Pediatric Asthma Care in New Jersey
Clear Plans.
Calmer Breathing.
Happier Kids.
Asthma can affect more than just your child’s breathing. It can impact their sleep, energy, play, and even their self-esteem. At Weisman Children’s, we help families understand asthma and build a clear, simple asthma care plan that makes daily life easier and safer.
Whether your child was just diagnosed, or you’ve been managing asthma for years, our NJ team is here to help your child breathe better and feel better.
Real Progress Starts With Child-Centered Asthma Support
From fewer ER visits to better sleep and more confident school days, the difference that pediatric asthma care can make is life-changing. Asthma care should be simple, clear, and focused on what really helps. At Weisman Children’s, our approach may include:
- Helping your child understand what asthma is and how to talk about it
- Creating a clear action plan for asthma flare-ups
- Inhaler training and medication management
- Identifying triggers and building strategies to avoid them
- Working with your child’s school, coaches, or daycare to keep them safe
- Supporting the emotional side of living with asthma
Through our Weisman Cares program, we support families for up to 15 months after treatment to help overcome challenges and maintain progress at home. Because when kids understand their asthma and feel confident managing it, everything gets a little easier for them and for you.
Why Families Trust Weisman Children’s
Families tell us they come to Weisman Children’s for the care, and stay because of the people. We take the time to understand each child, answer every question, and create an asthma care plan that feels manageable for real life. At Weisman Children’s, you’re not just getting treatment. You’re getting a partner in your child’s health.
Focused on Your Child, Committed to Your Family
We know asthma affects more than just your child’s lungs. It affects your whole family’s day-to-day life. That’s why we listen closely, answer every question, and make sure you never feel like you’re facing it alone.
Care That Grows With Your Child
As your child grows, their asthma care should grow too. We adjust treatment based on age, development, and lifestyle, so your child gets exactly what they need at every stage.
Age-Specific Care From Diagnosis to Daily Life
We work with children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. Whether we’re teaching a young child how to use an inhaler or helping a teen manage triggers during sports, we meet kids where they are and move at their own pace.
Take Control of Pediatric Asthma
Asthma doesn’t have to control your child’s life. With the right tools and support, they can breathe easier, sleep better, and enjoy more of what they love. We’re here to help make that possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best treatment for childhood asthma?
The best treatment depends on the child, but it typically includes quick-relief medication (such as an inhaler) and long-term control medication. We create a plan based on your child’s specific needs.
Can a parent or caregiver stay overnight with their child?
Yes! We understand how important it is for families to be together during this time. A parent or caregiver can stay overnight in our comfortable, family-friendly rooms, so you can be there for your child and feel supported throughout their stay.
Have patients with asthma experienced improvements in their daily livesafter completing the program?
89% of patients had reductions in asthma related hospitalizations 15 months post discharge (d/c as of 12/31/23)
40% of patients had reductions in respiratory related ED visits 15 months post discharge (d/c as of 12/31/23)
What is the most common medication for children with asthma?
Albuterol is one of the most commonly used quick-relief medications. Some children also need daily medications to prevent symptoms. Our team explains how each medicine works and when it should be used.
Is childhood asthma a lifelong diagnosis?
Not always. Some children grow out of their symptoms, while others may require ongoing support into adulthood. With the right care early on, children often manage asthma well and live full, active lives.
At what age does childhood asthma stop?
Every child is different. Some kids outgrow asthma by their teen years, while others continue to have symptoms. We keep our asthma care flexible and adjust as your child grows.
