announcer: this is abc. kristen: you're watching getting answers live on abc seven. everyday we talk with experts about issues important to the bay area and get answers for you in real-time. today, we have two instructors at the world-famous stanford design school who have written a book featuring an interview and life lessons from aisha curry and others who have of -- refused to live by assigned roles that have placed their own paths. the school board elections coming up, how do san francisco parents really feel? the report card is in and it is not good. our media partner at the san francisco standard will join us

with the results of their poll. first, teens often suffer from anxiety. the latest u.s. guidelines say children as young as eight should now be screened. joining us live is start -- dr. martha kubik, u.s. presented -- preventative services task force. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for bringing attention to this very important condition. kristen: please tell us about the task force. our for the u.s. preventive services task force has been contributing to preventative health care in the u.s. since about 1984. we are an independent panel of volunteers. experts in the area of primary care and evidence-based medicine. and our task is to make recommendations to address and

improve the health of all americans. kristen: this week, you issued guidelines and they are pretty significant. they are different and a lot of people are wondering about that. screening for anxiety in children as young as eight talk to us about the precise guidelines. >> this is a new recommendation statement from the u.s. preventative services tax force. as you know, we did a thorough review of the research evidence and we are recommending that primary care clinicians screen all children, starting at age eight, that presented to the primary care practice without signs and symptoms of anxiety. so, a screening tool is to help us identify young people who are potentially suffering from anxiety so that we can connect

them from the care they need. kristen: how does this differ from old guidelines. >> we have never had a recommendation statement for anxiety before. so, this is a brand-new recommendation. we are also at the same time updating recommendation statements for depression screenings in young people. reviewed the literature. the last time we looked was in 2016. we update our recommendations every four to five years. we continue to recommend screening for depression in young people starting at age 12. we also looked at suicide risks. the screening for suicide risk in young people. that was last looked at in 2014. unfortunately, we do not have the evidence that permits us to make a screening recommendation

for suicide risk in young people. it is inconclusive and what we are calling for is more research in this important area. kristen: why this need? you this is the -- you said this is the first time, is it that you are seeing an increasing prevalence of anxiety in very young children? >> that is a good question. at the task force, we bring in new topics at the recommendation of the public. anyone can make a suggestion for a topic for us to recommend. the recommendation to screen for anxiety in young people was made several years ago, it preceded the pandemic. certainly we know that rates of anxiety in young kids were increasing even before the pandemic. since that time, growing concern about even further increases

kristen: let's talk about the who, where and how. you mentioned primary doctors, it is -- is that like pediatricians at a checkup? is it done at school? >> the task force makes recommendations specifically for primary care clinicians. this is a recommendation for a primary care provider in their practice to start screening for anxiety in their young patients, starting as young as age eight. to your point, that could happen at the time of an annual exam, school physical, sports physical. but also as kids get older, they are not in primary care as often. sometimes they are just showing up for their cold or a rash. we want to urge primary care clinicians to be opportunistic.

if the young person has not been seen at their practice for a while, take the opportunity to consider if that is a good time to do the screening. kristen: i do not know if you are so precise as to tell them how to do the screening or leave it to the doctors, but what are the things you look for? whether it is signs that are manifested or questions asked. i imagine this could be helpful to parents too. >> there are several screening tools that we looked at. anxiety is like an umbrella term. there are different kinds of anxiety. as you can imagine, some tools are very specific to a kind of anxiety or a type of anxiety. whereas others are a bit more global. in their reach. we looked at 10 different research studies that were

available and felt confident walking away from that review recommending screening as a strategy to pick up young children early. but also recognizing that the screening tool needs to fit the circumstance. the age of the child, the presentation into the practice. so we are not recommending one tool over the other. [indiscernible] >> anxiety can be a perfectly normal reaction. a stress response. something happens and we are fearful and we worry. but when we get overly concerned is when symptoms are persistent. and when they are very intense. they then have an effect on the child's behavior. a young person who had been very interactive with their friends and engaged in family life is

suddenly withdrawn and worried about leaving home and worried about when their parents leave home. these are the symptoms we would encourage a parent to be aware of. also realize that if you think your child is having symptoms of anxiety, that is a situation that needs to be evaluated at the time by a primary care clinician. that is not a screening situation. the screening opens the door for us to consider young people who are not overtly presenting symptoms. a parent may not be aware that there is something going on. so, a screening allows us to have that set of questions we can review with a child and a parent to perhaps pick up something early so that we can intervene and facilitate next steps for that child to see if we have something we need to be

worried about. kristen: dr. martha kubik, part of the task force that came up with these guidelines, thank you for your time. >> thank you for talking about this. kristen: coming up next, a pair of teachers at stanford -- school are here to help us tap into our creative hustle. we will explore the new book as we will explore the new book as they share tips to c life is busy. so, come to shell and get three things done at once. first, fill up with shell v-power nitro+ to help keep your engine running like new. nice! then save up with the fuel rewards program and never pay full price for gas again. oh wow! and, finally, snack up to save even more at the pump. that's great! make the most of the stop you need to make with shell. wait! there's three of me? awesome!

kristen: have you ever felt stuck in your life and feel like you are settling, opposed to chasing your dreams no matter the circumstances? you can charge your own course to happiness. that is the subject of a new book written by the co-teachers

of a chorus by the same name at the stanford design school, known as the d school. joining a slip to teach us the hustle, sam seidel and -- thank you for joining us. >> great to be with you again, always. kristen: because our viewers have seen you before and you have been with us, -- that offers free entrepreneurial classes, they are great and they are free and they have multiple sessions per year. sam, welcome. you are in charge of the k-12 lab. for people not familiar is the stanford d school? sam: the d school is a place where everyone in the world can come to have their creative confidence boosted. kristen: part of that is your course.

the two if you teach a popular course called the creative hustle. and now, for free, our audience gets to learn the key lessons in your new book, which you made clear is not a self-help book and not a book about making money doing what you love. what is it? >> this book came out of years that sam and i have had to try to work with students across all humanities and figure out what's best for them. what is my own personal path going to be? as you said, it is not always going to be predetermined. how do you get the confidence to do your own thing? we saw some incredible people do that. we brought them together in this class and took the lessons we learned. we had one big take away, that everybody in the world had these gifts that are unique to yourself. everyone has goals. sometimes we do not tap into them. there are three areas that can

bridge your gifts to your goals. kristen: i think we have a graphic of that. >> we have principals at the top. we found the best creative hustlers have this strong, core sets of who they are. that is unique to whoever we are personally. and then we have people who can help them, motivate them. how do you use those people in your community to help bridge that? and then we have these practices. daily rituals, things you put in place to make sure you're getting closer to your goals. kristen: you give aisha curry as an example. how so? what are the lessons we learn from her? >> we learned a lot from her. -- both the joys and pains of working on this book was we had such a constraint in terms of what we could share. one of the beautiful things we learned was a tattoo she has of

the tree. she talked about that tree as a metaphor. those roots. what are the roots? she gave us the lesson that we shared at the end of that chapter, which is asking our readers, what is the roots of your tree? what is the foundation that guides you? and then there is the trunk. the principles, the core beliefs. and then you get branches. over time, she explained that those can change. there could be one pursuit that is more culinary. another pursuit is entertainment. you have things that branch off but for her, one lesson she shared in the book that we were excited to share with our readers was about defining what are your roots? what is that trunk? kristen: can i ask why you think learning how to be a creative is super important? especially in this day and age? >> we are -- husband.

businesses. we are coming off the tail of this pandemic. our world is shifting so fast. our kids are burdened. we don't really know what work looks like. there's a new front tier -- frontier. the creative hustle to saying, we need people right now, everyone, to find out how we are going to solve these problems in your individual way. we need the confidence to do it. we talked about creative confidence, but what are some easy ways we can make this practical? in the book, there are nine profiled hustlers we can learn from. whether it be reminding yourself on what drives you, or how do i identify what people help you get to the next level. we all need to find our creative hustle. kristen: one to five related to was, do not let productivity kill creativity. what do you mean by that?

>> that one is so important. we put it last in the book because we wanted people to land with this. especially the word hustle in the title can sound like we are encouraging people to move faster and do more. what we have learned time and time again, the title you showed is about -- to be featured, but we have heard this from multiple creative hustlers we respect. it is so important to think about rest. self-care. collective care. the recharge that allows us to focus our energy on addressing things that matter and bringing our full selves to that work. we cannot do it if we are scrambling all the time, it has to include rest and re-centering. today -- took a sabbatical. how do we do that on a weekly basis and a longer timeframe?

kristen: i didn't know that. is somebody still in charge? kids are still taking classes. >> absolutely. the good news is i am back. we were even better with me gone. i hope we continue the momentum. yes. kristen: thousands of kids and adults have taken the courses, which is great. another thing i am curious about is, discover who you are, then show others. you talk about uncovering your own gifts, these days a lot of us don't know who we are or who we want to be. >> you have had -- on your show. we know how powerful and dynamic he is as a creator and storyteller. he really gave us a good journey, a look in to how he does that. he talks about love being the center of everything he does. people think about him as a photographer and storyteller,

but he gives you how he centers himself. he really knows and has that strong awareness of who he is. from there, that's the first chapter. spoiler alert. and then you center yourself on that principle. there's a beautiful exercise at the end of his chapter that talks about having to remind yourself every day about the thing that is most important to you and how you can be grounded. kristen: for viewers who don't know, he took some great photos of steph curry. sam and tunde, thank you very much. creativehussle.org, right? >> that is right. thank you so much. >> thank. kristen: thank you. up next, a new poll on san francisco schools and the results are not good. our media partners will join us to explain their fin

kristen: san franciscans are not satisfied with public schools. that's one take away from a new poll. the standard has published an article after surveying 900 san francisco voters about sf unified, just one month before a midterm election in which several board seats will be decided. joining us with more is the writer of the yard whole. -- writer of the article. why did you guys conduct this

poll? >> we really want to take a look at what san francisco voters were thinking as we approach another election. we came up with a lot of results about schools. kristen: did you interview voters at large? or only those in large -- >> we surveyed voters at large. our commission surveyed over 900 san francisco voters and were able to distinguish with -- kristen: let's take a closer look. overall approval or disapproval of the school district performance. we have a graphic. >> this survey found that 31% somewhat strongly -- somewhat or strongly approve of the school system. that is down from 39% in may. about 69 percent strongly or somewhat disapprove, which is

also down from may. kristen: let's keep this up here as we take a closer look. who seems to be most displeased with the schools? it seems like there's a party political affiliation. >> parents do seem to have a stronger disapproval of the schools, particular -- or, a little less so san francisco unified parents, but that might indicate they are more aware of what is going on. kristen: i see independents do not approve by 80%. republicans, very low. it seems like gen z and folks in lower income brackets like the schools a little better. >> yeah. kristen: interesting. do you know what this is suggesting in terms of why, or what their priorities might be? and whether there -- what are

their implications for the the election? rocco this matches some sentiment in state surveys earlier this year by another statewide entity that found about 42 scent of californians think schools have gotten worse. this comes after the pandemic. education is still trying to recoup staffing, behavior, academics and other obstacles. on top of that, san francisco unified school district board of education just had -- this year. there has been tension and other division that has come from that. school officials have gotten some new leadership at the district staff level and board leadership, who have been trying to say we are laser focused on -- outcomes and trying to remake how they redo operations and board policies and procedures.

but then suggest they have some ways to go considering the approval has slipped more since the recall. kristen: let's take a closer look. back in may, you conducted the same poll. back then, it seems like the favorability -- we have that up now -- was higher. wasn't it? >> it was. just a little bit. kristen: interesting that the recall happened and some changes were made to high school admission policy, yet the on favorability continues to climb. how do you explain that? >> i also found that interesting. it's possible that just as time goes on and these issues are not getting resolved and that the catch-up that the -- not just sf unified, but other districts have a lot of catching up to do. the longer that takes, the harder it is for voters and

parents to see, to have that. kristen: was there much of a gap between favorability of the schools between parents who actually have kids in the district were parents who are just parents but don't have kids in san francisco public schools? >> among sf unified, those who designated themselves as parents had a negative approval rating. that is a little better than parents as a whole. but both of them are worse than san francisco voters as a whole. as i mentioned, it might indicate that they are more clumped into the issues. kristen: has sf unified responded to the findings of the poll? >> they acknowledge it has been a rough couple of years for education and that san francisco is not very different in that case. responding to a couple of particular comments about the water system, for example.

one respondent said they were worried about entering their kids in the water system. the district says well, we are overhauling our student assignment system. they came out with -- which is supposed to help with ease of choice and proximity and is supposed to help diversify schools, which is also related to another comment someone made about how schools need to desegregate. kristen: looks like they have their work cut out. thank you for sharing the results of your poll. you can check out more of the san francisco standards's other reporting on their
