Jaime- If you want your daughter to live a life full of valuable experiences then it's important that your daughter learns to work with her allergies instead of hide from them. That said, if just the smells cause an allergic reaction then she has very severe allergies indeed. I would talk to your pediatrician about the best way to introduce her into new social settings so that she's completely safe and well provided for. It will also be important to work closely with the school administrators and staff so they know what the allergies are and what to do if something goes wrong.
