“I’ve had many friends who, soon after they were married, were constantly facing questions from friends and relatives about when they were going to start having children. Many people assume this would be the next logical step. However, many couples choose not to have children, and more than four million married men and women in the U.S. have difficulty conceiving or carrying a child to birth.” This 2-page Family Album Radio transcript was written by Donna Davis, and published by the UF Department of Family Youth and Community Sciences, July 2012.

Shopping Cart Injuries (FAR5009/FM448)
“Perhaps you were one of those children who thought of the shopping cart as a mountain for the courageous climber to conquer, or a racecar with you at the wheel. Or you’ve been challenged by one of those children in the grocery store who were not just riding in, but standing in, climbing on, or pushing that shopping cart like it was their own private jungle gym, skateboard, or glider.”

Music Lyrics and Influence on Teen Sex (FAR1213/FM449)
“As a baby boomer, I was part of the generation that grew up with rock and roll. I recall the first time I heard my mother respond to explicit lyrics my older brother was listening to and thinking what a renegade he was. They weren’t nearly as explicit as the lyrics of today’s music, and while I swore that I’d never become my mother, I now find myself fighting with my children to turn it off! Perhaps mom was not so far off-base after all!” This 2-page Family Album Radio transcript was written by Donna Davis, and published by the UF Department of Family Youth and Community Sciences, July 2012.
