I'm teaching a workshop for high school students next month, and I've always worked with adults. I have a few questions about things that are different when working with minors, both from a maturity level and legality standpoint. I want to treat them like adults to the greatest extent possible, but also avoid being inappropriate. I feel like common sense will guide me pretty well, but if anyone has experience working with kids I would appreciate a heads up on the gotchas.

1. Generally when teaching a workshop I give out email and facebook contact info in case anyone has follow up questions or thoughts after the workshop. This feels like it's probably inappropriate, or at least risky when working with minors. Thoughts?

2. Are there different rules I should use regarding physical contact in scenes, content, etc.?

3. Anything I haven't thought about?

Thanks,
