Interesting article on how young people can cope with the upheavals of emigration

Saw this over at The Guardian Abroad. Starts off a bit 'wanky' - but goes on to offer some very good advice. Kind of comes back to my strongly held view that the whole 'kids are adaptable' line that people trot out is a bit like saying 'fish can make ideal jogging partners'.
