Do you believe that there a correlation between the gifts of the Holy Spirit and nurturing care giving?
Yes, of course, and this is why - a spiritually corrupt or a spiritually dead person would not be a nurturing care giver.
The ability to nurture is a spiritual gift. Likewise, all of nature is spiritually driven. A child’s personality is a spiritual thing and I believe children are born innocent. I know not all people agree.
Nature and nurture are interactive spiritually driven forces. Psychologist Donald Hebb once answered : It’s like asking which contributes more to a rectangle, it’s length or it’s width?
A loving home with Godly values can produce wonderful, well-balanced children; a violent home produces less socially and emotionally adequate children - they may need help to learn basic trust and love in order to be productive, happy members of society, and it is too late in some cases.
im an atheist but having been raised Roman Catholic I can honestly say people aren’t preprogrammed to be socially/emotionally developed - genetics play a part, but its mostly the enviroment in which someone is raised that determines who they are. For example the presence of a stable, supportive father-figure is critical in the positive development of adolescent boys - my parents divorced when I was 7, so I guess that explains quite a bit
