7:03 am
i don't know, i'll enjoy my complimentary diet pepsi now. >> this eye opener was brought to you by toyota. let's go places. >> you could see that happening. >> yes, we could. >> trevor noah. you could see it. >> i love that video. >> i do, too. welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin with this in dallas. the wife of a former dallas police officer accused of murdering her black neighbor in his own home could spend the rest of her life in prison. the jury deliberated for less than five hours before finding amber guyger guilty of murder yesterday for shooting and killing botham jean last year. >> the case is now in the sentencing phase, and jurors are hearing more evidence, including racially insensitive text messages geiger shared. omar villafranca is at the courthouse in dallas. omar, how will those text messages factor in sentencing, do we think? >> reporter: prosecutors are showing the jury text messages and social media posts to give them a sense of who geiger is. that evidence will be taken into consideration for their sentencing. and after yesterday's hearing, there is a lot for them to take
7:04 am
in. keep in mind, she could face five to 99 years in prison. >> my life has not been the same. it's just been like a roller coaster. >> reporter: botham jean's mother, allison, testified at a sentencing hearing tuesday about how her life has changed since amber guyger shot and killeder son. >> it's just been the most terrible time for me. >> reporter: the jury convicted the former police officer of murder after deliberating for less than seven hours. >> we, the jury, unanimously find the defendant, amber guyger, guilty of murder as charged in the indictment. >> reporter: cheers erupted in the courtroom as the verdict was announced. jean's family embraced. geiger sat crying at the defense table. jean's family attorneys say this outcome is justice for other unarmed, black victims. >> and this verdict is for trayvon martin. it's for michael brown. it's for sandra bland. it's for tamir rice.

7:06 am
crime. keep in mind, this case is a little bit different since guyger was off duty. deliberations are scheduled to start at 9:30 this morning, and we have no idea how long they'll last. >> omar, thank you. now to the impeachment inquiry in washington, where house democrats are trading angry charges with secretary of state mike pompeo. democrats say the secretary could be involved in a, quote, blatant cover-up and a clear abuse of power, after pompeo accused them of trying to intimidate state department officials into testifying. sources tell cbs news a former state department official and a former ambassador have agreed to testify. a short time ago, pompeo confirmed he listened in on president trump's july 25th phone call to ukraine's president that triggered the impeachment probe. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, what else did the secretary have to say? >> reporter: good morning. secretary pompeo said the call was focused on rooting out corruption and graft in ukraine, but we know that that's not what the call summary released by the white house shows.
7:07 am
this comes amidst a huge and escalating clash between congress and secretary pompeo over evidence and witnesses. >> it was about helping the ukrainians to get graft out and corruption outside of their government. >> reporter: secretary pompeo broke his silence about his role in a call between ukraine's president and president trump, and he accused democrats of pressuring state department officials to testify right away. >> we will, of course, do our constitutional duty to cooperate with this co-equal branch, but we are going to do so in a way that is consistent with the fundamental values of the american system. >> reporter: overnight, democrats railed against secretary of state mike pompeo after he said top officials needed more time to prepare for congressional interviews. >> it's essentially saying, don't snitch, and that's just not how we do things in our government. >> reporter: in a blistering letter, pompeo accused democratic leaders of trying to
7:08 am
bully state department officials into sitting for depositions. house democrats fired back that pompeo may now be a fact witness in the impeachment inquiry and that any attempt to prevent witnesses from testifying might indicate that he is trying to cover up illicit activity. >> the state department's people could cooperate. they could come in immediately. >> reporter: state department inspector general steve linick emailed multiple congressional committees, saying he wants to discuss and provide staff with copies of documents related to the state department and ukraine. the briefing comes just two days after cbs news and other outlets confirmed that pompeo was on the call where president trump asked the president of ukraine to investigate his campaign rival, joe biden, and his son. the president's allies slammed the congressional probe as a coup and a trap. >> they're putting them through really an impeachment mockery.
7:09 am
>> reporter: we may not know exactly what the state ig is planning to share with congress today, but we do know that its job is to root out mismanagement and wrongdoing at the department, so that should provide a clue. steve linick has been the inspector general at the state department since 2013. he has a lot of autonomy and does not need the secretary's permission to come here to congress to brief staffers. >> all right, nancy, thank you very much. a new book is shedding light on president trump's battle to push ahead with one of his signature policies -- securing the u.s./mexico border. according to the book, mr. trump suggested shooting migrants in the legs. he reportedly made the suggestion in march during a meeting where he also called for the entire border to be closed. two "the new york times" reporters wrote the book, which is published by simon and schuster, a division of cbs. paula reid's at the white house. paula, why did the president allegedly make these comments?
7:10 am
>> reporter: good morning. earlier this year, as border crossing numbers hit record numbers, the "times" reports the president grew increasingly frustrated with the situation along the southern border and intent on delivering on his campaign promise to build a wall and deter illegal immigration. he started throwing out some new ideas. >> we're closing the border. close it. and we'll keep it closed for a long time. i'm not playing games. >> reporter: in late march, president trump publicly threatened to close the u.s./mexico border. but according to the "times" reporters, in a march meeting, the president's advisers tried to turn him away from such a drastic move. he responded "you're making me look like an idiot" and shouted, "i ran on this! it's my issue." >> administration officials were constantly having to kind of walk the president back from the precipice, walk him back from the edge of what could be a crisis. >> reporter: michael shear and julie hirschfeld davis are authors of "border wars: inside
7:11 am
trump's assault on immigration." >> he made all these promises, he talked in grandiose ways about things he wanted to do when he was in office, but then he comes in and confronts the reality of governing. >> reporter: the article also details the president's other suggestions to stem migration. >> they want to throw rocks at our military, our military fights back. we're going to consider it -- and i told them, consider it a rifle. >> reporter: and while he said he didn't mean to shoot migrants if they threw rocks at border patrol agents, "the new york times" reports that the president later suggested they shoot migrants in the legs to slow them down. they write, he also privately talked about fortifying a border wall with a water-filled trench stocked with snakes or alligators, and he wanted the p e humactrifin flesh. the white house has responded to this report in a statement. it did not directly address the allegations but said the president has clearly and publicly stated many times he wants to make american
7:12 am
communities safer by building a wall, closing dangerous loopholes that incentivize child smugglers and drug cartels and implement a merit-based immigration system. >> all right, paula. thank you. this morning, the state department is calling on north korea to, quote, refrain from provocations. north korea fired another ballistic missile yesterday, just hours after agreeing to resume stalled nuclear talks with the u.s. south korean officials confirm the missile was launched from the coast of wonsan, east of the north korean capital of pyongyang. it flew for about 280 miles and reportedly landed in the sea of japan. rami inocencio is following this story from hong kong. ramy, how could this affect the nuclear talks? >> reporter: good morning, gayle. experts say this really is north korea's way of ramping up pressure against the united states ahead of those talks this saturday. they say this is also a calculated show of strength by the rogue nation as it attempts to project its growing military
7:13 am
might. now, u.s. officials tell cbs news that this was a land-based test of a midrange ballistic missile that can be launched from a submarine. this is a significant escalation, of course, from the short-range missiles north korea has tested so far this year, and authorities are especially concerned about this type of weapon because it is much harder to detect in advance. now, this is the ninth time north korea has tested weapons ever since late july. nuclear talks between the u.s. and north korea have so far stalled since the vietnam summit between president trump and north korean leader kim jong-un in february failed to produce a deal. now, the white house says it is monitoring the situation closely and is also discussing with u.s. allies in the region but looking ahead to saturday, not sure yet on how it will impact those negotiations. tony. >> ramy inocencio in hong kong, thank you so much. a heat wave is affecting millions of americans from the deep south to the northeast. it's been a warm end of summer with more than 150 cities across the u.s. having their hottest
7:14 am
september on record. remarkably hot. and girl deli e this is a big heat wave. it's a long-lasting heat wave and this is what we expect du record high for the month of october at 96. not to be outdone, richmond 98 degrees. 73 new records possible in 19 states during the day today. there's some good news tomorrow. look at new york city. we go from 90 today to 59 tomorrow, so literally from shorts to sweaters in less than 24 hours. still hot, though, in richmond and still baking across the southeast. birmingham, 99 degrees tomorrow. september was an unbelievably warm month, and we saw remarkable heat, especially across the east. take a look at this, 21% of the united states had their warmest september on record, and 59% of the nation were in their top five warmest. this is fairly incredible. and because of that, we have
7:15 am
severe drought in parts of the southeast. it's drying out the soils. there is some good news. we're going to get some rain, but it's going to take until monday or tuesday for that rain to move in. in the meantime, air conditioners working overtime across most of the nation. >> all right, jeff, thank you. there is a new twist in the case of a connecticut man charged with killing a worker at a caribbean resort. a revised autopsy raises questions about whether cocaine detected in kenny mitchell's system played a role in his death after a fight with scott hapgood. errol is following this. >> we are working to confirm details, but according to the "the new york times," this revised coroner's report may change the cause of mitchell's death. citing that report, "the new york times" writes that acute cocaine toxicity could have been a potentially independent cause of death. now, it reportedly shows mitchell's levels of more than double what's normally considered deadly. >> wow.
7:16 am
>> although everyone reacts differently. cbs news has reached out to the coroner's office for a copy of this report, but we have not yet heard back. if you remember, scott hapgood said he was acting in self-defense when he got into a fight with mitchell, pinning him to the ground in his hotel bathroom. he claims mitchell was demanding money and threatening him with a knife. now, we spoke with a hotel bellman back in august who was the first in the room when this altercation was taking place, and he said hapgood was on top of mitchell and that mitchell could barely breathe. he also told me that hapgood refused to get off of mitchell until police arrived 30 minutes later. now, it's unclear how this new report could affect the case and manslaughter charges still pending against hapgood. back in september there was a five-day evidentiary hearing, but the results of that have not yet been made public. this case now adjourned until mid-november. >> that does certainly add another twist to the case, for sure. >> it does. >> so many questions. and for the victim and his family, they say he was gentle.
7:17 am
we would never expect for this to happen, but we need to wait for the results of this case to see what the evidence is. >> fascinating new details. errol, thank you very much. health officials in new jersey and virginia have announced the first deaths in those states related to vaping. latest cases bring the total number of confirmed deaths nationwide to at least 15. and according to the cdc, there are now more than 800 confirmed and probable cases of severe lung illness linked to vaping nationwide. a ban on flavored e-cigarettes took effect overnight in michigan, and texas a&m university has now banned all vaping products as well. president trump, of course, has proposed a federal ban on most flavored e-cigarettes and vaping products. we're waiting for more information on that. a federal judge has temporarily blocked georgia's controversial abortion law from going into effect in january. the legislation outlaws the procedure as early as six weeks into pregnancy or when a fetal heartbeat can be detected. the current state law bans abortions at 20 weeks. georgia is one of at least nine states that passed laws to
7:18 am
restrict abortions earlier this year. a federal judge cleared harvard university of discriminating against asian americans in a case with major implications for affirmative action in college admissions across the country. a group opposed to affirmative action accused harvard of deliberately and illegally restricting the number of asian americans on campus. the judge rejected that argument. she said harvard meets the strict constitutional standard for considering race in admissions. she ruled that while its process is not perfect, she found no evidence of any racial animus. an appeal is expected, and it could eventually go to the supreme court. the duchess of sussex is suing a british tabloid with the full support of prince harry. ahead, why harry is comparing press coverage of meghan to what his mother, princess diana, had to endure. but first, good wednesday morning to you. another chilly start to the

successful trip for the couple here in africa. >> reporter: in a stinging reproach to the media, prince harry said that they are suing the tabloid "mail on sunday" for publishing private correspondence from the duchess of sussex. there is a human cost to this relentless propaganda. i cannot begin to describe how painful it has been. earlier this year, the tabloid newspaper published an article about a handwritten letter that meghan had sent to her estranged father, thomas markle. harry has accused the paper of editing the letter selectively in an intentionally misleading and destructive way. indicating the anger and turmoil he suffered when his mother, princess diana, died in a car crash after being pursued by the paparazzi, harry stated, my deepest fear is history repeating itself. i've seen what happens when someone i love is commoditized to the point that they are no longer treated or seen as a real person. i lost my mother, and now i

8:01 am
corruption in ukraine, but that's not what the call summary shows. >> the times reports the president grew increasingly frustrated with the situation along the southern border and started throwing out some new ideas. experts say this is north korea's way of ramping up pressure ahead of those talks this saturday. big heat wave. d.c. could challenge an all-time record high for the month of october. "the new york times" writes, quote acute cocaine toxicity could have been an independent cause of death. if you remember scott said he was acting in self-defense. the impeachment inquiry is expanding with house democrats firing off subpoenas to trump's personal lawyer rudy giuliani and trump's secretary of state mike pompeo. basically the way to look at it is like this. the democrats are oprah and the subpoenas are free cards. you get a subpoena, you get a subpoena, you get a subpoena.
8:02 am
>> this is presented by toyota, let's go places. welcome back to "cbs this morning". we're going to get right to breaking news from campaign 2020 where bernie sanders has put his presidential campaign on hold after a heart procedure. the sanders complain released a statement saying the vermont senator felt chest discomfort at an event last night. according to his senior adviser, quote, following medical evaluation and testing, he was found to have a blockage in one artery and two stents were successfully inserted. senator sanders is conversing and in good spirits. he will be resting up over the next few days. this is just a pause they say. sanders had scheduled a series of campaign stops in las vegas today. those have been canceled for the time being. secretary of state mike pompeo is firing back at democrats who say he may be -- may have been involved in a coverup and an abuse of power in connection with the impeachment inquiry into the president. speaking in italy this morning,
8:03 am
pompeo said the state department will not be bullied are intimidated by democrats. he also admitted he was on the july phone call between president trump and the ukrainian president. pompeo defended it saying the call was all about getting corruption out of ukraine and battling the threat russia poses. >> as for was i on the phone call, i was on the phone call. the phone call was in the context of now i've been secretary of state for coming on a year and a half. i know precisely what the american policy is with respect to ukraine. >> nancy cordes is on capitol hill. what else did the secretary say? >> lawyewell, he said the presi is focused on getting corruption and graft out of ukraine, but frankly the transcript of the president's phone call with the president of ukraine from july just does not back that up. it shows that president trump asked president zelenskiy to

look into a debunked theory about a dnc server in ukraine and to investigate vice president biden's son hunter biden who has not been accused of corruption or anything else in ukraine. state department inspector the- general is headed to capitol hill today to talk to house staffers about ukraine and apparently it's urgent. what can we expect from that meeting? >> all that staffers have been told is they are going to be shown documents related to the state department and ukraine. so as you can imagine, everyone is quite curious. what we can say is that the state department inspector general's job is to root out mismanagement and wrongdoing at the state department, so the likelihood that he's coming here to say that he's found documents showing that everything is just great, that's probably pretty slim. and that has led a lot of staffers who have been invited from multiple congressional committees to want to know exactly what he has and whether they will be able to take

>> reporter: according to the innocence project, in about a quarter of wrongful convictions later overturned with dna evidence, defendants made false confessions, admissions, or statements to law enforcement. admissions, or statements to law enforcement. among the reasons people falsely confess -- real or perceived intimidation by law enforcement, exhaustion, stress, and in some cases mental limitations or limited education. >> when best friendson -- brendan dassey was in special education, he was in tenth grade, he required an aide to sit next to him in the classroom to help him understand the teacher's spoken sentences. shen thirst him into the interrogation -- then shift him into the interrogation where he was barraged with 1,500 questions over 3.5 hours. you don't have to be a lawyer to understand how an interrogation like that would overwhelm someone like brendan dassey. >> reporter: what gives you hope that this governor will grant clemency? >> governor evers comes to this office from the wisconsin board

8:31 am
the officials told the "times" that they did a big cost benefit analysis, and that the economic burden on small businesses, particularly vape shops, appeared to outweigh the potential health benefits of a flavor ban. and the context here is important. between 2011 and 2014, vaping in middle and high school students increased nearly 800%. this is before juul was even on the market. didn't come until 2015. way before the crisis there was an attempt to ban it. it broke down over business concerns. what's interesting now is the trump administration is saying their fda may ban flavors, and others are pointing out that could have major political implications because there are a lot of small vape shops out there. they do vote. there's also people who use vaping products, could swing some swing states. yeah. and the fda says they didn't want to comment on it. an official quoted in the story who we spoke to said the premise is wrong, and it was a collaborative process. they didn't fold because of

know. and i act the aloof as one has to do to play the games. i knew really early. yeah. >> all right, katy tur. how about you? >> seven months from the time you meet until you pop the question? is what that -- >> that you know. >> the question came a lot later than that. >> one guy told plea it took him 40 -- told me it took him 40 years. what did it take for you? >> i'm going to say i knew pretty quickly, too. we met at a dinner, and i was like -- i was totally smitten. right away. >> but then the question popping really is the question. that -- they're long duration -- >> the question took a lot longer. >> finding a ring, too. >> something to think about, women out there, if you're dating someone wondering, hey, i'm ready. seven months. all right. anthony? here's mine, a photo of a little girl visiting harvard turned out to be a glimpse into the future. crystal wang was only 3 years old when she posed with harvard university police officer charles marin during a campus visit with her dad. wang has returned to harvard.
8:34 am
she got in as a member of harvard's class of 2023, in a dual degree program with berkeley college of music. the two met again last week during a move-in to pose for a new photo. obviously crystal looks a lot different. the amazing thing is, officer marin looks just about the same. >> the same motorcycle there. >> they found each other -- crystal didn't even know the original picture had been taken until she got into harvard and her dad showed it to her. they found the officer. as you see, the officer still working for the harvard university police department. he's a former marine. he still looks it. >> can you go back to officer marin's picture -- control room? i'm thinking officer marin is still working out. look at those arms. >> no wrinkles. maybe the case of botox -- >> he told crystal, anything he can to help -- >> bonds bonded -- bonded for life. in "morning rounds," more than 16 million minimally cosmetic procedures took place
8:35 am
last year in this country. that includes nearly 7.5 million botox and other neurotoxin injections to reduce wrinkles. nobody likes wrinkles. more than 2.5 million filler injections to shape the face. these enhancements traditionally require a visit to a doctor's office. dr. tara narula shows how new salons are offering injections in a measure casual setting, but there are risks we think you should know about. what are the drawbacks of the salons? >> these spas called the dry bars of botox focus on anti-aging injectables. they're designed to be more convenient and less clinical than a doctor's office. while it's legal for nonphysicians like nurses to administer these products, professionals say these procedures carry risk that's are more serious -- risks that are more serious than a bad hair blowout. kaitlyn doyle is ready for her closeup. >> right center, center on the left -- >> reporter: at her regular botox injection at alchemy 43 -- >> this is your before, there is your after. >> reporter: the nationwide chain offers only
8:36 am
microtreatments, not surgical procedures like botox and fillers in a casual setting similar to a hair or nail salon. >> i'm going to be doing a little bit of botox around the crow's feet. >> i don't think that we should feel like we're in a clinical, cold environment. it's self-care, and it should almost be something enjoyable and fun. >> reporter: while social media inspires many to seek out cosmetic procedures, it's also filled with customer reviews of various companies showing the damage that can be done. >> fortunately the vast majority of the time in any setting, these are safe, and they're done properly. but the public needs to realize that this is medical care, and things can happen with medical care. >> the president of the american society of plastic surgeons -- >> within intersections, you can lose skin. you can get gangrene. you can get blindness that require in a moment treat. >> reporter: by law, injectables must be ordered by doctors. many states require facilities
8:37 am
to have medical directors. but those doctors aren't necessarily plastic surgeons or dermatologists, and they aren't always on site. >> i just wanted a little -- little lift, little tweaking. >> reporter: it's a risk that sheri, who asked us not to use her last name, didn't know about when she got botox and filler last year. sheri has never been to alchemy 43 or any other storefront botox bar. she got her botox and filler at a private nurse's office. within minutes she knew something was wrong. >> i'm looking in the mirror, and i think i'm turning purple. >> reporter: the filler had been injected into a blood vessel. sheri says the clinic's medical director was 40 minutes away and giving instructions to the nurse practitioner on the phone. >> she's taking pictures and texting them to him. >> reporter: hours later, the doctor arrived with the medicine that could unblock blood flow to the area around her nose. >> the only thing i remember him saying is, you're lucky you didn't lose your nose. which was quite alarming.
8:38 am
>> reporter: even after oxygen therapy, sheri was left with damaged blood vessels, skin discoloration, and severe headaches. >> every morning i look at myself and see it. it's also a constant reminders of what i went through. >> it's not getting any blood supply or having trouble pro-fusing. >> reporter: the doctor treated sheri after her filler complication. >> injecting in the face could be dangerous because if you get into any of the blood vessels, it can end in the eye it can end in the forehead, it can end in the nose. >> reporter: while even the most experienced doctor can hit a blood vessel, dr. kasir says it's critical to have filler-dissolving medicine at arm's reach. >> we preload it into these syringes. i don't even have to stop and draw it out. >> reporter: you are getting a needle in your face. there is some risk attached to that. and we certainly don't take that light low -- >> reporter: alchemy 43's founder says her staff is prepared for emergencies. >> we've been diligent about training on that. we keep all the materials here that are needed in case we did need to address something
8:39 am
immediately. >> reporter: >> do you have any questions, give us a call in between. >> reporter: you had your procedure done, how do you feel? >> i feel fantastic. i cannot wait for the next week to see the full results. but it was quick. it was painless. goes to show beauty isn't always pain. >> reporter: procedures at these retail outlets typically cost several hundred dollars apiece. they can be slightly less expensive than a doctor's office. some even offer discounts for frequent visits. >> well, we see the pros and the cons. sheri's story, i have to say, freaked me out a little bit. what questions should people ask before they go to a facility like that? >> yeah. there's several things to look at. first of all, who's doing your injectables. what's their training? did they get trained in a weekend course? how many did they do? >> how do you know that? we should ask what's the training? >> you have to ask. there's no real certifying bodies that does this for nurses or nurse practitioners or s. vt terms of oversight which is the second question. who is looking over what you're doing? is there a medical director?
8:40 am
how far away are they? are they an anesthesiologist or an ob-gyn or sometimes it's just an m.d. do they have the filler dissolving medicine at arm's reach? who's going to answer the phone after hours? if you have a problem that night or the next day after, what's going to happen if you can't reach somebody? these are importance to ask. >> as -- important to ask. >> as the man said, things can happen with medical care. >> that's why it's good to ask the doctor, can i have your cell number? see how that goes over. >> thank you. a study says the youngest kids in class have the greatest chance of being diagnosed with emotional and behavioral issues. psychologist lisa demother nature is in our toyota green o
8:44 am
in "school matters," new research shows a child's age compared to their classmates could impact their mental and behavior held. a study in jama pediatrics looked at data from more than a million kids age 14 to 15. researchers in britain found the youngest children in the class have a roughly 30% higher chance of developing depression compared to their oldest peers in the same class. apart from depression, they also have an increased chance of being diagnosed with adhd and learning disabilities. psychologist and cbs news contributor lisa damour is here. good morning. >> good morning. >> as you said, everyone has an
8:45 am
opinion about there because we all fall somewhere on the calendar. >> yes. >> why might younger students be more likely to have symptoms of depression and adhd? >> so what we have to remember is development unfolds on its own time. you can't force development forward. so that means that if a child is relatively immature in the class, maybe because of age, they will not necessarily have the skills for attention that the older kids will have. they may be more likely to show up with questions about whether or not theyadhd. >> the thielke thing is this -- tricky thing is this may develop in the sixth, century seventh, grade but the decision is made in kindergarten. >> it tricky. if we push kids ahead or they're very young in class, they can feel a step behind intellectually and also socially. you know, social cueing among kids have pretty subtle. so for kids who are young, there can be an awareness that they're missing out or don't really understand the social landscape. but they don't know what they're missing or don't know how to fit
8:46 am
in. and it can be really hard on their self-esteem. we think that can open the door to questions about sadness, depression. >> parents have to -- if they have to make the decision should i hold you back or not, what factors go into making a decision like that? >> there's a lot -- >> the option -- >> there's a lot we can to get this right. first of all, we have to remember development is multifaceted. there is absolutely development, social development, there's emotional development, there's physical development. you don't want one of those driving the decision. so someone might say, my 4-year-old reads, put him ahead. if the 4-year-old can't share, we should reconsider. similarly, you can have a kid who's terrifically skilled socially but lacking academically. look at the whole picture. the other thing i will say is, ask the teachers. if you're child's a preschooler, you have preschool teachers who have watched your child all year. you know your preschooler, they are comparing your children to hundreds of preschoolers. we also cannot be neutral about our own children. >> right. >> it's not a possibility. >> you can't --
8:47 am
>> we cannot -- >> mine on objectively cute. >> exactly. teachers have seen your child in the classroom setting. so if you're unsure, i would say to a teacher, you know my kid, if she were your kid, what would you do in these situations? and take that very seriously. teachers are experts in child development. >> i think there's a natural reluctance as a parent to acknowledge your child may need to be held back. but the consequences down the road if you don't do it when you -- when you find out you have to make them skype -- hold back a grade can be serious. >> it can. when parents and i are thinking about this, i always say err on the side of caution. give your child another year of childhood. if you're wrong, we can offer enrichment later. if they're bored in school, we can offer enrichment later. if you push a child ahead and it's the bad call, you're looking at the possibility of your child playing catchup for the rest of education or, worse, having to repeat a grade. >> right. which is humiliating for a kid. >> it is. >> then you're labeled the rest of the time at the school. >> can be devastating for kids. i want to avoid that at all
8:48 am
costs. >> is there a -- a connection between physical development and emotional and behavioral development in kids? and is there a difference between girls and boys? >> there is interesting. so obviously older kids are more likely to be ahead physically in their development which means better coordination. and especially for boys, it can down the line have to do with size and strength. for boys who are big and strong in hay class, there's often a lot of social currency caught up with that. especially if they're good athletes. >> yep. >> so sometimes nobody really notices the distinction and then puberty hits. and all of a sudden the kids on the front edge of that have a lot more social currency, boys in particular, and so it can be a very weighty decision at age 5 when we think about the implications down the line. >> yeah. physical and emotional development definitely are in tandem. like with -- with 12-year-olds, it can be like an airport is taking off but they've never had traffic control. >> very good analogy.

a 9-year-old boy accidentally won a 10k race after making a wrong turn. he meant to run a 5k month, but he says he somehow ended up on the 10k route by mistake. >> at the end, when i turned around there was a 10k sign. i said this is not a 5k. once i turned around, i was, like, my mom's going to yell at me. >> his mom said she was frantic when she could not find him at the 5k finish line, then she heard there was a young boy on the 10k route and he was doing really well. he ended up in first place.
