Olweus' strategy did not involve swift and severe punishment for bullying behavior. Instead, it focused on helping children learn better ways to interact with each other through awareness-raising campaigns, classroom discussions, and other means. The strategy did not aim to transfer responsibility from parents but rather emphasized the need for a collaborative effort between school and home to address bullying. Finally, the strategy recommended timely interventions even before bullying reached the physical stage, which is consistent with the proactive approach advocated by Olweus.
