“Raise, like children” – A Puzzling Parentage

This week’s crossword clue, “Raise, like children“, sent me down a rabbit hole of parenting metaphors. Is it a straightforward farming reference? A playful nod to nurturing? Or something more abstract entirely?

Let’s break it down. The clue clearly hints at a verb, “raise”, but the comparison to “children” adds a layer of complexity.

Here’s what we know:

Raise

can refer to the act of lifting something up, like a flag or a hand.

Raise

can also refer to growing something, like crops or livestock.

Children

are typically associated with nurture, care, and development.

So, is this a clue about physical action, agricultural practices, or perhaps a more metaphorical approach to growth?

To solve this puzzle, we need to consider the context. Is the clue part of a themed puzzle? Are there other clues that might provide hints?

As always, the key to cracking this crossword clue lies in thinking outside the box. Let me know in the comments if you’ve got any theories!
