I agree fully with Sir Ken Robinson. Today's society does not focus enough on the creative aspect of the human mind. Kids left and right are taking medications for so called chemical imbalances in the brain. I myself take medication for ADD(attention deficit disorder). Its crazy because before I started taking the medication I would paint and draw. Now that I have been taking this medication for 13 years or so I lost my desire to draw.
I feel like in some situations medication is needed to help calm children down a little, but don't give a kid medication just because he/she is a handful. Children are supposed to be a handful. Don't hider the young minds of children, embrace the arts in school and show more interest in the energy of your child.

Too much medication! Maybe you need it. Maybe not. But in general I think we over medicate.
