>> gio: all right. back with our "gma" cover story. alyssa milano responding to criticism. the actress was under fire after posting a fund-raiser for her son's baseball team on social media. jaclyn lee has the details. good morning, to you, jaclyn. >> reporter: gio, good morning to you. many parents have kids who play sports, and many of those kids are trying to raise money for those pricey sports trips. alyssa milano says she is no different but is facing scrutiny. this morning, actress alyssa
8:11 am
milano speaking out after coming under fire for requesting donations for her son's baseball team. the actress initially took to gofundme sharing the link on x stating her son's baseball team is raising money for their cooperstown trip, saying on gofundme we hope you will make a donation to keep our team competitive. your donation will go to travel costs, uniforms and dues for families. the criticism was swift with some saying she should fund the trip herself. milano hitting back writing on instagram, every parent raises money for their child's sports teams. i am no different. as much as i'd love to pay for the entire team and their families, i cannot afford to do so. maybe someday. >> fund-raising is an important tool parents have. it enables families who may be can't afford to pay for the uniforms or travel costs to still participate. that's really important. >> reporter: on average each year families spend $731 per child on after-school activities. in total it's estimated that u.s. families spend 30 to $40
8:12 am
billion per year on youth sports. with the average estimate for youth soccer coming in at about $1,100 per child, basketball around $1,000, baseball more than $700, and tackle football more than $500. >> it's not just about the time commitment. it's also a financial commitment, and that's a big problem for families these days. >> reporter: the money is for the entire team. critics were going so far as to write on her son's instagram page, calling milano selfish. with her son writing back you do realize i'm only 12 and i love my mom? on the bright side the gofundme raised more than $13,000 exceeding its $10,000 goal. gio? >> gio: come on, guys. don't go after the kid. jaclyn, thank you so much. whit. >> whit: gio, thanks. now to a topic getting a lot of attention this week, our kids and safety on line. dr. michael rich wrote "the mediatrician's guide."
8:13 am
dr. rich is joining us right now. good morning to you. great to have you. we were just talking. i'm like right in the zone with my kids. social media obviously getting so much attention right now. we saw the ceos getting grilled on capitol hill. we see states like florida talking about putting limitations on it. you say calling social media a toxin or toxic is not necessarily the best approach. why is that? >> first of all, because it's not true. kids will see through that in a second, and you lose them when they don't interact with you. they don't hear you. it is not a toxin, but we can get toxic on it. it's our behavior with social media and online, in a variety of forms, that gets us in trouble. so i think pointing at something else saying that's the problem is a copout for us, right? that did it to me rather than it's what i did with it. >> whit: interesting. another thing that we've been reporting on a lot here talking about skincare routines with
8:14 am
tweens. and i have an 11-year-old in middle school right now, and i can attest to the fact kids are talking about this. going to sleepovers and trying to do facial masks and things like that. i'm like, you're 11 years old. where did this come from? what advice do you have for parents? >> first of all, to use the time that they're online as a teaching moment for them, and question it. teach them to question what they're seeing, what they're hearing, what they're believing. and people ask me, when should you start media literacy with a kid? when they start using media. so, even with your toddlers that you're sharing an ipad with, talk about it. help them understand what it is and what it is not, and keep a dialogue going because now kids live in the digital environment more time than they live in the physical environment, and we've got to parent them there. >> speaking of that time, what about screen time? there's a whole conversation. is it a good thing, bad thing, does it even work?
8:15 am
what's your advice? >> i think the idea of screen time limits is obsolete. we live in a world where we move seamlessly between screen space and physical space, and particularly kids do. so, if we can't even measure screen time -- i studied this stuff and couldn't tell you how much screen time i had yesterday because of the way we use it now. so, what we're really focusing on is nonscreen time. have a minimal nonscreen time where you are at the dinner table actually talking to each other. getting enough sleep. doing your homework. >> whit: exercise, playing outside. >> absolutely, absolutely. and so, i think we have to change the paradigm because parents feel horribly guilty about exceeding screen time limits that don't work anyway. >> whit: i love that idea. flipping it to the nonscreen time. okay, i want to ask you about this directly, you offer a three "m" approach. this is about media, model,
8:16 am
mentor and monitor. >> model, the first "m" is be the change you want to see in your kids. don't be staring at your smartphone, at that all important email while you're saying turn off call of duty. to them that's the height of hypocrisy. they hear 1% of what we say and 100% of what we do. be the change you want to see. mentor is sitting down with them when they need a device or application or platform and when they can handle it responsibly and with respect for themselves and others. and learn with them, because they will know the technical stuff way better, but you can bring in the executive functions of impulse control, future thinking, et cetera. finally, monitor, this is the one that parents and kids push back on the most because parents say, i don't have the time to follow my kid. >> whit: right, exactly. >> and the kid is saying, i want my privacy. but the reality is to a 13-year-old privacy means so mom
8:17 am
and dad can't see. they're not thinking about the rest of the world out there. and so i think it's really important not to monitor them all the time but to be able to monitor them. their behavior will change. >> whit: we'll have to leave it there. we are out of time. i could talk about it all day. thanks for coming in. incredibly helpful and pleasure to have you on. >> make sure you take one home. >> whit: i will. thank you. "the mediatrician's guide" is available on tuesday. erielle, over to you. >> erielle: great perspective. we appreciate it. now to black history month. our friend robin roberts and her company rockin' robin produced a fascinating documentary about a group of unsung heroes, black soldiers who became known as the harlem hellfighters serving courageously in world war i, spending more time in combat than any other american unit. here's a moment from the documentary about one leader who encouraged black men to join the fight. >> reporter: among those making the case for black men to enlist is one of the most prominent african american leaders in the
8:18 am
country, w.e.b. du boise. >> w.e.b. du boise is arguably the greatest black intellectual and scholar activist in american history. and he always revered the black military tradition. >> the military is such an important element in the black freedom struggle in america. even in the revolutionary war and then, of course, the civil war. as we approached world war i, this offers an opportunity for blacks to demonstrate their bravery, their heroism on a global stage. >> erielle: and you can see "the harlem hellfighters" history channel. and now to somara, i know you're talking about that california weather. >> somara: it's not ending. this is from the previous storm last week in santa clara county.
8:19 am
look at these downed trees on the cars. they've got cleanup going while preparing for this next storm moving in, so one of the big factors is also going to be the wind. these coming down. 71-mile-per-hour winds in big sur and the waves, we could see wave heights from 15 to 20 feet. we have a high surf advisory in effect for parts of southern california. that's a look at the weather across the country. mainly in the west coast. let's see what's going on a little closer to home. let's see what's going on a little closer to home. >> gio: all right. it's time for "deals & steals." tory johnson is here with the products to treat yourself and we were all already getting into it.
