If the user's token has expired but the authToken still resides in localstorage, the next attempt to access /private will redirect to /login.
However, will read that there is an authToken, and show "logout", whereas, it should say "Register / Sign In".
Solution: Create a stateful variable that will tell whether the session is expired and make the login/logout link text contingent upon that variable.
Question: Why doesn't Navbar rerender? Because Navbar is a sibling of /login or /parent, so will not rerender just because the siblings rerender.
