Some tips for answering the age-old “how to get an ex back” question if your ex boyfriend needs more space.

- Be a little bit hard to get at first; this shows him that, yes, it was his loss and not yours.  This is a great option for when you’re still in love with him but you don’t want to lose your pride, or to allow him to get the best of you.

- If you think your ex boyfriend still has feelings for you, then you may want to strike up a conversation with him. But keep communication to a minimum … keeps the level of drama to a minimum, too. Short text messages, brief phone calls and online conversations in passing can all remind him how much he wants to be a part of your life without overwhelming him.

- Eventually he will begin to show significant interest in you again if all goes well, and this will give you the chance to truly begin to reminisce with him. Keep in mind that you should focus primarily on all of the good memories associated with your relationship in the past. While rekindling a relationship with your ex boyfriend, you are going to want to stay away from the bad experiences and negative experiences in case they conjure bad feelings and undo your hard work.

- If your boyfriend  fails to respond to slow and subtle advances, take it for what it is. Either he’s just really NOT interested in you or he really just needs space, and you should give it to him. But if on the other hand he seems to be interested in you more than before, or is slowly warming up to you again, then you should continue gradually rekindling the relationship.

- If your ex boyfriend is giving you the right signals, you can try to open your heart up to him. Let him know how you feel, but avoid looking desperate or needy in the process. But if his signals point in the other direction, step back and let things happen more naturally.

These are just the beginning steps in learning to get your ex back. I had a lot of boyfriend trouble until I discovered T.W. “Dub” Jackson’s “The Magic of Making Up.” Having a man’s perspective on how to get an ex back is priceless.

Many children experience the divorce of their parents with relatively minor problems and few permanent negative issues. For others, however, the effects of divorce are long-lived and can be traumatic.

Changes in a child’s living arrangements, schooling, and lifestyle or in the amount of time spent with a parent can trigger anger or fear. When a child cannot adequately express or mentally process those emotions, he or she may undergo problems brought on by stress-induced trauma.

And now researchers in Ireland say these children who are diabetic face increased health risks.

Research carried out by Trinity College in Dublin, according to an online Irish publication, found that children whose parents live in separate households are more likely to experience problems with proper diabetes control.

“When there is a lack of parental supervision, the control and management of diabetes is not good,” Anna Clarke, research manager for the Diabetes Federation of Ireland, told the Herald.ie

She noted that diabetics need careful management of their blood sugar levels.

Diabetics whose blood glucose levels are poorly controlled can develop blindness, heart disease, kidney failure, strokes, poor circulation and other conditions, such as foot infections.

Steps to safeguard your child’s health include:

–Working with the other parent to provide as much security, stability and consistency as possible.
–Making sure you and your children don’t become isolated from your family, friends and neighbors.
–Preparing and eating a balanced diet, with an emphasis on whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Increased fiber in the diet can improve blood glucose control.
–Encouraging physical activity; exercise and play will help to relieve stress and to stabilize blood sugar levels.
–Using stress management tools such as prayer, meditation, deep breathing and other relaxation techniques to improve blood sugar levels.
