How Parents NEED To Talk To Their Children W: Elaine C Walker Ep53

Elaine Cunningham-Walker is Forbes Featured and Award Winning Educational Strategist and founder of Global Education consultancy GMA Education. Today we talk about where she sees parents going wrong, how we should be talking to our children and how she’s challenging her own beliefs as a mother. We also talk about cultural influences and redefining your educational journey. Elaine is the mother of two award winning children who were endorsed by MENSA when they appeared on Channel 4 series Child Genius in 2015. We also talk about the power of trusting your children, breaking the stigma of how you ‘should’ parent and how you children are already different based on the order in which they’re born. Elaine’s experience in raising genius children and securing them at top boarding schools with music and drama scholarships, has led to parents reaching out to her asking how they can get the best out of their children at home and in the field of Education. The Consultancy specialises in bespoke educational roadmaps, tuition and strategies to help children win places at top boarding schools including St Pauls, Ashdown House School, Eton, Harrow, Lancing College and Shrewsbury School. Elaine’s Mantra is ‘There is Genius in every child, just needs nurturing’ Elaine also has a passion for women being at the top of every sphere of their life. She has several communities Sister Circle, Networks of Power, Women & Wealth and Elite Mums Network. She has started the GMA Group which embodies all of her passions and the education consultancy.
