Breath-holding spell
Okay, kiddo, do you know when you're angry or scared and you hold your breath for a few seconds? Well, some kids do that too, but they do it a lot longer and it's not because they are angry or scared. It's called a breath-holding spell.
When a kid has a breath-holding spell, they stop breathing for a short time because they are very upset or frustrated. Usually, after a few seconds, they start breathing again on their own.
This is something that can happen to some kids, even toddlers, when they're upset or hurt. It's scary for parents to see because no one wants their little one to stop breathing! But it's usually not something to worry about.
The best thing to do when someone is having a breath-holding spell is to help them calm down and comfort them. You can hold them, talk to them softly, or distract them with a toy or something fun.
Remember, it's normal for some kids to have breath-holding spells, and it usually doesn't cause any harm. But if you're ever in doubt or worried, make sure to talk to a doctor!
