🌹bring up / grow up
✍Children grow up – they get older, bigger, and more mature:
I grew up in a small town where everybody knew each other.
Your kids are 12 and 14 already? Wow - they're growing up so fast!
✍We usually use grow up only until kids become adults around age 18. After that, we can say they are all grown up (meaning they have finished the growing up process).
✍Saying that an adult needs to grow up means they are acting immature, like a baby or child, and you want them to act more mature.
✍Parents (or other adults) bring up the children.
✍The expression bring up can have the connotation of both caring and educating. An alternative word is raise:
My parents brought me up to be polite and respectful.= My parents raised me to be polite and respectful.
Henry's parents died when he was young, so his grandparents brought him up.= Henry's parents died when he was young, so his grandparents raised him.
✍Bring up and raise are often used in the passive voice:
I was brought up to be polite and respectful.= I was raised to be polite and respectful.
Henry's parents died when he was young, so he was brought up by his grandparents.= Henry's parents died when he was young, so he was raised by his grandparents.
