Advancing Parenting, advancingparenting.org, is a grassroots, Bakersfield, CA based nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring the quality of parenting in communities. Toward that end, we place concise and unambiguous parenting tips in public spaces, including but not limited to windows of stores, offices, restaurants, automobiles, and billboards. This, in an effort to elevate the quality of parenting, prevent adverse childhood experiences (ACES), and improve educational outcomes for children.
Our plan is to
1) eventually partner with the Advertising Council and employ increasingly impactful media to display the parenting tips. For example...appealing school age spokespersons and families presenting the tips on static and digital billboards and semi-trailers), and
2) expand geographically until Advancing Parenting's activities are a permanent national phenomenon.
This will take millions of dollars, but the return on investment and reduction in human suffering will be well worth it.
We began with tips on windows because it was the least expensive way to get things rolling. Turns out they're wonderfully effective, and a way for individuals and businesses to participate. Tips on vehicles will be read thousands of times by thousands of different people of all ages. Indeed, this is the essence of passive/public parenting education.
Organizations and agencies may order sets of the fifty parenting tip bumper stickers for giveaway. Visit our website, advancingparenting.org, for more information.
