In my experience many children, who in their pre-school years have breath-holding spells, later have other kinds of difficult behaviour (ADHD and ODD for example). Therefore it doesn't make sense to compare parenting a child with breath-holding spells with control children as if all other behaviour of the two groups were equal.
