Reducing brain over-stimulation Over-stimulation To help your loved one recover from a brain injury, it's important to help him or her not get over-stimulated. The amount of stimulation your loved one receives will increase as he or she improves. Signs to watch for Signs your loved one may be over-stimulated: How to help your loved one Limit visitors to no more than two at a time. Limit visits to 10 to 15 minutes, unless you are just sitting with your loved one and not talking or doing an activity.
Keep your conversations brief and clear. Give just one piece of information at a time. Do not use your phone when your loved one is in the room.
If you need to use your phone, go into the hallway. If the room phone keeps ringing, talk with a nurse about options. Keep the television, music and computer off unless you know your loved one enjoys it. Limit screen and music time to no more than 20 minutes. I'm also puzzled by the continued references to the "bad ending.
Constance got what she wanted though she changed her mind! As for Sylvia, her actions were foreshadowed by the memory of her father's funeral. She fantasised about lighting the gas then and she does it here, when she believes she has lost everything. Not normally the type of book I pick up but I was on holiday and had just finished the book I was reading and needed another and this was one of four left in the gite in which I was staying. The other three were much too "chick-lit" for me. It was a very easy fun read and adequate enough for a holiday read but I didn't get a great deal of satisfaction at the end.
The story focuses on a new girl starting at a boarding school in the s plus some focus on the personal lives of the teachers.
I don Not normally the type of book I pick up but I was on holiday and had just finished the book I was reading and needed another and this was one of four left in the gite in which I was staying. I don't think the story could work out if it was meant to be a children's book or an adult's book. The schoolgirl segments took up the majority of the story and were in much the same vain and content of a St Clare's or Mallory Towers book that I might have read 20 years ago as a teenager. Intermingled were segments focusing on the teachers - but only on two of the teachers despite others being mentioned quite a bit - and this got into more adult themes of marriage and sexuality.
The good thing about the mixing of children and adult story lines was that you could get a picture of what was happening in different peoples' lives at the same time knowing that the schoolgirls were oblivious to the adult's dramas. There was much too much focus on one particular storyline and I just wanted this done and dusted much sooner and the person to get their comeuppance.
Fine for a holiday read but you may be left feeling a little unsatisfied. Jan 12, Hannah rated it really liked it. This book was a random find in my local library when i was a teenager. It's a grown-up take on the girls' boarding-school story, concentrating on a single term at Raeburn in , where Constance King is the 'new girl'.
Having been sent away while her parents go to work abroad, she hates the school on sight and longs to run away, but soon becomes embroiled in mysterious events there.

The story deals with the common points of the girls' school story - prep, midnight feasts, bullying and friendships - but also looks at more serious issues such as family break-up, sexuality, alcoholism and a sexual assault.
It's very evocative of the time, using 50s slang and 'teen talk', and i've always enjoyed re-reading it. Sep 25, Angie Swain rated it really liked it. A bitter sweet tale of boarding school life in the 's. Constance King is enrolled at Raeburn - which she loathes on sight.
Her father has been seconded to Kenya, she must remain in England for her education. She finds it difficult to be accepted by the other girls and has to learn to negotiate her way through the rituals of boarding school life and her new teachers, all the while feeling betrayed by her parents.
Having survived a critical illness in February , she never quite recovered, and became increasingly disabled. Instead, she finds a ferment of frustrated hopes mingled with excited expectations. Keep the television, music and computer off unless you know your loved one enjoys it. Long light evenings, swimming and tennis, striped cotton frocks. I realise I may be in the minority here, but I didn't warm to her as a character.

It is an intelligent, sensitive tale, very accurate to the period - having been educated during the fifties, I could relate to it completely and it bought back many memories.
May 25, Katie Heron rated it liked it. Great book, terrible ending. I have read other books featuring Constance and am very fond of her. I enjoyed finding out about her early life. May 13, Marilyn rated it it was ok. I found most of this book more suited to teenagers but with a quite macabre strain running through it, and the ending really weak.
