The correct answer is True, Scout, with a renewed self - awareness, acknowledges Atticus' efforts to be of comfort to her and the reality is that he only started out this conversation at Aunt Alexander's insistence. She now "knows what he was once trying to do," in attempting to reassure his teenagers after all however also realizes that he needless to say lacks a mother's potential to nurture kids instinctively. It does not come naturally to him.
