(NECN) - When kids are over-scheduled during the school year, it puts stress on both children and their parents.

So, how much is too much?

Joining NECN for a discussion is the co-author of the book "Pressured Parents, Stressed-Out Kids," Wendy Grolnick.

Wendy is also a professor of psychology at Clark University, a parenting expert and a mom.
