A dad needs to be even tempered, have a solid life style policy and know when to call out bull shit when he sees it. He doesn't need to be right but stable and decent helps.
The biggest thing I found was to teach him that his word is his bond and to man up when he fucks up because in this life we are going to fuck up and we have to learn from it.
That is a hard lesson to learn and hard one to stick by.
I used to teach in Japan and I'd push the don't lie routine. If they told me the truth I'd call them dumb asses and let them off easy, if they'd I'd rip them a new one and just drill into the kids. I told them that they are kids and screwing up is normal, but lieing isn't something I could allow. Amazingly, the bad kids got this but the sissy boys didn't.
