Hi Tara,

 

I spent over an hour looking for an appropriate video to link for you. I saw a few but they were either too technical or more directed to those ages five and under. I found two sites that had some interesting videos providing information about asthma. You should view the videos first, and then with your child. The first site contains a series of videos that require you to select individually, based on the topic.

 

Compilation of videos

 

Video about asthma management in children

 

I'll keep an eye out for a video on nebulizer treatments for older children.

 

 

Yours,
