“In the 21st Century the whole thing is creativity
and you can’t measure it, the way children were taught in the past
was getting them ready for this century because they have to be creative
and have several different jobs in a life time. There has to be growth
in every sector to let the creativity out. We are going through a paradigm
shift and new ideas do count”.
Genius at Work, interview with Bernadette
Tynan by Catherine Fox, Australian Financial Review, Boss Magazine, on
work, education and creativity in 21st Century.

Bernadette Tynan talks
about some of the themes and ideas in her book:
“Einstein has never been far from my mind when I wrote this book.
Everyone knows him as successful scientist and outstanding researcher
in his field. But life was not always so smooth for him. He encountered
his first set backs in life early in his youth. But he didn’t give
up, he was determined to find out what worked for him, and never let anyone
set limits for him, - he set his own targets and limits and believed
in himself. That belief started from a young age and was nurtured by his
parents. His parents didn’t force him to succeed, they supported
him as best they could, with love, knowledge, and an open mind when it
came to letting him make informed decisions about his future. The world
has changed a lot since then, but one thing hasn’t changed: the
importance of knowledge and the meeting of knowledge with that brilliant
and natural gift all children are born with: creativity and imagination.
There isn’t
a test in the world that can measure these magic human factors, nor capture
the full rainbow of gifts every child possesses. Research has mushroomed
in recent years about how the mind works, how children think and learn,
even the importance of diet and exercise in basic brain maintenance – for
all ages. I wanted to put all that important knowledge in an easy-to-use
book that was written with the busy parent of today in mind; a book that
put all that knowledge at parent’s and children’s fingertips,
and forged a link between schools, parents and children also. Everyone
can use this book, and I have had adults say it has helped them as well
as their children.
"Every child is an individual as their own thumb print.
No one system or theory of learning will work for every child. One size
doesn’t
and never can or should be forced to fit all in learning. In an age when
we have started to personalise our medicine, food and clothing to suit
our own specific needs, this book shows how your child can tailor-make
a system of learning that works for them, grows with them as they grow,
and puts all the knowledge they need to do this, and realise their potential,
in the best hands possible - their own. Once they have that
knowledge then as every parent and teacher knows - not even the sky
is the limit. Every child is a special star, and I am rooting for all of
them!”
Bernadette Tynan, Author of the best selling
book Your Child Can Think Like a Genius & Founder of the Charity Beautiful
Minds.
Since
being brought out only this Spring 2004, Bernadette Tynan’s
book is currently being translated into several languages world wide,
including Chinese, Russian, Korean, Polish, Norwegian, and Hebrew.
