Is a father protecting his child and placing himself at risk nurturing too?

[Anonymous]

My dad is less expressive than my mom and tends to show more actions. Though when I was 10, he did once took the impact (on his legs) of a reckless old driver just to get me out of the way. I was ok but he had to walk with crutches for a whole month and do physical therapy.

Would that be just as nurturing as a mother that provides affection, comfort and warmth towards her child?

One thing he was very expressive about is him saying if he had to place himself at risk for me again (even if it meant him getting hurt or dying), he would in a heartbeat

Good fathers are just as protective and nurturing as mothers. They may show it differently, but I know of no good father who doesn’t nurture and develop his kids.

Yes, fathers are very protective and nurturing too.

That is a very nurturing thing to do
