What a great question. We wrote a whole book about this! The Bullying Antidote practically STARTS with a conversation about ACEs, how they are a national health issue, and how they are related to bullying. We take a good look at the history of parenting and invite parents to look at their family's past with a compassionate eye. Most of the book is about positive parenting skills, which of course can prevent ACEs in the next generation.
Schools are working hard on bullying issues... so hard now with various social/media/societal factors encouraging rudeness and power dominance. We wrote this book for TEACHERS to recommend to PARENTS... to raise awareness about how mainstream parenting practices model and create tolerance for bullying, and to provide support in changing negative family patterns.
Please check out The Bullying Antidote... know that it is a resource...
