Children have different breathing rates. I assume you're asking about resting breathing rate, so this is what I'll discuss. If the child is overweight or obese, the child's breathing rate will be faster and deeper in order to get a sufficient amount of oxygen to the body. If the child is asthmatic, or has a respiratory illness, they too may have deeper breathing at rest. Respiratory distress as you call it may be the child looking pale. They may struggle to breath (wheezing), or breath too often sharply (hyperventilation). You should tell a child who's having breathing difficulty to breathe at you're rate. If they look faint etc, call an ambulance immediately, and prepare to give emergency first aid if they fall unconscious( hypothetically speaking of course). If you believe your child has respiratory issues, see your local Doctor or GP.
The average breathing for an adult is 12 to 20 breaths per minute. The act of breathing consists of two phases, inspiration and expiration.Early signs of respiratory distress include:- increased respiratory rate- flaring of the nostrils- use of accessory muscles of respiration
Respiratory distress
respiratory distress or nausea or vomiting or unconscious or seizing, or unable to stand unassisted
before death, acute respiratory distress causes:-infilatrates on the chest, both sides, while sparing of the costophrenic angles-ratio of PaO2:FiO2 (partial pressure in blood : fraction of inspired oxygen) of less than 200mmHgthe first is determinable by getting an AP xray, the second by doing ABGs.symptoms occur within 24-48 hours

Emergency care is what a person in distress needs. Some needs of a person in distress may be first aid, CPR, ACLS, and others.
