We all carry some of our parents traits but being aware of the traits you did not appreciate in your parents will help you avoid them.

Just very easily by being yourself. You are not your parent, and there is no way you could be another person. Knowing what you did not like as daughter/son you will help you to avoid behaviors you did not like. You are the only person who can decide what kind of parent you want to be and since there are no instruction in parenting, you will grow your experience day by day. You most probably won't be perfect, none is, but as long you'll do the best you can and you'll be able to forgive yourself when you don't manage it, you will be a perfect parent.
