Topic: Can old generation cause the habit of gambling in young generation ? - page 11. (Read 1368 times)

As someone already mentioned, healthy communication is so important when it comes to getting kids to focus on school instead of games.  What I've found works is to set specific times that they're allowed to play - maybe after homework or only on weekends.  Making those rules clear upfront stops the arguing later. It also helps to talk with them about their goals and dreams and how getting a good education unlocks opportunities. 

The key is explaining it in a way they relate to, not just barking orders to study more.  And also realizing some gaming in moderation is normal and ok too.  I think it's all about balance.

There's nothing wrong with this, it's a healthy relationship if they are open about their individual achievement and their passion for one game

It depends on the age of the children if they are very young their fertile minds should not be exposed to something that will hinder them from focusing on the most important things in life, if the youngster can easily understand and he is nearing maturity you can talk freely in front of them provided that you will explain the positive and negative effects of what they are doing, its better that the elder in the family will be the one to explain this, than learning this outside of their homes, which will put them at risk.

It can contribute for young generation to have an interest on what they are participating since constant discussion towards cricket fantasy games will create a curiosity on their side and provably young people in your family would provably try it so that they can also discuss their experiences to their old family member. And once they enjoy it either they would have a lot of fun with it or worst they get addicted then can't control their daily habits.

If you are worried about your young generation of family might experience the worst then its better to guide them up and open their minds about harsh reality of gambling so they could pay attention with it. Also don't push them to stop because you don't like it since you will just create a separation with them since for sure they will not follow you. Just make them realize that this is expensive way to have fun and for sure once they get enough they are the one who decide to quit.

I have always said this that it is not right for older ones discussing about gambling in the presents of the younger ones or their kids because gambling could be an addiction and could ruin ones life who is not in charge of its emotional being at a depreciation or appreciations period of times.

Younger people nowadays are fast adopting and
quite enhancing to their endivoirs more than the older people whereas, they could adopt gambling uncontrollably and unconditionally with the eagerness of all to make money through it.

When I was growing up I met my dad being a womanizer and I grew up hoping to be like him too because I feels it is a good habit to be inherited.
I am still dependent to my parents yet I have got multiple girlfriends already then my dad shamed at me and asked me to let go such unprofitable lifestyle. It was then I told him that he should be proud of me because I am his image living after his legacy.

This is absolutely the effects of being loosed to the kids because they are fast learning most especially to unproductive engagements.

So I would ask every gambling parents not to learn in controlling their gambling experiences and not even the exciting (winnings) is Worth sharing in the midst of the kids because they have fragile and a sensitive abilities in adopting manners and lifestyles.

Don't talk to the young people, talk to the old ones to stop doing that in front of them. I bet they should understand it more especially if they also have kids of the same age.
By talking to the kids you are just wrecking their innocence about the fantasy game. It's better if they know nothing about it.
But if it's too late then might as well keep them away from those old people that you said are playing it, maybe that way you could at least avoid them from getting attracted to it.
Sports is already a fun game for the kids because of it's competitive spirit. Kids don't need to put a bet to enjoy watching them so it will be better if they stay away from gambling. If they are your kids, you might as well keep checking their phones too while they are asleep and that's when you talk to them when you find out they are into gambling.

I don’t see any problem in loving a sport and talking about it a lot. Members of your family obviously like the sport and talk all about it within themselves.

Yes, there is a good chance that the younger ones in your family could also feed off the enthusiasm of other family members and could begin to love, watch and discuss about the sport as well. I still fail to see a problem there. There’s also a possibility that the younger ones won’t develop much interest. You yourself don’t seem to share in their enthusiasm that much.

Having an interest in the sport and taking about it doesn’t mean other aspects of their lives would be neglected. While studying is undeniably still very important, it’s also fine and healthy even to indulge oneself in leisure and other fun activities.

It depends to a child if they want to be like one of their seniors, I believe that being involved in a gambling or gambling addiction is not hereditary but it can be pass to the younger generation because of the exposure of a child to that kind of activity which is really not suitable for their age. Kids are curious in everything, they have a habit that what they are used to seeing, they will do until they grow up.

This is going to be a problem as you can't stop the younger family members in your family from associating with the older guys but what you can do is to talk to the older guys to be careful of what they discuss when the younger family members are around. Let them understand that they're impacting the ideas to want to try what they're discussing about and it can have a negative impact on their life as they'll start picking interest in gambling from a very young age.

Also take time to educate the younger family members so they understand the effect of gambling and let them know the negative effect more and that gambling shoudn't be considered a career path in life but as a means of entertainment that should only be done with spare money. If you put this idea in them, they'll grow up not been interested in gambling and the discussion by the older family members won't have an impact in their life. We should be careful of our environment as they affect us always.

Being concerned itself alone shows that you are reasonable and wise at the same time, older people should be sensitive and cautious about the younger ones around them, it goes a long way in inculcating good habits in them rather than being a bad influence in their lives. Good or bad, what young people start learning at an early age might be difficult to let go of when they are old, it might become part and parcel of them as it's part of their foundational life.

My advice for you is to first let these young people know the difference between gambling and gaming (casual). If it's being done without any money involved, there is nothing bad about it, it's just gaming and playing. But if money is involved, they should know that it's not a good thing for the persons of their age. Let them know only the bad side of gambling and the danger therein. But most importantly, if money is involved in any gaming activities, you older people should never let the younger ones know about it if they are not of adult age. This is applicable to both offline and offline activities.

Our ancestral gambling attitudes does not get transferred to us in this our generation because gambling is a physical entertaining event that is not genetically related or transmittable from one generation to another, so when our own parents are gambling, we cayb choose to be a gambler or not, this is our own decisions, also if they gambles but we were raised in an environment that does not permit for gambling, we may not have like on gambling, because the environmental influence also contributed alot about gambling because we often see it around us.

Do you believe parents are role models for the younger generation? The younger generation will absorb and follow what is in their environment, including the habits of their parents. So parents need to set an example and be a good role model for their children, especially as the younger generation you mean is still at an early age. Teach them to be responsible individuals, you can do this to prevent them from listening to their parents' conversations discussing cricket betting or sitting with them watching matches on television.

Assign responsibility to them in all areas related to their daily lives, you can also ask them to focus more on their studies. Build communication with them by asking about their daily lives, including the field of study they are currently pursuing. If necessary, offer them a small prize if they get the best grades at school, in this simple way they will be more motivated because they get support for what they are doing.

Firstly, you have to understand that Cricket is a game, except for the gambling approach given to it which is somewhat vague in your OP.

Taking part in games isn't bad, its part of the exepcted curriculum of schools, however, you have to explain this to the younger guy and let him know that he must have his education prioritised over the cricket games while growing up but also be careful as you may not want to waterdown his interest, in cases where playing cricket as a carrier is the person's destiny, be careful enough not to kill entirely the passion the person has for the game.

You'll have no way on stopping them if it's the talk in your family. But if you can change the attention of theirs by having some other things to get introduced to them. Then that's possible that you'll revert the attention of the younger ones into the things or hobbies that you're going to tell them.

So, it's all about distraction and it will depend on how interesting is the activity, story or anything that you're going to say to them. Because if they don't find it attractive and they're just going to give you an idea that they don't like to listen to you, you just have to give it up and despite being concerned on them, you did your best but they've chosen what they want to hear.

      -  There is another topic here in the gambling section: you shouldn't show children how you play gambling online so that they don't imitate you as much as possible. This is what others do, so as much as you can, don't show it, and even if you keep it a secret from them, you should also explain that gambling is not good for children like them.

So, I think this is the best solution to the topic you made, mate, as long as you can do it secretly so that minors don't hear or see it so they can focus properly on their studies.

The older members of the family can explain to the younger generations about the game they are playing if there's constant communication between the family I don't think there will be any problem at all as long as they limit their exposure to this type of game which may lead to gambling.

If the children have respect for their elders and they are taught the values of the most important thing in life and what they should prioritize I don't think there will be a problem when they are growing up being exposed to this type of game.

Let us get this right. The old men are playing cricket game for fun or they are using it to gamble? But let me assume that you mean that they are using it to gamble because if they are just playing the game for fun, there is nothing bad for your child to also know some things about sport in life, not everything is about studying, life is also about exposure.

If the old men are using it to gamble, the only thing that you can do is to encourage your child, let him know what gambling is and how some people can be addicted. Let me tell you something, the problem is not about gambling, but about addiction. Just always advise your child how gambling can lead to addiction and what can come out of addiction.

You advise will let him know not to waste money on gambling and the child may likely even not gamble and if he later gamble, he will still remember your advice not to get addicted.

You may try to explain how gambling works and how it makes people poor in the long run but it is up to this fella if he will listen to your words or follow the actions of his older family members. In the end he will do what he is gonna do. He may even get angry and call you a boomer if you overdo it. If you really like this youngster you need to be smart about the words you choose. If he has the smarts, he will get what you are trying to tell him and realize how dumb his parents really are which will bring a whole new set of problems.

You can invite the younger generation in your family to do other things while the older generation gathers and talks about their appearance. You don't need to be confused about this because what you need to pay attention to is the younger generation in your family. As long as the younger generation in your family is busy and keeps themselves busy doing these things, it seems safe for them not to get carried away by those things.

Indeed, sometimes the younger generation begins to be interested in taking part in conversations with the older generation. But if their parents remind them to do things the way they usually do, they will quickly abandon the talk of the older generation. Maybe you can tell the older generation not to talk about games and gambling too often if the older generation is around. This is to prevent the younger generation from getting carried away with the conversation.

Everything needs to be discussed carefully between you and the older generation. At least, that's what my extended family does, especially when there are things that our younger generation shouldn't listen to. And so far, it has worked so I suggest the same to you.

If you must secure them when the discussion begins you can asked them to limits their discussion since is affecting the life's of young people, go directly to those old men or old generation as you said to reduce their discussion not to infects or poisoning the heart of those young people. As an educated individual you are always protect them and make sure they don't involved in a discussion with those old men otherwise they might gets affected, then sometimes it all depends on personal interest whomever that doesn't have interest for gambling may not pick up interest and to look into their discussions.

The first point of stop is for the parents to desist from discussing and disclosing their gambling habit to their children. Such parents should learn to live responsibly and understand that parenting is something important. Whatever you do around the kids, they pick on it easily.

You can't have children in the house and you expose them into what they are not yet ready for because they might even be learning and practicing in it in a more dangerous way. Okay just imagine where the child gets hold of his father's phone while he was still logged in to the gambling app and the child bet on the total balance in the account and it was lost  Probably you have $100,000 on the account.

Wrong exposure can be bad for children.
