This really gets me going.
Behavioural drugs for "problem" kids has grown out of all proportion to the number of kids who actually have problems.
We are in danger of labelling huge parts of the next generation "disturbed" simply for doing what many kids do!
Kids are just like adults, they get moody, ticked off and have a temper - but instead of dealing with it as parents, increasing numbers of people are
turning to drugs, condemning a child to a lifetime of dependancy, trauma and being labelled as "loony".
There is nothing right about this increased use of drugs, and everything wrong with it.
