The term “helicopter parent” is used to
describe a parent who takes an overprotective or excessive interest in the life

to motivate children who are lazy or uninterested in school. What do you think
is the best way to motivate children to learn or study? How much pressure is
too much pressure? What other challenges do modern-day parents and educators
face and what are the best ways to deal with them?
