One more thing for the back-to-school checklist: How’s the air today?

Walking to school. Recess. Soccer practice. Playground time.

As kids head back to school, they’re spending more time outdoors and staying active throughout the day. When air quality is poor, those everyday activities can be harder on growing lungs. You might notice:

- more coughing after recess
- trouble keeping up during sports
- headaches or a sore throat
- feeling more tired than usual outside

Checking the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) before they head out can help you decide whether it’s a normal outdoor day or a day to adjust plans.

Because the goal isn't to keep kids inside, it's to help them keep learning, playing and doing the things they love while protecting their lungs.

This school year, add one more check to the morning routine: Backpack, Lunch, Water bottle, and AQHI.

Help your child breathe easier this school year.

​Back-to-school means new routines, new classrooms and busy days. If your child has asthma, a little preparation can help them feel confident and ready to take part.

​Before the first bell rings:

​- Check that inhalers and medications are current.
- Make sure your child knows where and how to access their inhaler.
- Ensure teachers and school staff understand your child’s asthma needs.
- Review and share your child’s Asthma Action Plan.

​A few simple steps can help your child focus on what matters most — learning, playing and enjoying their school day.

Staying active doesn’t have to mean pushing yourself harder.

​When you’re living with lung disease, movement can look different from day to day.

​A short walk. Gentle stretching. Getting up and moving around the house. Taking breaks when you need them.

​The goal isn’t to keep up with anyone else. It’s about finding ways to move that work for you and building confidence along the way.

​That’s part of what LUNGtivity is all about. New opportunities to move, learn and connect are coming this fall.

What if feeling stronger started with one small step?

​Living with lung disease can change how you approach everyday activities — but it doesn’t mean you have to stop doing the things that matter to you. The right movement, education and support can help you build confidence in what your body can do and find ways to stay active at your own pace.

​This fall, we’re bringing new opportunities to LUNGtivity to help Manitobans living with lung disease move, learn and breathe with greater confidence.

One minute they’re excited for soccer practice.
The next, they’re coughing on the sidelines, struggling to catch their breath.

Poor air quality can turn everyday moments into difficult decisions for families. On smoky or high-pollution days, even healthy children can feel the effects—especially during sports and outdoor activity.

If your child seems more tired than usual, is coughing more, or struggling during activities they normally handle with ease, the air could be part of the problem.

Checking the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) can help you decide when it’s safer to play, exercise, or take activities indoors.
