Social Sciences - Psychology / child development in Afghanistan | | French term or phrase: proximité de statuts | The term is found in the passage below; I am also having trouble with "coordinations logiques." The article cited is in the European Journal of Psychology of Education and was written in English, but I don't have access to it. The best I came up with is that "proximité de statuts" might have something to do with children gaining familiarity with others of different social status, although these others are generally relatives or neighbors, and "coordinations logiques" might have something to do with an ability to discern cause and effect. Any suggestions very much appreciated.
"Mais il faut savoir que les parents ne sont pas les seules opportunités d’attachement offertes à l’enfant. Il n’est pas rare de trouver qu’une amie (ou une cousine, un voisin, une tante de l’âge de l’enfant) accompagne tous les moments hors de la maison, est le partenaire de jeu dans les centres et parfois dans les foyers. Les amitiés entre enfants permettent la proximité de statuts, la ressemblance, la réciprocité, induisent la reconnaissance et le respect d’états mentaux chez l’autre, et sollicitent également des coordinations logiques qui sont précieuses à ces stades de développement (Da silva et Winnykamen, 1998)." |

8 hrs confidence: | proximité de statuts levelling of social differences
Explanation:
I think this is referring to the fact that children disregard differences in social class.
If you look at the few refs on the web in which "proximité de statut" is used, there is the idea of belonging to a particular social group, of not feeling different.
