"Declaratives teach children to use language in a creative non-scripted manner" (Dr. Steven Gutstein, 02/09/04)

"So we want to practice invitations, declarations, regulatory communications, self-regulations, shared narrative, self narrative, curious communications, celebrations, affirmations, and anticipation, reflection, mental rehearsal too, and conditional 'what if' language, and of course jokes, and silly but creative talk, and sound effects, and chants and poems and created songs and play-by-play narrations ..." (Dr. Steven Gutstein 02/09/04)
