It's a dutch campaign about boys in elemantary school getting a lot of adhd diagnosis an prescriptions. They call for people to let boys be boys and not see typical boy behaviour as a problem.

A great video. In Finland there is this (female) head psychologist for a children's organization who said it something like this: Boys are expected to become manly but they aren't given the chance to practice it. Meaning that the society (and women for sure) expect them to become strong, independent, protective, aggressive if needed and so on but the same society forbids them from learning those virtues by asking and telling them to "behave" and avoid rough games. And sometimes even by giving them drugs.
