All in all, I think it's dangerous to recommend anything other than meds to a kid.
Adults are stronger, naturally, and will have more inclination and understanding of exercise and diet etc.
I ended up in casualty many times with life threatening attacks. Some of my earliest memories are being driven to the A&E department and the "flavour" of a nebulizer - which probably saved my life several times. Telling a child to relax and hold their breath ain't going to work. Drugs and plenty of them are the only way if it gets to be that bad. I had full inhalers emptied down me during such times to no effect at all.
I also remember the cute nurses. I'll probably develop some weird fetish in a few years...
