It is a hard concept to actually teach. Children learn by each and every example that they encounter. If they live in a home that thrives on love and kindness, they will have a tendency toward these qualities. Children who are raised in an environment that condones yelling and hitting, will learn that this behavior is okay.
Simply talking with them about the subject, and leading by example should make a huge difference in how a child behaves. Remember, they LEARN which behaviors are acceptable or not. And their biggest examples are the people who raise them.

I just always say "how would you feel" chances are if they are the bully, someone somewhere somehow will bully them someday and put an end to it.
Most schools have a 0 tolerance for it - and parents should be cautious yet supportive to "hear" if this is happening.
Just try to tell your kids to knock it off - and that they will get in serious trouble - at school and at home.
Sometimes though it's alright to be a bully - if your little sister is getting picked on my son's followed the kid to his locker and stared him down.
My daughter has also been bullied or called names and I said just say firmly you are telling the teacher.
It worked because she did -
I have been on both ends my son has bullied and my daughters have been "teased".. bullied whatever.
Hopefully that helps? There is no secret reply but if your child is being bullied and you know of the family speak up.
Nobody likes to hear bad things about their own kid.

Well first off, there's usually a reason that a kid is a bully. It might be learned at home from an older sibling or parent, it might be insecurities, fear....who knows, but it might be helpful to get to the root of the problem, in addition to correcting the behavior. You pretty much have to catch the kid in the act, and then discipline them consistently. You tell them that treating people unkindly is simply unacceptable and mean, and then you walk them through a better behavior that would have solved the issue/problem more diplomatically than bullying.

Teach them right from wrong. If you teach your children how to treat people, then there really shouldn't be a problem with it. If your child is indeed a bully, maybe someone should give him/her a taste of their own medicine and show them how bad it feels to be bullied.

Make them aware of what it feels like to be bullied by someone else that way they will never bully some other kid again!!

my child started being a bully. we took things after things that he liked away made him stay in his room, write apology letters, everthing we could think of, even got his extra cirrular activities away from school. then a co worker told us about a show called juvies it has to with children in jail and it says why.we watched one that had to do with bad behavior in school our son watched it didn't want to end up there. i dont know how old your child is but it might work. also tell him what comes around goes around
