Yes. at an asthmatic child, "stresses" , especially emotional (decease, divorce), can cause an asthma attack: the mechanisms of these crises are badly known. Tears and laugh also sometimes cause crises. In fact it is not really the emotion which launches crisis, but a mechanism a bit similar to that of the asthma of effort. What does not mean that it is not possible to reprehend (if he is needed) the asthmatic child or that it is necessary to forbid him, to laugh!
