Advancing Parenting is all about finding innovative ways of teaching everyone about parenting...so if you're looking for a parenting class to help you with your children this is probably not the place. Our goal is to improve the overall quality of parenting in communities and thereby reduce child abuse, substance abuse, domestic violence, and other problems that stem from unsupportive and harmful parenting.

Everyone gets the opportunity to be a parenting educator!

Below are a few examples. We began with bumper stickers because it was the least expensive way to get things rolling. Turns out they're wonderfully effective. At stoplights drivers and passengers point, nod, and smile. Conversations begin and often a phone is used to take a picture of the bumper sticker.

It's also a way for organizations to participate. Schools, daycares, businesses, agencies, doctors' offices, clinics, hospitals, etc. can put sets of the fifty-one parenting tips bumper stickers in holders and place them on counters and tables so folks can help themselves.

Just one bumper sticker will be read thousands of times!

What the Future Holds

Advancing Parenting will in time

partner with the Advertising Council and employ increasingly impactful media to display the fifty-one parenting tips. Three in ten semi trailers have no graphics. This is because they are owned by leasing companies or owner operators who have no service or product to advertise. Advancing Parenting will partner with the manufacturers so these trailers roll off the assembly line with parenting tips on both sides. Imagine the impact of tens of thousands of these giant rolling billboards crisscrossing the U.S. day in and day out 365 days a year.

This will take millions of dollars in donations, but the return on investment and reduction in human suffering will be well worth it.

Advancing Parenting...we put parenting education in public where it belongs.
