The new edition of Grow & Thrive looks at asthma. Australia has one of the highest asthma prevalence rates in the world – about 2 in every 10 people – meaning that teachers and early childhood educators are almost certain to have at least one child who is affected by asthma in their group.
Staying on top of the particulars of each child’s condition requires thorough documentation and great communication. For suggestions and ideas, read the latest edition of Grow & Thrive. There’s general asthma information, as well as articles for early childhood educators, early primary teachers, and fact sheets for families.
