A good man would never do these things (final)
- The good guy makes an effort to hear whatever you want to say.
The good guy is going to listen to you whenever you want to talk or express something. But the narcissist is only ever interested in what they have to think or say about anything. He won’t listen to you, especially if your views contradict his own.
- The good guy has no problems with apologising when he’s in the wrong.
The narcissist will believe that he is always in the right, and he will never apologise. The good guy acknowledges his faults and owns up to them.
- The good guy is going to spoil and pamper you.
The narcissist is too busy caring for himself, and he has no time to take care of you. But the right guy is always going to put your well-being and happiness above his own.
- The good guy is humble.
He is always going to be humble. A narcissist isn’t going to be afraid to boast of his achievements – however big or small. A narcissist is insensitive, and he would willingly say anything to put other people down just to lift himself. But a great guy is humble. He knows his place in the world, and he knows he has his limitations.
- The right guy will spread positive vibes wherever he goes.
The narcissist is always going to bring about negative energy when interacting with other people. He will try to put other people down. He will make himself look good, but will do his best to make others look bad.
- The good guy doesn’t use emotions as a tool for manipulating you.
The right guy will always be mindful of your feelings. He is sensitive and cares about your state of emotions. But the narcissist is going to milk whatever he can out of you. He will capitalise on your weaknesses to get what he wants.
- The good guy is going to open your eyes to what it means to fall in love.
When you get into a relationship with a good guy, he’s going to be able to make you see what it means to fall in love for real. And it will be like nothing you have ever known.

HIV Infection: Health Director Cautions Adolescents and Couples Against Unhealthy Sexual Behaviours
Mr. George Agyemang, the Acting Wenchi Municipal Director of Health in the Bono Region, has cautioned adolescents to refrain from engaging in unprotected sex and having multiple sexual partners.
He said HIV infection was recording alarming figures in the municipality and urged couples to remain faithful and avoid extra-marital affairs to protect themselves against new HIV infections.
Mr. Agyemang gave the advice while speaking at the 2026 review meeting of the directorate at Wenchi on the theme: “Stakeholder’s Engagement and Efforts in Achieving Universal Health Coverage.”
He revealed that the municipality currently has 2,153 persons living with HIV and AIDS, with the HIV and AIDS prevalence standing at 2.5 per cent, ranking it the second highest in the Bono Region.
Mr. Agyemang further indicated that HIV infections do not discriminate, noting that people who engage in promiscuous lifestyles expose themselves to the virus. He urged those who could not control their sexual desires to always use condoms.

As a parent, receiving news that your child has special needs can be overwhelming. The journey ahead may seem daunting, but with the right support and strategies, you can help your child thrive.
According to Dr. Bruce F. Pennington, a renowned psychologist and expert in developmental psychopathology, “Parents are the most important agents of change for children with developmental disabilities” (Pennington, 2009). This emphasises the crucial role parents play in shaping their child’s future.
Every child is unique, and special needs come in many forms. Whether your child is on the autism spectrum, has ADHD, or another condition, understanding their individual strengths and challenges is crucial. Research suggests that parents who focus on their child’s strengths and abilities tend to experience better outcomes and higher levels of well-being (Hastings & Taft, 2015). Take time to learn about their diagnosis, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. This knowledge will empower you to make informed decisions and advocate for your child’s needs.
Embracing the Journey: Understanding Your Child’s Unique Path
Establishing routines and structures can help your child feel more secure. Break tasks into smaller, manageable steps, and use visual aids to communicate.
A study published in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders found that children with autism who followed a structured routine experienced reduced anxiety and improved social interactions (Gioia et al., 2018).
Do not be afraid to seek professional help from Counselor Prince & Associates Consult (CPAC) when needed, whether it is occupational therapy, speech therapy, or counselling.
Building a Support Network: You Are Not Alone
Parenting a special child can be isolating, but it does not have to be. Reach out to support groups, online communities, CPAC, and local organisations that cater to families with special needs. These networks can provide emotional support, practical advice, and valuable resources.
Dr. Jan Blustein, a leading expert on family support and autism, notes that “social support is a critical component of family well-being” (Blustein, 2012).
Practical Strategies: Navigating Daily Challenges with Ease
Focus on your child’s strengths and abilities, and encourage them to pursue their passions. This positive approach will help build confidence and self-esteem. Celebrate their achievements, no matter how small, and acknowledge their efforts. By doing so, you will create a nurturing environment that fosters growth and development.
Celebrating Progress: Focusing on Your Child’s Strengths
As you embark on this journey with your special child, remember that you’re not alone. Seek support, prioritise self-care, and focus on your child’s strengths. With love, patience, and the right resources, you can help your child thrive.
