This is the NINTH Category.
Caring is perceived as human behaviour that includes cognitive, affective, psychomotor and administrative skills within which professional caring may be expressed. It is a vital resource within the highly technological area of the medical sciences. The terms care and caring are predominantly used to describe the inherent work and value of nursing.
Commonly referred to as that "warm fuzzy feeling," caring is the kindness or love you have towards another individual. You can also use caring (as an adjective) to describe a person who acts in this warm and fuzzy way.
There's a reason for the saying "caring is sharing." You and your best buddy might exhibit caring, or affection, by sharing secrets, hugs, and the contents of your lunch boxes. Caring can also be an adjective. Caring nurses, parents, and teachers are great "caregivers" because they dole out warm fuzziness all day long. Well, at least sometimes.
A caring person is kind, empathetic, and deeply concerned about the well-being and feelings of others. They offer emotional support, notice when someone is hurting, and act with compassion to help people feel safe, valued, and heard.
