What does it mean to be Nurturing?

Nurturing is critical for all families to live in harmony and happiness. To nurture is to promote the growth and development of all of one’s positive traits, qualities, and characteristics. To nurture is to respect and care for yourself, for others and for your environment. To nurture is to view the world and all the people, animals and things in it as having value and worth. To nurture is to believe with all of one’s heart in the inherent goodness of life. Nurturing is the most powerful characteristic parents can have to promote the positive life of their children.
