One thing I’ve done with my children (now teens and adults) to help them express themselves was to encourage them to write personal greeting cards. This forced them to do some thinking and express positive feelings they had for other family members…..yeah I know they may not always be completely honest but surely you can find at least one positive thing to say about someone. This little exercise is also helpful to the recipient as something positive about them is acknowledged.
Anyway…this was just a small thing that I thought was worthwhile.
