Agree Disagree Don't know Don't care

I think that: Too many British children are being prescribed drugs such as Ritalin for hyperactivity or ADHD.

Because: There should be greater encouragement of alternative measures before prescriptions, such as changing the child's diet and bedtime routine.

Alternatives measures

I would highly recommend meditation or relaxation techniques for a start. Proper exercises or more outdoor activities would help.

Healthy diet

Too many kids don't eat a healthy diet. Cut out the junk food and artificial additives, and that will help reduce behavioural problems.
