Message from the Creator

Gerald M Rich, PhD, LMFT

Creator, Centsible Scholar

I am a licensed family therapist and for the last 30 years much of that time has been advising parents and their children how to improve their performance, especially academic and behavioral performance. We are what we think and what we do. In that vein, we can make good habits or bad habits; the choice is yours, as a parent and an individual. The Centsible Scholar program is designed to direct, guide and support healthy, productive habits in the family.

Have you ever consider school to be a primer for the workplace? It is most certainly. School is the children's workplace, a primer to their own [future] workplace and a primer to life in general. School replicates the work life of most parents' 40 hour work week, with assigned tasks, goals, objectives and performance evaluations.

Moreover, it is estimated that the cost of raising a child from birth to age 18 is between $250,000 to $500,000, upwards of $1 million or more for college. That is a lot of money that could be used for motivation rather than teaching entitlement. The Centsible Scholar program suggest a carefree childhood through grade 6; thereafter preparation for life should begin in earnest. This demarcation is consistent with child development theorists as is our reward program. Thus, this is a researched based program.

Our family coaches will be available for telephone consultation by appointment. We want to personally support you and your child's academic and behavioral excellence.
