Yes, time for damage control, I think? We need to find some way of reminding the kids this place isn't all about disasters and near-death experiences. And the trust issue is still popping up - we really need to develop some sort of policy on information disclosure so the kids don't feel we're bullshitting them, but so we don't scare the crap out of them either. I know some of our colleagues would disagree with me on the need to disclose any information, but as the kids - and not just the troublemakers, smart kids, like Kitty - point out, we can't expect them to trust us if we clearly don't grant them at least a small degree of the same respect.
