I share the very latest expert advice and current research in the field, and I have the knowledge, skills, and experience to help you apply this information with your children.
I customize all ECS services to fit your program, conference or family and to meet your goals. I aim to provide the support you need to help your program or parenting be the best it can be! Here's what I do:

- I come to your conference or program to provide professional development to administrators, teachers, and staff; I can accommodate any group size
- I always customize each session to meet the specific needs of the participants and the program, and I can also provide a comprehensive series of training or professional development that builds on skills attained

Teaching Tools & Toys
ECS has published our first children's picture book, My Friend EEPWORM by Corinne Goyette. Corinne wrote and illustrated My Friend EEPWORM to share these comfort objects she treasured as a child. She wants eepworms to soothe other children, especially those who struggle with strong, scary feelings as she did.
|
In this story, an eepworm wants to be a caring friend to help children throughout their day. He shows what he can do to soothe them, no matter how they feel. This book delightfully demonstrates how an eepworm can provide companionship, comfort, and calming. Children will love reading or hearing the story and having an eepworm of their very own! Extra eepworms are also available separately. Safety Note: Eepworms are not intended for children under 3. We now have king-size eepworms too! At almost 20" tall, they are perfect for hugging! |

Free to all in the Houston area!
Corinne and I would love to come to your program, school, conference, library, moms group meeting place or anywhere in the Houston Metro where people are interested in hearing about eepworms and emotions!
In addition to the reading and book signing, we can spend a few minutes talking about emotional regulation and explaining how the book and toy can help children soothe their stress. We would also be happy to answer any questions from children or adults.
