well, children (it seems) use associative thought rather than sequential logic and so sentence construction tends to be hard for them, it's an imposition of order, a closed system - whch (at that stage) is unnatural because articulation IS communication to them and so (in a binary sense) all the switches have to be 'open'.*
if that makes any sense - and, sorry, children and language... pet subject here too.
*a full stop is like telling someone not to talk about a movie and then taking them to the cinema... neurologically it's very, very hard NOT to talk about it since that completes a communication process for the individual via the screen (the feedback between what is seen and what is projected onto that by the viewer) and finally onto the nearest other person. Not discussing the film closes a circuit too early.
The communication theory model behind that - seems applicable to children and thought vs language construction.
