New media analysis research from Berkeley Media Studies Group, conducted for Voices for Healthy Kids, reveals strategic communication lessons for advocates looking to implement taxes on sugary drinks.

When I had my first child, my husband had just started his education. I had been working on my degree too. But we did the numbers and it made more sense for me to stay home. Because of the cost, my family has never used outside-of-the-home child care.

I've been working two jobs since my daughter, Kennedi, was born in 2015. Child care has always been a must. I chose an in-home daycare for my daughter. Of course, this meant that I missed some of her important moments. At her child care, they saw her start to walk. She lost her first tooth there, and did potty training. I'm so thankful to say that they have treated her just as if she was their own.
