scenting the air for fresh cotton linen scent if I was sitting next to a person who did not shower
Without wishing to stray off topic, there may be a need to mention that some individuals are highly allergic; I worked with an individual who although freshly showered could not utilize deodorants or antiperspirants. Apple cider vinegar may be a natural substitute for some individuals. Spraying any scent around this highly allergic person was not allowed due to severe negative health impact.

Anything that is a negative now could end up being a huge positive in adulthood. Remember all of these stages are temporary. A sensitive child could be the next huge designer, perfume inventor, artist and on and on. You are not alone. It is very difficult to parent a gifted / highly gifted child. It takes a lot of energy.
Well said! smile
