Of course, those were different times and children were a lot safer back then. Itโs not that abductions and other problems didnโt occur, we just didnโt hear about them as often.
There was another invention that came up thanks to a woman named Emma Reed. She wanted children in the city to also have the opportunity to get fresh air, so she designed a cage that would hang outside of the window.
This cage for babies was essentially a metal box that would be suspended on the outside of the building. It started to gain some traction and even Eleanor Roosevelt started using one, until a neighbor said they would call the authorities if she didnโt take it down.
Looking back on baby cages and some of the other choices that were made in the 1920s, we may feel as if we werenโt always doing the right thing. Parenting is not easy, and we are all going to make mistakes.
These days, we may be a little more lenient on our children but some balance is needed. When we incorporate some of the old days in with the new days, we may just find that we have the options necessary to raise healthy and happy children.
