Summary
It’s said when someone in the house is sitting the Leaving Cert, the whole house is sitting the Leaving Cert. And with the State exams almost upon that’s a lot of people feeling the stress. But fear not because Conversations with Parents is bringing you a special episode with an expert panel to help parents and students navigate the whole experience in the least frazzled way possible. Yes, we’ve made our panel publicly relive their own Leaving Cert trauma for the heck of it. Jen talks about LC survival with guidance counsellor and founder of Find My College Course, Donnchadh O’Mahony, psychologist Malie Coyne and former Leaving Cert student Conor Pope, who is now experiencing the fabled exams as a parent for the first time.
