Things that make him miss you whenever you’re not together
• Love is kind
- Your girly products and clothes around his home.
They may take up a lot of space in his abode; but he knows that they are yours. They serve as subtle reminders of your existence in his life. And it reminds him of how much he misses you whenever you’re not there with him.
- Your cooking skills.
You already know that a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. It proves to him that you are someone who is perfectly capable of taking care of him. And he’s really going to miss your cooking skills whenever you aren’t around. He’s going to miss feeling pampered and taken care of. You spoil him; and it drives him crazy whenever he can’t be with you.
- Your overall helpfulness in his life.
Congratulations if you have actually found a man who is deeply appreciative and thankful for everything that you do in his life. You wouldn’t have to wonder about whether he notices your overall value and effort. But if he’s the kind of guy who just isn’t expressive, know that he really appreciates your helpfulness whenever you’re not around. He grows to realise that he can’t just keep on relaxing because you are always the one who is picking up the pieces whenever you’re there. So, he has to work double-time whenever you aren’t.
- Your hair all over the place.
He might act like he’s so annoyed seeing all of your hair all over his apartment or his bathroom. But watch; all of that annoyance fades whenever you’re away. Know that when you’re not around, he’s going to miss you. And he’s going to hate seeing your hair around his apartment because it’s going to remind him of the fact that you’re not there with him. He’s going to hate the fact that even though your essence is there, your physical presence is nowhere to be found.
- Your physical touch.
There’s always something so calming and endearing about you touching your man. Whether it’s something as simple as the two of you holding hands as you’re walking alongside each other or if you’re just gently rubbing his leg as you’re seated beside each other. He might not really mind it as it’s going on; but he really does love it. And he’s going to end up missing it whenever you’re not within each other’s physical reach. He loves the subtle transfers of love and affection that occur within every single touch.

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.
