Asthma is one of the most common chronic disorders in childhood. Children with asthma can experience wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and trouble breathing. Asthma can be scary, but it also can be controlled. The Center for Families Resource Library provides many resources to help you deal with your child’s asthma.
We recommend the following websites:
