A good parent(character)
What makes a(n adult) good parent a good parent? We’ll that’s totally controversial,but in my own personal view a good parent (for example( would be Harper lee’s To kill a Mockingbird's Atticus.
Why I see Atticus as an excellent character to admire as a parent figure is because Atticus is selfless, wise, and loyal.

These may not sound like “parent” characteristic but for Atticus, this make me want to look up to him, and that’s what kids should feel with there parent, that they are always there for them when they need them, that you can go to your mom or dad and be able to trust what they say. Parents should be our ideals. Atticus Is a good example of what in ideal parent should be. Hes selfless, wise, and loyal. Those are good attributes to look for in a
