In a sentence, parenthesis (also known as "brackets") are used to include one thought (or more) inside another thought without interrupting the flow or direction of the thought. (This would be the third parenthesis, by the way. You can also use them before or after a sentence, so long as it is a "non-sequitur" [meaning "does not follow" in Latin] kind of thought).
I will punctuate this sentence.
Q: "How do you punctuate this sentence? "i see a horse do you" A: I see a horse, do you? That is how you correct it, or punctuate.
A period at the end is the only punctuation in most cases. It is a declarative sentence.
After the parenthesis, ie: Jane (a timid girl) walked slowly to school. or Jane walked slowly to school (a big high school). when it is the last part of the sentence you place it inside Jane walked slowly to school (a big school.)

When a parenthesis follows a comma and ends a sentence, the closing punctuation mark should be placed after the closing parenthesis to indicate the end of the whole sentence. This format helps maintain clarity in the sentence structure and communication of ideas to the reader.
The end punctuation in a sentence with parentheses depends on the overall sentence structure. If the parentheses contain a complete sentence, the period goes inside the closing parenthesis. If the information in the parentheses is additional or clarifying, the ending punctuation goes outside the closing parenthesis.
