Atticus as a Father

My opinion on Atticus's parenting skills is that he is a good parent in that he lets his children explore and discover new things on their own. I think that he loves his children he just chooses not to show as much emotion and feeling as most parents would. He seems to be very stoic to me and not willing to show any sort of emotion towards anything. He shows this stoicness on page 96 when he shoots the diseased Tim Johnson. This also reaveals that there may be things about Atticus that could be waiting to be reavealed(much like his keen ability to shoot).
