Kids of Future Past

From technology to climate change, the world has changed rapidly in the past 100 years. However, something that has not changed is the occupation of holding and rocking babies to sleep. For instance, my mom used the same wooden rocking chair to rock all three of her children. Years of wear and tear have passed, but she still uses it today to rock my niece. Even with all the new gadgets on the market that can simulate a mother's warmth and heartbeat, that 25-year-old rocking chair and a nurturing presence still works just as well. And I suspect it always will.
