Children who bully are probably experiencing unsupportive and harmful parenting. From a primary prevention perspective this suggests that “job one” for  anti-bullying coalitions ought to be figuring out how to improve the overall quality of parenting in communities. 

One innovative and simple thing everyone can do to elevate and level the quality of parenting in communities is to put a parenting tips bumper sticker on their vehicle.  Just driving your car will teach thousands of people something important about parenting.   There are fifty-one different parenting messages to choose from and businesses and organizations can order sets of the stickers for table or counter displays.
