Here are some average respiratory rates, by age:

Yes, and if you should ever have to perform CPR on babies or children under seven years of age you just use two fingers to push instead of the palms of the hand.
Some people still will use blowing oxygen into the lungs of the victim (they have recently changed this) and if you should still follow this rule then it's important to give gentle puffs of oxygen and not the more powerful ones given to adults.
Children's hearts can race faster, temperatures can run higher and their breathing can be either rapid or low depending on the child.

The average breathing rate of adults during exercise is 40 to 50 breath per minute.
Because they have a higher metabolism rate and a faster heartbeat. It is also possible that the lungs are not as efficient since they are still growing.

Bradypnea means slow breathing or respiratory rate less than 16 per minute in adults. Usually Bradypnea is less than 12 breaths/min in adults. Normal breathing rate is 12-20 for adults, so 16 is pretty ideal.Bradypnea

The survival rate for children with the more advanced stages is about 75-85%, while among adults it is 40-60%.
Newborns breathe at a much faster rate than adults and even older children. Normal adults take about 12-20 breaths per minute. Most newborns take between 40 and 60 breaths per minute. So if the newborn is breathing faster than adults, that's no cause for concern. But if she is breathing significantly faster than other newborns, then there may be something going on that needs medical attention.
Rescue breathing for Adults is only used in professional rescuer CPR. It is 1 breath every 5 seconds.
Children are growing at faster rate. They need more oxygen for the increased metabolic activities. So the heart rate as well as the respiratory rate of children is higher as compared to adults.
The breathing rate and pulse rate are related proportionally. If the breathing rate increases, so does the pulse rate. The pulse rate is an indication of the breathing rate.
Respiratory rate, which is also called breathing rate, is the same for teens as adults. There should be between 12 and 16 breaths per minute. However, as a child enters later teens his/her resting breathing rate should decrease slightly from what it was in his/her early teens.
