A movement is afoot -- and Columbia is part of it -- to address what many call a serious problem: meeting the emotional needs of children. Today's conversation looks at how Columbia administrators, business leaders, community leaders and families are
working together to address the emotional needs of the children in our community. It also gives some practical ideas about how parents can be more effective with their parenting.
