A new interactive, kid-friendly website has been launched by the National Asthma Council Australia to give kids with asthma and their parents the low down on all things asthma-related.

Check out www.kidswithasthma.com.au

• Information for parents
• Games for kids
• Printable resources

The fun and informative site uses simple facts and an interactive asthma-themed Game Zone to appeal to younger patients, backing up the messages with more detailed information for parents.

Kids With Asthma includes:

• Basic facts
• Diagnosis
• Asthma medications
• Management
• FAQs

New seasonal information will be added to the website every quarter to remind parents and children of things to be aware of in their asthma management at different times of the year.
