>> i don't know. my son eats popsicles with jell-o in them, so they don't melt so quickly. after more testing, ice cream makers could start using the new additive in a few years. it creeps me out a little. you wipe them down. >> i wonder if it will change the taste at all. >> i don't know. the texture for sure. >> right now, a special washington honor in the works for pope francis. >> we're also closely watching a developing story in baltimore. demonstrators gathering out the courthouse. more of our coverage is still ahead.

men who killed joseph gliniewicz. >> reporter: today the nature of the search seems to have shifted. the officials say they've given up on the focussed search around the two square mile area, around the spot where lieutenant charles j. gliniewicz's body was found. they're focusing on saturation areas to reassure people they're still out there looking for the three suspected cop killers. this is a community on edge and in mourning. lieutenant gliniewicz touched many lives young and old and they've come out to pay tribute to him. >> he was an all-around caring person, and he was, the kids loved it when he came down the street. >> we all tried to run outside. >> they loved it.

make kids stay up late. tell us about the cause of this. >> we don't know exactly what causes it. what we think is ours is there's a natural shift in your biological clock when you become a teenager. sort of the ideal time for the majority of tarngs eenagers to asleep is 11:00 p.m. and wake up around 8:00 p.m. for some of them it's kpo exaggerated. >> what about computers, cell phones and social media? >> that absolutely exacerbates this problem. you're predisposed with the problem, and then when you're exposed to bright light at night, that's teachikeeping you longer. it messes from your mel tone in. >> what can parents do to treat

this? do you have to take your child to a doctor? >> you should take your child to a sleep specialist to address this. it's going to be hard to treat on your own. i think the big problem i see in my practice when i'm trying to help people is the kids are not that motivated to make the change because it's very hard. what you need to do if you have this condition is you need to have a very rigid sleep schedule. first, you switch your sleep schedule, slowly move it up so you're falling asleep at a more reasonable time. sometimes you'll do it with melatonin or using a light box. it advances your sleep at night. but then once you get into a normal sleep pattern, you have to be rigid with sticking to it, and that's hard for a lot of people. kids, college-age student, they want to go out on the weekends and go to bed at 2 in the morning and wake up later. you don't do that with this condition because it perpetuates the problem. >> you can't have bedtimes for

teenagers. they won't follow that. >> motivation is the big issue when you're trying to deal with this issue. >> it's a serious issue. >> it is. it can cause a lot of problems were families and kids. >> thank you. >> my pleasure. >> he will be back with us next week for more advice. >> thank you, barbara. there's a new pig standing next to america's most famous frog.
