Christina Wyman is a USA Today bestselling author and teacher living in Michigan. Her new middle-grade novel, “Slouch,” is about a tall girl navigating friends, family, self-esteem and boundaries, and will be available fall 2024 wherever books are sold, including through local independent bookstores.
I’m 44 years old and I’ve known since my early 30s that motherhood was not in the cards for me. This wasn’t a choice that my adult circumstances made for me — it was a choice I made for myself. And I’m hardly alone: A new study from the Pew Research Center shows that a growing number of Americans are opting out of parenthood. And the No. 1 reason people under age 50 gave for that choice? They just don’t want to.
I taught in a Title I district, which is code for schools serving large populations of students with financial need. I’ve witnessed children come to school sick, hungry or in dire need of mental health services that weren’t available. I’ve long believed that society has a responsibility to take care of its families. I now work at a university, where I teach in a preparation program for future teachers.
