My seven-year-old was recently diagnosed with asthma, and we're struggling to get her to use her spacer with the inhaler correctly every time, which makes me worry the medication isn't reaching her lungs. We also need to create an asthma action plan for her school, but the template from her pediatrician feels overwhelming. For other parents navigating this, what techniques or tools helped your child master their inhaler technique, and how did you effectively communicate with teachers and the school nurse to ensure they're prepared to handle an asthma episode during the day?
