Have you read this book:

I'm not sure which level of this info would be 'right' for your son, but Shure give great explaination about how to talk about feelings with kids. I think age 2- gifted is a perfect time to start, so don't be put off if the book says: 'age 5-8' or something like that. Just skim around and see which book you think would be helpful to your family.
I think it's a great system, but it usually is too basic for most gifted kids by the time they get to be the ages recommended.
Love and More Love,
