How can I encourage my child to express their feelings?

It's great that you want to encourage your child! You can start by creating a safe space for them to share.

What are some activities that can help with this?

Activities like drawing, storytelling, or role-playing can help children express their feelings more openly.

Should I ask them direct questions or let them talk freely?

A mix of both works well! Ask open-ended questions but also give them the freedom to share what they want.

How do I handle it if they don't want to talk?

If they’re not ready, respect their space. Let them know you're there for them whenever they feel like talking.
