Yes, you're on the right track with your response!

Asthma Care Plan

To calm and reassure the children you could:

- let them know what's happening
- reassure them that Mia is going to be alright
- tell them to go with another educator while you help Mia and you'll let them know once Mia is alright
- after Mia is fine, talk to the children about what happened, how they feel etc.

Hope this helps,
