When Your Child Has Breath-Holding Spells

During a breath-holding spell, your child holds their breath for a while before briefly losing consciousness. Breath-holding spells often happen after a trauma or an emotional upset. They occur most often in children under age 3. They can be scary for both parents and children. But they usually aren't a serious problem. And they often stop by the time a child is 5 or 6 years old.
