English translation:Overzealous parenting
Explanation:
Frank你好,这一段话段可以这么翻译: "It cannot be denied that in the north, there is an increasing number of overburdened children and more overzealous parenting than ever."

注意:“过度安排的”翻译成“overburdened”要好些,然后因为有多余一个儿童所以是"children".

Notes to answerer
Asker: 原文是一篇论文,应该是从以下两篇引用的文字: KARSTEN L. Growing up in Amsterdam: Differentiation and segregation in children’s daily lives[J]. Urban Studies, 1998, 35 (3): 565-81. KATZ C. Childhood as spectacle: Relays of anxiety and the reconfiguration of the child[J]. Cultural Geographies, 2008, 15 (1): 5-17. overscheduled应该是参考文件中英文原文的表达。
