This best-selling guide is very popular with parents and children alike. It helps you to recognize triggers, identify warning signs to prevent flare-ups, treat flare-ups when they occur and set up a treatment plan. It covers the latest information on asthma medicines and how to use a peak flow meter and an MDI. This guide is very interactive with forms (that can be copied for the child’s use) to help with managing asthma. Reviewed by: Jo Ann G.
