If you’re the parents of a 17-year-old, the chances are that there’s one topic that dominates the family agenda — next steps. You’re probably going through all those serious thoughts that parents think: the right choice, career prospects, and best university. Quietly, you might also be thinking about your baby flying the nest and worrying about whether she/he will cope and how you can keep her/him on the straight and narrow when she/he is thousands of miles away.
