Rocky Mountain Center For Human Development

INTRODUCTION:

Contrary to popular mythology, our ability to learn increases with age rather than diminishes. Only death or senility can put a stop to that ability. Research and observation, however, tell us that a large number of individuals over the age of twenty seem to have stopped learning and growing personally. The problem is, that we have done a very good job teaching people that the only way to learn is in a classroom and we have taught that even in a classroom we only learn if we have:

***** To get a grade.
***** To get a diploma.
***** To get a job.
***** To keep parents happy.

- - -How did we ever create such a situation?

A major goal of the Rocky Mountain Center for Human Development is to provide parents with the information that will help them to create a positive learning environment in their own home and in their communities that will foster continual learning and personal growth. We have created a test of the learning environment in the home that is available online. You can see the test and print a copy by simply clicking here:

ACTIVITY PROGRAMS:

Many individuals do not have a physical activity program of any kind to provide a source of regular physical exercise. This lack of activity can cause mild to severe depression. Many individuals and families have problems that are simply a part of the normal process of growth and emotional maturation in children. One of our programs, Rocky Mountain Aquatics, creates and operates an extensive aquatics-based activity program to help children, adults and families to get involved in stress-free physical activity. Effective physical activity programs for children and teens can prevent problems with gangs. drugs, and poor school performance. For further information on any of these programs call or email us.
