Take steps to control asthma

First: Think about when your child’s asthma got worse

Was your child near someone who was smoking?

Playing with a friend’s dog? Outside when the air

pollution level was high?

Next: Look at the triggers listed on pages 21 to 30

Circle the triggers you notice make your child’s

asthma worse

Finally: Use the tips on the next several pages and

work with your child’s doctor to learn ways to

- Keep your child away from triggers when possible

- Remove the triggers from your home, school or

 Daycare

Get rid of your child’s asthma triggers

When you remove triggers from your home or keep

your child away from triggers outdoors, you help

your child stay healthy and have fewer asthma attacks

Use pages 21 to 30 as a guide to find what may trigger

your child’s asthma and what you can do about it
