All 5th Year LCVP students are on work experience next week and all have secured work placements. We are very grateful to employers for mentoring our students . Students have been well prepared for their placement and are well aware of the rules regarding punctuality, dress code, and that mobile phones should not be used at the work station. Also if for some reason a student cannot attend the job, the first call must be to the employer and a second to the office here in school. Students are not insured if we are unaware of their whereabouts. Finally Mr. Cahillane and I wish all involved a happy and useful learning experience next week. L.G.

"Although children can suffer greatly during parental conflict, separation and divorce, the good news is that there are positive things you can do as a parent to reduce the negative impact on your children and help them cope. At a time when you may be at your weakest, you are called to be at your strongest for the sake of your children. Children cope better when parents learn hoe to manage the separation." Professor John Sharry, Parenting When Separated (2014) With a growing number of parents separating how can we help ? If you are a professional working with parents or children who are going through or have gone through a separation or divorce, the Parents Plus evidence-based 'Parenting When Separated' programme will give you the skills to help families find solutions to the problems that separation can bring. Drawing on international long-term evidence, the Parenting when Separated Programme will equip you with the skills to empower parents to: Solve co-parenting problems in a positive way that focus on the needs of children Cope with the emotional impact of separation and learn stress management techniques Help their children cope with the impact of the separation both emotionally and practically Enhance communication with their children and with their children’s other parent What PARENTS say? "I attended the Parenting When Separated course last year. To be honest, the relationship between my ex and myself was desperate, even though we were separated a while. I wanted to be a good parent, thought they were the bad parent and we couldn't get beyond fighting about everything to do with the kids. This affected our kids. I thought a miracle couldn't sort out our toxic relationship. Fast forward a year on and what I learnt at the Parents Plus course has changed my life. Yes I am still separated but I learnt how to communicate with my ex in a much better way. I learnt to park my own hurt and for us to work together for the sake of our kids. Our children are in a better place because of this course. We are in a better place because of this course. I am so glad that I saw that poster advertising Parenting When Separated. It has made us better parents as it has helped us to focus on the important things. Anyone going though a break up should do it. It will help you and your kids."

Professor Sharry shares his clinical expertise on a common problem during separation Q: I separated from my wife two years ago when my daughter was fourteen months old. It was a difficult time, with a lot of conflict and I did not see my daughter for a few months. About four months ago, I got back into regular contact with my daughter through the courts and I have access twice a week. The problem is that my daughter is often reluctant to come with me and my ex-wife tells me that she is anxious about the contact and upset when she comes back. I am not sure whether to believe my ex who just wants me out of her life. What can I do? A: In the context of conflictual separation, it is a challenge for the parent who leaves the home (usually the father) to maintain contact with children, especially when they are very young. Your situation is made harder by the fact that there was a long gap of no contact with your daughter, meaning that you are effectively at the stage of trying to reestablish a relationship with her. Given that she is so young, and primarily attached to her mother, she may well be anxious about the contact and unsettled by this. FIND A WAY OF GETTING THE SUPPORT OF HER MOTHER The key to moving forward is to try and get the co-operation of your daughter's mother. The more that she can be positive and reassuring about your role in your daughter's life, the easier your daughter will settle. When her mother raises concerns, ask for her advice and assistance in helping your daughter settle and enjoy contact with you. Can you change how contact and visits are organised to make your daughter more comfortable? Could you spend more time playing with her in her home, with her own toys and with the clear support of her mother? Or could the three of you visit a playground together and let your daughter see her mother's support on the trip? The more your daughter sees the two of you communicating civilly and normally, the easier it will be to have contact. Alternatively, you could visit another family member that she knows well during contact, such as a grandparent, or take her to an activity that she is familiar with, as this might put her at ease. If it is hard to negotiate with her mother about contact, do consider getting some help and going to family mediation or support services. (Extract from Parenting When Separated.
