Sorry to hear about Jack's asthma. Eli...Hey Tori. Sorry to hear about Jack's asthma. Eli had Bronchilitis caused by RSV when he was 6 months and had to use a nebulizer for awhile. Here's the post I wrote about it: http://theclarksonspot.blogspot.com/2008/03/doing-better-but-still-sicky-boy.html<br /><br />I remember he fought it sometimes and not other times, but I can imagine it is harder with a toddler. Some ideas I had were:<br />-if he will need this for quite awhile maybe have him pick out a special "breathing treatment" chair, book, video, stuffed animal, etc. so it is a special and almost fun time. This will also help since he actually has to sit still during the treatments.<br />-pre-teach A LOT about the treatments and try to make them sound fun. Talking about it throughout the day can help prepare him for them. You may feel like a broken record but it may help.<br />-google or go to kid asthma websites as there must be ideas. You can't be the only one struggling with this!!<br />-maybe reward him afterwards for a good job and he'll learn to connect a treat and do it with less fuss<br /><br />Just some ideas. Let us know how he does!!amosclarksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10011964495270572067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1734483603040163640.post-76995260768164758522009-05-21T10:01:28.059-05:002009-05-21T10:01:28.059-05:00I have a tip.
