How can I encourage my kids to express themselves?

Encouraging kids to express themselves can be done through open communication, creative activities, and active listening. What age are your kids?

They are 5 and 8 years old.

Great! For younger kids, you can use art and play to help them express their feelings. For the 8-year-old, try discussing their day and asking open-ended questions.

What kind of open-ended questions should I ask?

You can ask questions like, 'What was the best part of your day?' or 'How did that make you feel?' This encourages them to share more.

Thanks! Any tips for using art to help them express themselves?

Absolutely! Provide them with various art supplies and let them create freely. You can also ask them to draw their feelings or stories.
