Upbringing, education (7)
I believe the answer is:
nurture
I believe this is a double definition.
'upbringing' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'education' is the second definition.
(nurture can mean development or education)
(Other definitions for nurture that I've seen before include "Supply sustenance to" , "Care for, feed, educate" , "Help develop and grow" , "Parenting" , "Cherish (an ambition)" .)
