ASTHMATIC CHILDREN AT SCHOOL
I think it is worth stressing that most children with a mild wheeze actually improve at school. This may be partly because they have been removed from an allergic environment but mainly as a result of the increased discipline in the classroom. The child is kept quietly working at a desk, not allowed to become excited and is also not given too much sympathy. Many is the time I have sent my own son Ross to school with a wheeze and spent the day worrying about him only to see him emerge happy and smiling without the slightest sign of any breathing difficulty.
The exception to this rule is the sensitive child who is frightened of a particular teacher and can start to wheeze in advance of certain lessons. Also, undue pressure from parents to do well academically can induce school-time asthma. As the child strives to reach the standards his mother and father expect during the school day a definite episode of wheeziness can develop and this will only ease as the pressure to perform is lifted. I tactfully suggested to Simon’s parents that this could be the case with their son and although they denied it, I am sure it may have been a partial contributory factor.
Equally important as deciding to send your children to school is what action is taken when they are there if a wheezing attack should develop. For a large part of the day they are under someone else’s care and it is vital the teachers are able to handle the situation. If you are lucky then the school will have a proper medical set-up. My son Ross is now in his first term at secondary school which has a sick-bay run by a nursing sister. I have donated a nebulizer to the school so I can rest assured that at least he will be well managed should an attack occur at school. My other children are still at primary school, however and are not so lucky, so what can we do to minimize the risks of problems developing? Parents often complain to me at the asthma clinic that the teachers do not know what to do if a child is wheezy at school. If they are going to be in loco parentis for six to seven hours a day then at least they should have some idea how to look after your child. This is a valid point, but rarely in my experience is it really the teachers’ fault. Teachers are not doctors or nurses and so do not claim to know a great deal about asthma or any other medical condition. At no stage during their training are they given any teaching on simple medical conditions and how to react to them. It is up to you as a parent to protect your child’s health at school and to meet the teacher or nurse and let them know of your child’s asthma. They need to know how often the attacks occur and what brings them on. Are they affected by exercise and is there anything the child should not do? The form teacher should have in writing a list of all the medications that your child takes and how often they should be given. The most vital information is what action should be taken if an attack starts. Remember, while these pocket-sized inhalers will become commonplace to you, most teachers will never even have heard of them, let alone seen one in action, so please go in and show the teachers how they are used. The pressurized bronchodilators like Ventolin and Bricanyl are easy to use and are most effective in stemming an attack. If you leave precise instructions as to how many puffs can be given, and if your child has been properly taught how to use one, then there should be no cause for alarm.
It is essential both for your child’s safety and for the teachers’ peace of mind that they have a telephone number where you can be reached in an emergency. If you do not do this then you have to accept that the limited knowledge of the teacher may not be to the benefit of your child’s condition. If you are unavailable for any reason then it should be made clear that if the school is worried at all, they should be free to take your child to the nearest hospital without fear of criticism. Most school teachers are given little information by parents and are then criticized for not acting correctly when a problem arises. This is hardly fair on the teacher. Seeing a child fighting for breath is very frightening so it is not surprising that teachers tend to panic. I have always found that if you fully explain a plan of action to them that you will have very few problems and your child should have a healthy and happy school life.
