CUSTTAD
WITH MILK OR WATER OR JUICE
The benefits of giving out and sharing food
in caring and companionable circumstances should not be underestimated
In a school CUSTTAD works best as an integral resource within a well structured and disciplined regime
Its effectiveness is further aided in a school which supports
ordered meal times during which teachers and other members of staff
sit with the children
In the earliest phase
of CUSTTAD'S development, feeding was an
important feature of the approach. Much is said in the
book, BALANCING THE REQUEST TO BE
GOOD, about the subject and its perceived symbolic
significance (See
Chapter 28: A Complementary Nourisher)
