 Here's another Thrive Tip from Kaiser Permanente and Fox 12. While asthma affects people of all ages, children with asthma have special concerns. That's why it's important to have the whole family engaged in managing your child's asthma. We estimate that 10% of children have asthma at some point in their lives. In asthma management, it's very important that we include all the family members need to know which medications the child is on, how to use the medications and what devices need to be used to administer that medication. So I think that an asthma action plan that is written and explained to the family is critical. When we have buy-in from the families and they understand what the condition is, we get a lot of compliance with medications and those kids do actually quite well. Even though asthma is a lifelong condition, treatment can control it and keep your child healthy. Work with your family physician to develop an asthma action plan that's right for your child.
