English term or phrase: adults have the capacity to place events in some context
Very abstract isn't it (I dont' think I am sure of the meaning of the term myself) but I would appreciate any leads or suggestions.
thanks

بإمكان البالغين رَبط الأحداث بإطارٍ ما
Explanation:
You have many options here. For instance, you can say,

وَضع الأحداث في إطارٍ ما

You can also use the term وَقائع

But the key term in this sentence is "context," which I understand as a "frame of reference." Such a frame typically consists of time, place, characters, and circumstances, so that events are not abstract notions, but are part of a dramatic action.

You can also say

تأطير الأحداث في سياقٍ ما
