence with the word and.

When Jem and scout are fighting he went and broke it up. I think this shows he doesn't want his children fighting. When Jem is playing Boo Radley he just tells him to put the scissors away. I think he wanted Jem to learn for him self not to do that. I think that my parents wouldn't be much like Atticus but then again they haven't been many of the same situtions and I spose I wouldn't mind having a parent like him.
