As kids head back to school, they also head back to an array of after school extracurriculars — whether that's a sport, instrument, or hours’ worth of homework (often, all three). So, as another busy school year begins, Sean and Rachel are here to remind parents that, though extracurricular activities can teach kids valuable lessons, they shouldn't become your child's (or family's) entire world.

To dig deeper into the topic, the Duffys revisit their conversation with the author of Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be and father of six, Timothy Carney.
