Another basic tool is to begin to teach a child about bullying and the effects of bullying. Remind your child of a recent inappropriate behavior they displayed recently. Remind them what is a bully. Start by teaching them that anyone can bully and the types of bullying that occurs. You can ask them:

Did it hurt their feelings? What were the unseen effects of bullying?
Did you mean to hurt that person with types of bullying? Was it an intentional type of bullying?
How would you feel if someone did this to you? What would the effects of bullying be on you?
Why are you doing this? Angry? Want my way? What types of bullying are you displaying? What is a bully being mean?

You can then move up to teaching them about the ways children get bullied, what is a bully, the types fo bullying, the effects of bullying and what they should do about it. Use these to discuss the types of bullying:

Have you seen anybody at school harassed, hurt, or bullied at school? What types of bullying was it?

Should these types of bullying be allowed or even tolerated? Should any types of bullying be allowed or tolerated? What is a buuly allowed to exist?
What are some actions that the victim can take? What can the victim do to reduce the effects of bullying?
What would you do? What effects of bullying would you see?

Finally you can move to the highest level by teaching them to handle the crisis as the bystander by beginning a discussion:

Have you ever been with a friend while the were being bullied? What is a bully doing?
How do you think they felt? What effects of bullying persisted?
How did you feel about these types of bullying?
