practice ends and don't let your yoga pants get tied in a knot. this school district came up with this ad, moms we're talked to don't like it at all. robin scott, for example, has a son in first grade in louden and a two-year-old, she's a busy mom, like so many of us. she finds the ad offensive. >> this is a discussion many of our social media groups. and i have -- you know, i think a lot of us feel the same way. i feels like this feeds into the patriarchal society. the women i know are strong, leaders, they have their lives together. they're multi taskers and it was insulting. >> reporter: this school district declined to talk about this ad on camera, saying that it was meant to be broad satire on the busy and hectic lifest e lifestyles in our area and they do apologize. angie and leon, the school district has since pulled the ad and a similar video that was out.

>> you think they would have tested that with some of the moms that were there on the board maybe before trotting that thing out. >> there's a lot of dads that have those responsibilities, too, you know. >> that's true, too. >> thanks kristin. >> reporter: good point. getting ready for school often means a visit to the doctor's office, right. >> so exciting. it's not just for getting vaccine that is we're hear so much about, especially this time of year. dr. jackie -- i always mess this up. i am so sorry. a family allergy care joining us now with more. we're not just talking about going in and getting your usual shots. >> that's right. the ones you really want to focus on is particularly the school aged kids. and if you look at a particular graph that we'll give you access a little later. it's really that school age kid, the ages of 11, 12 those middle schoolers they'll end up needing, if you look at those, green boxes, the tetanus shot,

they're also going to need hpv. that's for cervical cancer, boys and girls need to get that. and then, lastly, you'll want to get that again when you're back in high school, that 16 to 18-year-old. so those two big times middle school and high school. >> you're also adding something else to this regimen, they should get through shots. >> we're go through this year after year after year, it really is because the flu is a bad respiratory disease. we're going to do a story on some school that's closed down. go get it. go get it now. >> what do you say who parents who are concerned about vaccines to begin. >> there was an article today in the post that talks about how this rise of keeping people away from vaccines is really on the move again and they're spreading false information. vaccinations do not cause autism. but vaccinations prevent against disease. disease causes death and that's whhe

there's polio and even flu. >> big issue in the upper midwest. we've been watching it play out in the minneapolis. >> and it's on the rise. >> speaking of rise, big surprise to hear about this, you say the kids should be getting their blood pressure checked. >> yes. >> at young ages. >> very young ages. so this was a recent survey that was done that showed that now instead of it being like 1% of kids have high blood pressure. it's up to 3.5%. we're don't know why because it's the type of high blood pressure that there is no cause. that also means there are no symptoms. so your kid can be walking around with high blood pressure, make sure you go get their blood pressure checked, again, where is that going to cause damage, to the eyes, to the kidney, of course to the heart at young page go get it looked into so you can grow old. >> it's not because of a lot of salt, it can be -- it's called essential hypertension, meaning we're don't know why. >> you mention the eyes, that's important,

everybody was aware what was happening with their eyes. >> most of us were. >> some of us were not being as careful as we're should have. what's happening it's called myopia, you can't see far and it's particularly big at the ages of six and seven when you're first starting school. go get your kids checked now. i don't want to find out in october they haven't seen half the stuff on the board. the middle schoolers, that's when those prescriptions change tremendously. they need to get their prescriptions updated every year. it changes a lot in those young teenage years. >> and myopia, i've heard about the digital devices and all that playing into that. >> making their eyesight work, so get that done. >> thanks, doc. always great advice. if you want to check out the cdc chart search vaccinations. sure appreciate the advice. all right, coming up just ahead, here, folks, much more. one first kid comes to the defense of another, why chelsea

theater. shell see clinton caught wind she caught wind of the story and sparing trump deserves the chance to be a kid standing up for every kid, also means opposing po tus's policy that hurt kids. defending barron on social media. you think it's somewhat of a universal rule that the kids are off limits. >> only a handful of kids on the planet can actually say they know what that feels like. >> and besides, it's a cool shirt. i like that shirt. >> exactly. he's millionaire, you can wear what you want. >> you stepped outside. you checked out the eclipse yesterday. didn't feel like you burned your eyes, did it? there's still a chance you did do some damage. we're working for you the signs you need to look out for, now. >> crooks going after your money more than ever. the warning signs you should

first at 4:00, the president is now in arizona. air force one just touched down at the marine corps air station in arizona. president trump is going to be hosting a rally in phoenix tonight at 9:00. now we're just learned moments ago that the president will not be pardoning sheriff joe, very controversial figure there in phoenix, we'll be monitoring that of course and we'll bring you the big takeaways on news 4 at 11:00. the president will go unscripted at tonight's rally. his appearance comes even as the mayor of phoenix asked him not to come because of his response to the violence in charlottesville. all right. now, if you happen to look up at the sun without the proper glasses yesterday, you actually may have done some damage to your eyes. >> that's right we're working for you, though, with more on the post eclipse symptoms chris lawrence is here to show

to watch out for. >> the blurry vision may not come over you for a couple of days. if you did look directly at the sun, well, hopefully you were wearing a pair of eclipse glasses like this. but sometimes i get it. the urge to peek is too great. even the president couldn't resist stealing a glance upwards in dc by now you may have seen the video looking towards the eclipse without glasses. we're could hear people screaming, don't look up. it was just a few seconds and the question is, was that long enough to do damage. >> well, one doctor put it this way. if you look at it for a second or two, nothing will happen. five seconds, i'm not sure. but ten seconds is probably too long and 20 seconds most definitely. but when should you be concerned. generally a symptoms don't show up for about 12 hours after the damage has been done. that's the point where you might start seeing some blurry vision, ev

areas. so, the thing is you're not doing to feel any pain because the retina itself doesn't have any pain fibers, but that could be masking some real damage. look at this. this is how you tell. one way to test your eyes, you can printout something. it's called the grid, you close each eye separately and you focus on this center dot right here. when you see if the surrounding grid appears wavy, sploshy, distorted. take a look at this, if you see anything like this, you've got to go see an eye doctor. in fact, if you notice any change in your vision, well, it's probably a good idea to get it diagnosed just as soon as possible. leon. >> that's right. the doctors are close to solving a mystery that could help save some lives. >> jim hanley is in the newsroom with this story we're working on for news 4 at 5:00. >> it is not the same thing as a heart
