ABSTRACT
Nine-year-old Matthew, recently received into Care, was playing a board game with me in his educational therapy session. The card he picked up demanded an answer to the question “When I need a hug I go to…”. Matthew looked anxious. Then he brightened “I know”, he said, “I won’t need a hug!” This was his solution to a world where adults proved unreliable and unresponsive to his needs.
