In recent years research on infant development has shown the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited a
32、bilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a babys ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully. The next
33、 stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability.

34、; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others.

35、me or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys. Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same thing to a child.

But political influence is also closely tied to industrial competitiveness. Its often said that without its military the Sovi

44、ustry, and education. That is not to say that the defense department will not be a strong force in the process.
