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.

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.
