What Causes Abnormal Breathing In A Child?

My daughter is 8 yrs old and has started an unusual habit of curling her lips up, parting them and breathing in at the same time. I ve asked her about it but she doesn t know why she s doing it. Now she seems to be covering the gesture with her hands so I don t see her doing it...almost looks like she s smelling her Fingers but she s not. I am concerned that it s becoming a bad habit and dont want others to tease her.
