Asthma first aid

Do your kids know Asthma First Aid?

It is a great time to educate your kids about asthma and what to do in an emergency—both for themselves and their friends. Empowering kids with this knowledge can make all the difference when it matters most.

Teaching your child to recognise asthma symptoms, like tight chest or puffing, and how to respond calmly is key. They should know how to use their reliever puffer correctly and when to seek help from an adult. It’s also a good idea to teach them how to support a friend having an asthma emergency—quick action can save lives.

The Asthma First Aid with a Blue Reliever video is a great resource to get started. It’s simple and easy to follow, so you can watch it with your child to help them feel more confident and prepared.

By helping your child to understand their asthma better, you’re helping them stay safe, support their friends and enjoy a healthy, happy school year!
