What are some fun activities to teach kids about their feelings?

How can I make the feelings journal more engaging?

You can add prompts like 'Draw a time you felt happy' or 'What color represents your anger?' to spark creativity!

How do I encourage my child to express their feelings?

Encourage open conversations, validate their feelings, and model emotional expression yourself. Use activities to make it fun!
