Discipline a child this way.
1. Start early
Disciplining your child should start early as this gives him a head start in life and puts him on the right track from early in life. Discipline and boundaries implemented early helps your child gains more freedom from a young age.
2. Consequences
Effective child discipline involves setting boundaries or limits for your child and having consequences if he over-steps them or doesn’t do as he’s asked. When you child exhibits unacceptable behavior then he has to learn that certain consequences will follow his actions.
3. Don’t Punish Out Of Anger
When your child misbehaves it can be upsetting especially if you’re in a hurry or tired. It can be very tempting to punish him out of your anger and feelings. This is best avoided. Find a way of giving yourself a few seconds to calm down.
4. Be Consistent.
The most important thing in relation to disciplining your child is consistency. If you’re inconsistent in what you allow you child to do he’ll feel insecure and will learn that you’re not a person who’s to be trusted. Always follow through with any punishment you threaten or promises you make.
5. Give Choices
Make opportunities each day for your child to have the chance to make choices for himself. This gives your child more power over his own life and allows him to learn responsibility. It also saves arguments and builds into his life self-control which is the results you want from your discipline and boundaries.
Discipline and boundaries are something that children need and we don’t help our children by withholding them.
Make a difference to your child’s life by implementing effective child discipline strategies.

You can’t really ask that.. a good parent, just a parent, you shouldn’t be one unless you’re a good one. Anyways, a good parent has been a good parent since forever. You just know. You’re already a good parent when you’re dreaming about having children when you’re a kid, you can vividly see it and you’re already making up house rules and shiz before you go to sleep.

By pretending you have some kind of manual and then lying to your friends when you beat your child and worshiping society as a false god and raising your child to, at least get a religion with a real book, quit supporting scientology,

Rylee Joyce Said:
You can use either:
1. Positive reinforcement – when the child does something desired, they should be rewarded immediately with something that is a treat to the child (eg: lolly). At first they should be rewarded every time (continuous reinforcement) but gradually reward them on random occasions when the desired behavior is shown. This is proven to be the most effective way to reinforce.
2. Negative reinforcement – teach the child that when they take away a negative stimulus (for example homework or doing the dishes) they are rewarded (example lolly or watching TV).
3. Punishment – when the child shows an undesirable behavior, they should be punished immediately afterward, if there is too long a gap then the child may be confused about the reason for their punishment. Also be sure that the punishment is relevant, for example: some children that act up in class are yelled at, which may seem like a punishment, but they are rewarded by receiving attention from the teacher. so the form of punishment must be thought out and relevant.
However, disciplining isn’t the sole way to becoming great parents, children make mistakes, we all do, and parents should be their to guide and help them try to make the right decisions. Hope i could help
