Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be open, direct, and communicative with your ex. Be respectful. Do not try to interact with a violent or otherwise abusive ex.

Answer: Know that you will have to interact with each other, probably a lot. Break-ups get even more complicated when children are involved. More people’s emotions are at stake, and you cannot simply avoid your ex as you might wish to. Researchers believe that co-parenting is best for children.  Co-parenting involves sharing both time and decision-making, which requires maintaining open and frequent communication with your ex. If it is too difficult to communicate openly and directly, consider passing a notebook back and forth that includes any important information about your children’s time with you. As you make these arrangements, try to maintain amicability toward your ex.  Shouting, name-calling, and other forms of conflict can negatively affect your children and undermine their relationship with their other parent.  You: John, I know this is difficult, but I need you to tell me what time you will be picking up the kids. Him: Stop nagging. I'll pick them up after work. You: I understand that this sounds like nagging to you, but I have things I need to do tonight. Him: Fine, I'll pick them up at six. Take whatever action is required to protect yourself and your children.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be emotionally available. Set and respect personal boundaries. Support your own mental and physical health. Participate in individual or couples therapy.

Answer: Someone with attachment disorder has undergone a great deal of emotional trauma, some of which may still be deeply buried in their psyche. The best thing you can do to support a partner with attachment disorder is to be there for them emotionally, even if you don’t always understand what they’re going through.  Encourage them to express themselves freely, ask questions when you don’t understand something they say, and validate their emotions. This will help your partner trust you. Say things like “I want to know how you are feeling right now?” or “You seem upset…Talk to me about that.” It takes clear communication to maintain a relationship with a person who has attachment disorder. You and your partner likely perceive some things in very different ways. Certain behaviors of theirs may be hurtful or upsetting to you, and vice versa. Talk with your partner and establish boundaries for which behaviors you’re comfortable with in your relationship and which you aren’t. Setting personal boundaries shouldn’t mean that you and your partner never work to grow beyond your current emotional state. To maintain a healthy relationship, the person with attachment disorder will have to face their issues and learn to trust others at some point. However, don’t try to force your partner into this – they must be ready and willing to work on the issue themselves. Being in a relationship with someone who has attachment disorder can be emotionally exhausting at times. To keep your stress levels low, take time for yourself regularly and work on maintaining your own health. Eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, and staying away from drugs and alcohol can help keep your emotions on an even keel. Even if you don’t have attachment disorder yourself, therapy can help you understand your partner better, learn strategies for effective communication, and work through your own emotions about your relationship. If you attend couples therapy with your partner, a therapist can help you identify negative patterns in your behavior with each other and find ways to avoid repeating those patterns.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Don't drag your feet. Talk in person. Be straightforward. Be respectful.

Answer: If you're sure you want to call off the engagement, do it as soon as possible. Even though it might be scary, it will only cause more harm to your partner if you put it off. You should never break this kind of news to someone over a text message or email, no matter how nervous you are about the other person's reaction. As hard as it may be, the right thing to do is to have an honest face-to-face conversation with your partner. A phone call is better than a text or email, but a face-to-face conversation is still preferable. It's important to be upfront with your fiancé(e) about why you don't want to go through with the marriage and what you want the future of the relationship to look like. If you never want to see your partner again, don't say that you might be able to work things out down the road.  There's no reason to bring up every disagreement the two of you have ever had. While you do want to give a reason for the breakup, don't go overboard with a laundry list of complaints. Make sure to give your partner the opportunity to ask questions, and always answer them sincerely. When it comes time to tell your fiancé(e) that you don't want to get married, it's important to be as tactful as possible. You want to make the breakup as easy for both of you as it can be.  Never yell or call your partner names when breaking up. Even if you are calling the relationship off for good, there's no reason you can't acknowledge that you will miss your partner. Depending on the situation, you can even explain how much your relationship meant to you.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid stimulants like caffeine. Eat fewer sugary foods. Eat foods without artificial coloring and additives. Consume foods high in omega-3 fatty acids. Stop smoking. Talk to a nutritionist.

Answer:
If you find that you have too much energy during the day, you may be consuming some form of a stimulant.  Try to reduce your coffee intake. This is the most popular stimulant used by adults. You may think that you need your morning coffee in order to power through the day. Chances are, if you feel really hyper throughout the day, you may be overloading. Try cutting back on your coffee. Go from 3 to 2 cups a day and see if there is a change. If you are more of a tea drinker, do the same for tea. Caffeinated sodas can also be the culprit. Reduce the amount of soda you drink in a day. Drink water instead. Eat less chocolate. Just like with coffees, teas, and sodas, chocolate won’t necessarily lead to hyperactivity, but it can certainly give you a rush of energy that may be interpreted as such. The primary concern with sugars is that they get into your bloodstream quickly. So if you eat a lot of sugary foods, you are constantly feeding your body a source of quick-burning energy. If you normally get really hyper after lunch, reduce the amount of sugar you take in at lunch. See if this helps. Many parents and medical practitioners agree that lab created colors and additives may lead to slightly higher levels of hyperactivity in children. There is no definitive study that points to artificial coloring or additives as a cause of hyperactivity. Studies that do exist rely on subjective findings, in part, because they have to rely on parents to describe the changes in their own children. Other opponents point to the fact that most food items with artificial ingredients are also loaded down with sugar. The stimulant sugar may be the cause of the increased hyperactivity. Eat a lot of fish, like salmon and tuna. Many leafy green vegetables also contain fatty acids. These fatty acids facilitate the transfer of neurotransmitters in the brain. When your neurotransmitters function improperly, it can cause hyperactivity and loss of concentration. Oftentimes, omega-3 fatty acid deficiency and ADHD are mistaken for one another. Since your body cannot create these fatty acids, it is necessary for you to include them in your diet. Since nicotine is a stimulant, you may be getting an unneeded energy boost during your smoke breaks. Try skipping cigarette breaks at points in the day when you might otherwise feel hyper. If the above steps don’t help to alleviate hyperactivity, see a nutritionist. They can examine your particular diet and then suggest specific alterations to help your hyperactivity, energy crises.
