Nourish versus Instruct

Do you nourish or do you instruct
and which comes first, if both are necessary?
Instructing, you provide knowledge.
You give lessons, you give orders, you give quizzes

Nourishing, you furnish development.
You promote, you elevate.
But can you furnish development without providing instruction,
and can you provide instruction without giving orders and quizzes?

I order the child to listen
I order the child to be still and listen
Me child is naturally rebellious
Me child is positively curious

Me child is curiously wicked
