My 9 yr old step daughter has been having trouble breathing..It occurs when something really stressful happens to her. The first time we noticed her hyperventilating was when she was on the big bouncy blow up thing at an event and it malfunctioned and deflated....then soon after that she went to the school nurse on a day she was crying wishing her parents were still together. She has been asking lots of questions about why her mother and I don't speak...I try to explain it as best I can but it seems that she may be having anxiety or panic attacks...is this possible? Any advice would be appreciated.

While you are waiting for further evaluation and treatment for your child, please note it is very important that you reassure and listen to your child. Remind them it is not their fault.
All the best,
