rearing
Bringing up offspring
Rearing is the raising and care of young, whether children or animals: the rearing of livestock, child-rearing practices.
The word emphasizes the ongoing process of nurturing to maturity.
Rearing also describes a horse rising on its hind legs—an image of sudden, dramatic upward motion: The horse was rearing and bucking.
