how is that impacting refunds. >> so far, and i want to say, so far, we're talking about one week of data. so let's be clear that a lot of people were surprised at this first week. now we are expecting around 80% of americans will see lower taxes in 2018 than they did in 2017. the problem is, that many of those people may have already gotten those refunds. how? through their withholding. and when employers adjusted withholding, people may have had more money come to their bottom line. part of that was potentially your tax savings. so if you get a smaller refund, you may have missed the fact that you got a lot of it already. >> the economic hope was that if it'sothith it insad of hing to wait for the refund. if you are confused about what's up with my withholding, what do you do? >> see how much was actually withheld from your check and you get that from your tax documents. when you file, you are going to have a better picture as to what
8:06 am
you need to do going forward. this is incredibly important. if you find that you owe money, you are going to have to adjust your withholding. tell your employer, hold back more money. send it to the government so i don't have to write a check. on the other hand, if you are getting a really fat refund, you may want to adjust the withholding the other way because a refund, i know people think it's forced savings, but just extended an interest free loan to uncle sam for the year and i have a feeling you can use that money better than your uncle can. >> i guy was very irate because last year he got $10,000 back. this year he has to pay $10,000. is that all a matter of withholding? >> i think that's an extreme case. and i don't think we'll see as many stories. you'll hear about them. those are people who come from high tax states. if they were high tax -- if you are in a high tax state like new york, new jersey, connecticut, california, your deductions for your state and local taxes were limited to $10,000. those are the people who are at risk. about 5% of taxpayers will

we all know why we're here. >> i know! i know i missed one. i'm not an idiot, there, happy? >> well, you're being a little -- >> college can be overwhelming as alex from "modern family" learned while studying for the s.a.t.s. for many students that's only part of the problem. in 2017, a study in bmc industry found 31% of girls and young women have symptoms of anxiety compared to 13% of boys and young mon. lisa damour addresses in her new book called "under pressure." confronting the episodes of stress and anxiety.
8:45 am
good morning. >> good morning. >> why it an epidemic? what's caused to make it a big problem? >> well, girls have always been more anxious than boys but we're watching the numbers rise faster in girls than in boys. and there are unique pressures that girls face. they worry more about school. they worry about disappointing adults. they are achieving unbelievable things these days, and yet, they know they are still judged heavily on how they look. >> so, i'm just going to do all of the things i do wrong. so, worrying about disappointing adults. the solution to that is saying, don't worry, we're not disappointed or they don't hear that? >> they don't hear that. they read our faces. we have to be mindful of the messages we send whether we mean to or not. but i think the way we should look at it is those messages were powerful. we can make anxiety and stress much worse for our daughters or
8:46 am
much better. when they are stressed and anxious. sometimes, we get stressed and anxious. what i want parents to remember what they did instinctively what their toddler girl skinned their knee. when a toddler falls down, they look at their knee and then your face. even if they're panicking okay, they're okay. if you're panicking, they're panicking. we stay calm and we say it's okay. we'll figure this out. >> girls are anxious about how they look. i wonder if that starts at a young age when parents say you're so beautiful, look how cute you are. you look adorable. is there too much focus unintentionally on how a girl looks from an early age? >> well, the culture is all about girls' looks even if parents are careful at home, they're up against a consult tour that sends a very powerful
8:47 am
message. of course, your daughter is like, oh, you're so cute and charming. >> even if you're not cute and charming. i look at old pictures of me and i remember, no, i wasn't. >> i'm not saying you can't say that. but what we have to remember is we are focusing on the most superficial aspect of that girl and the one over which she has the least control. when we are talking about girls' looks we're not talking about how creative and clever and interesting they are. and like a zero sum game, we can talk about one, we can talk about the other or a lot. >> communication is so important. i've heard about this in families where your daughter is not necessarily listening to anything you have to say. >> you've heard that. >> yeah. >> well, i think they hear more than we think they do. and what i find is that reassurance tends to work not as well as we think will.
8:48 am
what does work is validation. when girls are having a hard time, my favorite two words are stink and handle. we say that stinks. it does, it stinks. and then say, i think it's in the category of what you can handle and i'm here to help you handle it. >> rather than say it's okay. >> right. >> you also talked about girls' friendships. >> we think it's great to have a whole bunch of friends but when you look at it, numbers bring drama. there's no way to get five human beings of any age who like each other equally. >> you said keep to two one or good friends. >> the least stress for kids that have one or few friends. it doesn't mean you have to fire
8:49 am
anybody from the group. it doesn't mean that anyone is being unusually caddy or difficult. >> and girls need a verbal toolkit. i thought this was fascinating. >> we think a lot about how we instruct girls to speak. be bold, forth right. that's what we need to advise but that's not going to work in every situation. communication is so complex and context driven. i like to think about equipping girls with a verbal toolkit. every girl needs a hammer in certain situations but they should also have tweezers. >> give me one sentence in a verbal toolkit. less than ten seconds. as opposed i'mgverr? i came over eyeedboth.
