If this doesn't speak some major volumes about parenting I don't know what does. A white man and a black woman illegally conceive a child, thus breaking all foundational beliefs of an apartheid system. The father, leaves do to circumstance and still found a way to love and watch over his son. his mother doing whatever it takes to give him his best life all while hiding from the government and putting up with an absolute brat. That's the kind of parent I hope to be.
Trevor's mom truly is a special and godly woman. Her persistence in getting Trevor to church every Sunday is pretty amazing. She fearlessly drives through active gang violence in order to go to church. I know people who would use waking up a few minutes lat as an excuse to not go at all. This made me wonder if Christianity is still just as big there as it is in the book. I also love how they wrote letters to each other and how Trevor held his mother to the same rules she held him to. She taught him well to question authority but yet to still respect it. Mom of the year award here. Especially dealing with that little nuisance.
His father is also amazing. While he may have been absent from Trevor's life for ten years he was always present. Trevor's dad saved every newspaper article, magazine cover, and even club listings. anything with Trevor Noah written on it was kept in a scrapbook. Ten years of absence from his son's life and yet he still kept up with everything he was doing. Dad of the ten-year award right here. It would be interesting which of these skills and strategies carried over into the way Trevor raised his kids.

I think that, with some time, Trevor will grow to be as strong of a character as his parents. With Patricia and Robert around to instruct their impulsive young boy, I have a feeling Trevor won't be "bratty" for very long.
