It’s spring here in the Western Hemisphere, and as good a reminder as any that the Earth circles the sun, the roots go down and the trees go up, and time putters on. The world changes, sometimes so much that you look around and realize that your children’s existence is so far from yours at their age.

Take Cindy Crawford, supermodel, and her daughter Kaia Gerber, also a model. They’re both in the same line of work and have very good, very similar eyebrows. But the world is different. It’s too much change. “It’s a much different landscape than it was kind of when I was her age,” she told People, referring to social media, i.e., the coin of the modeling realm.

“Like anything, there’s good and bad sides to it,” she said. “The good thing is you have direct communication with your audience. The bad thing can be, it’s a lot of pressure and you see a lot of snarky comments on there.”

“I’m learning along with her about that stuff, but I feel like she seems like she has a very good head on her shoulders and is figuring out how she wants to create that private work-public balance.”

She may be ambivalent about social media, but she can take solace, maybe, in the fact that the good head on her daughter’s shoulders is so much like her own.
