Breath Holding Spell

This video may be disturbing to watch, so be prepared. My youngest son suffers from Breath Holding Spells. We have found the best thing to do when he does this is to make sure he is safe and laying down because he will pass out standing. In the video he passes out for a few seconds, however, he has passed out before for a minute and a half. In the video he begins to cry because I told him it’s time for bed. He then loses his breath and begins to have a breath holding spell. We have been advised that allowing these behaviors to be rewarded will make them worse so I continued with my original plan of getting him ready for bed (risking making him have another) and finally was able to get him in bed. Hopefully this video will help other parents going through the same type of spells. Thanks.
