Things that make him miss you (final)
Young couple enjoying piggy back ride on sunny day. Smiling man and woman are spending leisure time in city. They are on vacation.
- Your overall chattiness
Whenever you’re together, he acts as if he is generally annoyed and ends up rambling about something he’s not even the least interested in. He acts as if he just wants you to keep quiet and give him peace. However, when you’re not around, he misses hearing your voice. It’s scientifically proven that males generally tend to find comfort and joy in hearing the voice of a woman. And when he doesn’t hear her voice for a while; it stresses him out.
- Your kisses
Of course, one cannot rule out the physical and emotional significance of a kiss. It’s a very endearing form of physical intimacy that all modern couples incorporate into their daily lives. Sometimes, couples can take their kisses for granted. Sometimes, he can take your kisses for granted. And he’s really going to end up missing your kisses whenever you’re not around. He’s going to miss that physical manifestation of your shared love and affection for each other.
- Your general thoughtfulness
Whenever you’re together, he loves the fact that you’re always so thoughtful. He appreciates the fact that you are always thinking of him; regardless of what you might be doing. You are always looking out for his best interests even when he fails to do so for himself. He knows he can always count on you to be there for him because of how dedicated you are to his overall happiness and comfort. And when you’re not around, it’s as if he has to pay extra attention to his own needs.
- Your absence
One thing that REALLY drives a man crazy is your absence. It’s as simple as that. Sometimes, a person doesn’t fully appreciate what one has until it is taken away from him. And if he’s REALLY feeling your absence, then you know just how much you really mean to him. He wants you to always be there for him; but he really feels your impact on his life whenever you’re not around. It’s when you aren’t there that he really gains a better appreciation of what you add to his life.

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.
