Dog
Owners – Please
Comply
There has been an increase in dog fouling in the village
of Clonegal. Clonegal Tidy Village Association asks dog owners
to restrain their dogs and not allow them roam freely through
the village. Also, dog owners who walk their dogs in the village
are asked to pick up after their dogs. Unfortunately, dog fouling
has occurred on graves and wreaths in the Cemetery on the Tullow
Road. Everybody realizes that this is very upsetting for families
who have loved ones buried in the Cemetery. Please ensure dogs
do not enter the Graveyard. Dog litter is toxic and is very
dangerous particularly to children. In the interest of health
and safety, please keep Clonegal Village and the Cemetery free
of dog fouling.

Back to School Anxiety:
Supporting your child or teenager as they return
to school
Presented by Dr Malie Coyne
Available online on all Wexford County Council Public
Library Service Facebook pages and Wexford Libraries YouTube
channel
Presented by: Dr Malie Coyne, Best-selling author, Clinical
Psychologist, Lecturer at NUI Galway, Infant Mental Health
Advocate and Mental Health Advisory Panel for A Lust for
Life
Worrying and parenting go hand in hand, especially during
times of change, and the return to school after summer break
can bring simmering anxieties to the surface for children,
teenagers and parents alike.
“Join
us for an online talk with Dr. Malie Coyne, Senior Clinical
Psychologist and Author, where
she will speak
about the anxiety children face in returning to school, and
share practical suggestions using her SAFE compassionate
approach from her critically acclaimed book 'Love in, Love
Out: A compassionate approach to parenting your anxious child'.
Malie will also dedicate time to answering questions. Malie's
approach is very down to earth, which stems from her experience
as an anxious child, from being an 'at times' struggling
parent, and from offering support to many anxious children
and parents over the years. It is hoped you'll be left with
a sense of reassurance as a parent and some very practical
tools to help you and your children.
Background:
Wexford County Council Public Library Service works in partnership
with CYPSC (Children &Young People’s
Services Committee) each year to deliver Parenting Today,
an annual programme of free talks for parents and carers
throughout Wexford County.
