nurture
To cherish is both to hold dear and to treat as dear. Mere unexpressed esteem would not be cherishing. In the marriage vow, «to love, honor, and cherish,» the word cherish implies all that each can do by love and tenderness for the welfare and happiness of the other, as by support, protection, care in sickness, comfort in sorrow, sympathy, and help of every kind. To nurse is to tend the helpless or feeble, as infants, or the sick or wounded. To nourish is strictly to sustain and build up by food; to nurture includes careful mental and spiritual training, with something of love and tenderness; to foster is simply to maintain and care for, to bring up; a foster-child will be nourished, but may not be as tenderly nurtured or as lovingly cherished as if one’s own. In the figurative sense, the opinion one cherishes he holds, not with mere cold conviction, but with loving devotion.

How to use «Nurture» in context?
Many people view «nurture» as the complete opposite of «nature.» They believe that nature is everything that we are not supposed to tamper with, while nurture is everything that we are supposed to do in order to make someone into a proper citizen. What these people do not know is that there are many types of nurture, and that we need all of them in order to create healthy and happy people.
One type of nurture is what we commonly refer to as parental guidance or explicit instruction. This type of nurture is necessary in order to teach our children the proper etiquette and morals.
