Why Verbal Conditioning Kills Generations Of Kids

We as humans tend to learn best from those closest to us and those who raised us its called verbal conditioning. If our mom says vitamin D is bad we will grow up believing vitamin D is bad. If our dad said the only way to get successful with stocks is to cheat or “know somebody” then that’s what we would believe. It’s called Verbal Conditioning and it’s a More common than the common cold, It’s more sneaky than a thief in the night and it does more damage than a Pacific Ocean Typhoon.

Verbal Conditioning is a kind social influence that we receive subconsciously receive from those most around us. It can come from your mom, dad, the television, or friends and other relatives. What you are custom to while you’re young is what you will act out when you’re older and when it pertains to money 9 times out of 10 you have been programmed the wrong way. Let’s go through why your success and motivation is low and then look at some ways you can overcome the past verbal conditioning you received as a child.


One thing I know for sure is that future success derives from the thoughts we have today. If I’m not thinking right my results and motivation will severely suffer. This is where verbal conditioning hurts the most. If you came from a middle to low class family you know what its like to struggle. You’ve seen your parents try and try again to make ends meet but for some reason the ends kept getting further and further apart. This is what you were used to seeing and this is how you will behave when you get older because its all you know.

Now before we go any farther lets go back to those parents of yours with the divorcing ends. When it comes to verbal conditioning it is easily explained like a virus that effects generations and generations of a family. Emotions are something that we learn early on in life. One of those emotions are love, we really learn to love our family. We learn to love our family so much that we trust almost every judgement that they make whether good or bad. How many times have you heard someone say, “I don’t care if you’re wrong or right you’re family so we’ll stand by you no matter what”. That’s the way life is you love your family and you’ll listen to them and stand by them no matter what. With this close knit community you can pretty much see how one bad thought can quickly ruin a bunch of minds.

When your grandparents got off on the wrong foot financially, it was because their thought process was not right. They had the wrong view of success, wealth, motivation, and society. Maybe they thought the rich were greedy pigs. Or maybe they thought it was impossible to get rich. Or maybe they even thought being rich was against their religion. Whatever the reason it was definitely a poor way of thinking and this negativity can bruise a child’s mind greatly.

Now at one point your parents were young, vibrant extremely energetic little kids who were very curious and wanted to learn anything at all costs. The people that surrounded them more than anybody else were their parents (your grandparents) and this is where your parents become programmed and verbally conditioned.

As we stated earlier your grandparents already have the wrong view of wealth, and success and who do you think this negative behavior passes down to. You got it! Their kids. But wait, their kids are your parents.

That’s how the virus is spread from one generation to another. We learn from those we love the most as a kid. And as an adult we teach our children what we think is right with hopes that they will believe the same is true and pass the info down to their kids. Verbal Conditioning! If my mom said it’s true then it must be true. Wrong, because of this saying.

“You cant look at a poor person and expect to learn how to get rich….unless you study what he’s doing and do the exact opposite”.

This holds truth with your parents. If your parents were financially unstable you cant listen to the BS that they feed you, because you’ll end up just like them. What we fail to realize is that this verbal conditioning is a process that starts from day one. When we see our parents constantly spending with no boundaries, we believe that’s OK. When we hear that its a bad thing to be wealthy because money will make you evil, we believe that because we don’t want to look evil in our parents eyes. We might no how to achieve wealth but because our emotions have been geared towards incorrect methods of achieving and sustaining wealth we go against whats logical and proceed to side with our emotions. And if our emotions are pushing us towards negative thoughts of poor verbal conditioning I would definitely tell you to stop take a step back and think.

  • Are you getting money legally?
  • Can you help your family if you’re wealthy?
  • Do you plan on using your wealth for other good causes?
  • Are you tired of saying “We can afford it” or “Maybe next year”?.

If you can answer yes to these questions and questions similar to those above, then I would seriously suggest that you throw out all information you were taught about wealth and success and begin a new journey towards getting rich. What you want to do now is reprogram your mind to think positively in terms of success and wealth.

Recognition:

Here is the point where you need to write down every single bad, negative and stupid remark you heard about wealth, money, riches, rich people, and success. you need to do this so that you will know what you need to change and what is holding you back from success.

Agree:

By coming to terms where these statements began it will be easier for you to focus on a solution. Write down how feel these statements affected your financial existence so far.

Disconnect:

Now that you know the verbal conditioning you received in the past is not what you truly believe, you can begin to disconnect from that old way of thinking and begin focusing on who you are as an adult and who you want to be in the future. Look at it like a computer file. All these years it has been packed with wrong and misleading info until some genius came along and realized it,so he erased everything and started from scratch so he could do it his way…the correct way. Write down what you believe in today. also write down your future goals for success, money and wealth.

Reprogramming:

Now that we have erased all of that old information out of our systems we can begin the process of rebuilding our financial mind. You can do this in many ways for starters I would suggest reading and printing out articles from VictoryBlogger and going over the covered topics with friends you can trust. Not only will this be fun, but you both will learn how to be more successful and build wealth at the same time. You could also read books, attend seminars, take classes at your local college on finance. Whatever you do please make sure that it is positive in regards to your goals the you specified.

Wealth and success can be yours but if you let verbal conditioning keep you down you will be stuck fighting the same fight, seeing the same results for the rest of your life. Wouldn’t it just be easier to change the way you view wealth and become successful and rich today!

Share with us some of the phrases you heard while growing up that you see were clearly negative verbal conditioning.

    Very interesting article. I think one of the things I fear most about raising my kids is passing my views onto them. I want them to be educated and make up their own views. Maybe from reading this article I can recondition myself and therefore they won’t learn what I learned from my parents!! I am rambling!lol! It was a very good article!
