[Xmca-l] Re: Help With Russian

[David Kellogg]

Dear Annalisa and Natalia:

So! It's sort of a kind of an infusion--an "accomodating to":

"But since the process of child development is intimately linked with the
enculturation of the child and the articulation of enculturation into
individual stages is based on a great deal of practical experience,
accomodating the stages in the formation of enculturation of the child
naturally means that dividing up childhood according to pedagogical
principles often brings us very close to the real and practical division of
childhood into individual periods. To this day, pedological periodization
has retained the pedagogical designations of individual ages, which are
named according to the stages of public education that take place for the
child at given ages: preschool age, primary school age, etc"

You see? It fits in perfectly. And that was all I wanted for Channukristmas.

Many thanks to both of you,

David Kellogg
