telling abc news it is exploring bringing a parent-controlled experience to instagram. >> they want to make this a safer space for kids. they want to give parents more control and they already know that kids are using these tools and so why not make it safer? point two, though, is that it is good for business. the more users they have on these platforms the better. >> reporter: the platform does not currently allow kids younger than 13 to create accounts. earlier this week, instagram introduced new safety features for teenage users including tools to help verify users' age, restricting direct messages between teens and adult accounts they don't follow and encouraging users under 18 to make their accounts private. now the idea of instagram for kids has many asking how young is too young for social media. >> ideally kids wouldn't be using it until they are much older but that is not the reality that we live in right now, to communicate with their friends or extended family or

grandparents, even teachers, kids have to interact on line and on social media to stay connected. >> reporter: the american academy of pediatrics recommends parents create a family media use plan tailored to their child's age and temperament with limits for how much time they can spend on social media and ongoing communication about being safe online. >> you want to set up rules early on. whatever app they're using, make sure there are protective measures to limit who is seeing their account and you know who they're communicating with and what they're sharing at all times. >> reporter: and this new version would fall under a federal law that bars internet services from collecting data from kids age 13 and under. dan. >> reena, thank you very much. her first morning on "gma" and two stories. >> double duty. >> great job. let's get over to rob now who looks like he's in an instagram post come to life in westport, connecticut. rob, good morning once again.

action, the hunt for easter eggs given to him by captain america, but for episode one all the fans are now buzzing why sam doesn't want the shield. my theory is that sam has to be manipulated by corrupt government forces. >> we know that the series looks action packed and seen from the video there. so for those who are not quite as tuned in to the mcu, marvel cinematic universe, how can we get caught up to speed. >> okay, i'm going to give you a bit of homework to catch up. just three movies, 2011's "captain america to 2016's "captain america: civil war," to 2019's "avengers: endgame." it reintroduced bucky barnes as a deadly assassin who's just trying to discover his humanity, "civil war" was a huge avengers crossover event that had a returning villain in the miniseries and really coupled sam and bucky together as this

and the power of 20. that idea that a little space can lead to big victories, so pick one spot in your house and take just 20 minutes and see what you can get done. >> so one spot that you recommend we start with is the junk drawer, although it looks like this junk drawer might take more than 20. >> i love this one because everybody has one of these. and in those 20 minutes, challenge yourself to clear the space and see if you can declutter 20 items things like receipts, take-out menus, your kids have left some toys in there if you're anything like my family. once you got a clean slate it is a lot easier to work with. >> how do you organize what's left? >> so i love going to the dollar store and getting these inexpensive interlocking containers. they're so easy to work with. my secret tip to keeping it

organized is 20% free space. >> and so let's talk about closets. what's your advice for closets? >> so start in your closet with what you want to keep. experts say we only wear 20% of our wardrobe anyway so that way you can declutter just those 20 items and keep it super manageable. and if you're like me and you struggle with indecision, ask yourself, can i replace this item for $20 and in 20 minutes or less? if you can, that might be a sign to let it go. >> final question, what do we do to create more space around the house? >> okay, so having uniform hangers in your closet is so helpful. and if you've got long dresses and you're really struggling for more room in your closets, take two hangers just like this and slide the hanger up the bottom and you have free space at the bottom of your closet. don't discount the dollar store, i really love these organizers to help double or triple your

space, especially if you have a small wardrobe. >> this is great, great stuff. professor, thank you very much for leading us on this crash course. really appreciate it. happy spring to you and your family. speaking of spring, let's get outside now with robert marciano who's in westport, connecticut, with a look at the forecast. hey, rob. >> good morning again. as your son duly noted the beginning of spring earlier this morning, 5:37 a.m. eastern time. so we're in it. tomorrow will be the first full day of astronomical spring. for many spots in the east, it's going to feel like that after some chilly mornings. so let's go over that and talk about the rebound and what we can expect not just for the next couple of days, but through june, above average temperatures it looks like from the climate prediction center with the exception of the pacific northwest so that is something to look forward to. that will get the flowers a-popping for sure.
