Bernadette Tynan’s message is simple but powerful in its reach: EVERY child has gifts, as unique to them as their own thumb print. Hence her now world wide TV series based upon her proven and successful method Thumb Print Learning ® TM ©. As she has demonstrated fully, time and again on national TV, not every child’s gifts can be captured on simple pen and paper tests. And we need to do more to celebrate and encourage the FULL diversity of our children’s gifts and talents. For example imagination and creativity, entrepreneurship, performance and leadership qualities are all prime examples of this.  The fact is every child has something, a unique gift of their own, all they need is someone to identify and support that gift and they are on a sure fire path to success. Toward this end Bernadette has dedicated her life and work to putting into the hands of parents, in an easily accessible, step by step method, the essential knowledge EVERY parent needs to make the MOST, and ultimately BEST informed choices and decisions when it comes to identifying and supporting their own children’s natural gifts and talents, - wherever you are in the world Bernadette wishes you health, happiness and success, and now with this website, like those parents she has worked one to one with, she is with you every step of the way.

Bernadette’s gift is that of being an excellent communicator. For this reason her books and TV series have been easily translatable into several languages world wide. Bernadette combines a vast knowledge and world wide experience, with her warm, supportive and positive personality that is in itself infectious, and helps empowers millions of parents globally with step-by-step easy activities they can do at home, and see their child shine. Bernadette has but one message for all children: You are Brilliant! So Always Remember That!

In her latest TV series, Bernadette works with a range of children and their parents, improving problem areas such as Mathematics to Spelling to discovering the hidden signs that indicate a range of talents in seemingly ‘ordinary children’, including a young entrepreneur, to a great artist who shows her work at just 11 years old to the National Gallery in London, to young marine biologists and a whole range of other great talents. With visible, tangible and excellent results, (the child who was a great leader and was struggling with mathematics is now top set for Mathematics and Captained her soccer team to take them to a county win!), Bernadette shows parents the secrets, step by step, of how to identify and nurture a range of different kinds of gifts and talents. Receiving excellent reviews for her work and practical successes achieved with each of the children following Bernadette’s unique programme, her 6 part TV series, first aired on mainstream national terrestrial Channel Five TV in UK, Bernadette has featured on Channel 4, BBC and ITV, with the series having aired or currently airing in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South America, Israel, Award Winning Malaysian Airways, and most recently, as a world first, on Central Chinese Television with an audience reach of 1 billion Chinese households.
