Building upon the philosophical insights of Martin Heidegger and Gaston Bachelard, this chapter delves into the essence of what it truly means for human beings to have a home and inhabit it. It explores how this understanding can shed light on the experiences of children who are removed from their homes and transferred between various child welfare institutions. In conclusion, the chapter advocates for a humanistic approach that recognises the existential meaning of having a home. By embracing this perspective, the author argues, we can develop a practice that is better suited to providing the necessary support for children who can no longer live in their childhood homes.
