Topic: Can old generation cause the habit of gambling in young generation ? - page 2. (Read 1368 times)

It's unkind of a parent to start teaching gambling cons and pros to his kids. Gambling could be a fun activity, discussing gambling around kids, is quite very early. Would they be able to grow up without participating in gambling? and the fact the child has been lectured about the importance of gambling responsibly doesn't guarantee he would, as an adult. Hence your idea is great, waiting till they grow up is a smart move. The guardian needs to follow procedures. If the child isn't interested in gambling, what importance would it be to teach him gambling ethics? Doing that can send him into gambling prematurely. When not under our watch, he'd make a series of mistakes. Parents who gamble should be able to detect symptoms of gambling in the life of their ward. If discovered, they can initiate the idea of advising him not to make mistakes or gamble irresponsibly. The benefit of following procedures like what I wrote above, is to avoid the anger, agony, blame, and transfer of aggression in the life of our ward.

Because if we abuse the discussion of gambling, and lecture a kid on it, when he grows up, he'll easily learn to blame the parents for being the reason for his addiction, if he gets addicted. And blaming other people only worsens the situation of the child. His emotions and mind would convince him that all he's going through was as a result of his parent's carelessness. Thereby, transferring the aggression to his parents, instead of seeking help, the family will be at war. Parents understand that a few careless behaviors we exhibit to our child can ruin the home when he's grown. So, if you're planning on talking about gambling with a toddler, Pierre, please it isn't worth the stress and mental disorder it could cause him in the future. Allow the child some time to grow and decide where he wants to belong. Then, choose the right moment to inspect his results, then issue advice. Whenever things go wrong, he should blame himself, than his parents. Blaming ourselves helps us to heal; by taking responsibility.  

I don't think there is much we can do to help our young generations. Environmental factor is playing a vital role in your situation. We cannot just make it not exists. If old people are doing something that may cause young people to get involved in gambling then we can try to tell the old peoples. But I  doubts that will make them understand you. The generation gap is here very big and trying to help the children won't do any better. If the elders aren't listening then why would the young would.

That is something that we have to get used to thinking like that, because I am one of those who think that you should Always do things for yourself, not because others tell you so, I lived in an environment in my family where the majority Were engineers and I am but an Environmental Engineer , something very different from the others mentioned in my family, my father is a national guard and my mother is a teacher, for example, it was not one of them that I chose my career, that is why when I am going to think about different things to do, I don't let myself be carried away by what others have done, nor because it serves as an example, good things do have to be taken as an example to be able to do things better and have some judgment, but not everything.

If my mother had told me that I had to be a teacher, I was very sorry, but I would not have studied, because it is not what I like and that is why when I saw certain things that I Disliked , I did not do them and I did not like them. the Consequences Mattered.

I agree with you. If a person had a bad experience because of terrible intuition or their own intemperance, why is it necessary to listen to their negativity. Experience in gambling is gained through personal trial and error; other people's experience is far from always applicable by others

When parents teach gambling to their children, they must be aware that their children can lose control of themselves, especially since they are still children whose psychological condition is still unstable. They will easily become angry when they experience loss, the same as when their wishes are not fulfilled by their parents. His parents can teach them to have self-control, which will also be useful for other things. But parents must remember that a child's personality will be different from other children. Perhaps they can control themselves until they grow up, but who knows?

Parents can only educate them well. And to teach them about gambling, it's best to wait until they grow up and understand the meaning of risk, self-control, discipline, patience, and so on. And if parents want to gamble, they should not do it in front of their children because they are observers who quickly understand what they see. That will trigger him to find out more on the Internet.

Yes, this is very important as a parent role, but telling children about the risks and danger of gambling can only be done when they can understanding it and understand what gambling is. As a parent, you must have a firm attitude toward your children so thats your children don't disobey them in the future, but the point is The main thing is, don't let the younger generation or your children take part in your gambling activities. If you want to do it, do it secretly, don't let your children find out about the gambling activities you use, as longer as they don't know what gambling is, then it will be safe, maybe they can know when they grow up and this is the right times for you to give your child insight into the dangers of gambling for the future.

This is what I mean, I don't want this to happen to my family members because I also want to stop doing this one activity, it's just that there is still a feeling of wanting to gamble so I only limit my gambling activities by playing gambling only once a week, not like I used to gamble every day, and I  always force myself even if I don't have money, I look for money to be able to gamble. but now I have been able to limit my gambling activities to my family too. But now I have been able to limit this gambling activity and this is a good thing for myself. there is nothing wrong with actually sharing our gambling activities with our family too, but this gambling has different perspectives in the family, some can take it well, and vice versa there are also those who take it badly.

I can't imagine what bad things will happen if a family is all fond of gambling, it is likely that they will have economic and financial difficulties quickly they will experience drastic changes where this  change is not a change from negative to positive, but this is a change from positive to negative, and of course I can think that if a family likes to gamble they will experience great losses.

They talk about but do not sound like they are addicted to it. Or are they? It is not in your place to try to prevent the younger generation from it. Rather engage the old people in a conversation during family dinner and ask them how they were able to gamble responsibly after all these years. Ask them what they recommend or advice for any young person who wants to try out this fantasy cricket or any other game. When you have this conversation with them be in charge of if and steer it the direction you want it go. Let them talk about how they deal with winning and losing, chasing losses, budgeting.

So the conclusion is that as long as we are considered older in a family and we engage in gambling activities, it is better to never show these activities to other families so as not to give rise to gambling habits in other family members, including our children.
Because sometimes there a family as the head of the household who ignores the bad effects and gambles in front of the family and their children and creates curiosity and then the whole family tries to gamble and I once knew one family gambled, it was very bad.

If that's already open in the grasp of those young people, it's not impossible that they might find interest in that kind of gambling. No doubt that a portion of those kids will follow  the footprints and will start their way playing or betting with the same gambling activities, we can't remove that fact, people are mostly influenced by the community that they've got.

Seeing and following those old folks when they see the enjoyment residing in them will establish that interest in those kids. It's
need to be careful if you don't want to be blamed or if you don't want to see your kids following that same patterns.

of course everything has an impact, whether it's hidden or not hidden. everyone has their own rights, where they have the choice to carry out their gambling activities to be told openly or hidden, but I prefer to hide it because as I said before I was afraid that my family would be disappointed by knowing my gambling activities. and vice versa, there are also people who openly share their gambling activities with their friends or family, why is that? And vice versa, there are also people who openly tell their friends or family about their gambling activities, why is that because the thoughts that people have are different so there are those who can accept gambling by seeing it not bad there are those who see gambling as bad. here lies the difference. even though my family allows me to do gambling I still don't want to tell them because I don't want other members of my family to follow in my footsteps by doing the same thing where they will follow my gambling activities especially with family members who are not old enough, I don't want this to happen.

And indeed I also do not want the younger generation in my family to be familiar with gambling or even addicted to gambling. it is very undesirable, because as you said even if it is considered only for entertainment, of course the bad effects must exist. so by considering gambling as entertainment alone does not mean that it can cover the occurrence of addiction.

I myself am not married but have a nephew who is still in school, and I don't want this young generation to get to know gambling, let alone get addicted to it. with their habits that can just do what they see, this makes me always hide my gambling activities, because I don't want them to get to know gambling before they are adults, also when they are adults  they will know gambling on their own. and at that time maybe they will have thoughts to tell the gambling they do if they have done gambling in adulthood, and at that time I have to help them not to gamble excessively which will ruin their lives later.

So they have to learn what is best for their lives so that they don't get to know gambling and do gambling so that it makes them addicted which will destroy their lives. and I think the family should pay more attention when they are not yet an adult,  if they are an adult and then let them get to know things outside by themselves it is not a problem.

It's a good idea for parents to teach their children good things, because guidance from parents is very important, even though they will let it go later, but it doesn't hurt if parents teach good things from an early age so that they can determine good things correctly. gambling is not wrong if it is done properly, it's just that many people have become victims of its effects where they respond incorrectly to gambling, and this should be avoided. if you really want to gamble, it doesn't matter as long as you can respond to it properly and correctly.

Although they will recognize gambling at a later age when they are adults, of course the family does not want them to become addicted to gambling so parental guidance is important so that they can determine what to choose later. because it is better to prevent than to cure.

These days kids are more observing and easily grabs what we're discussing. As suggested having these kind of conversations away from kids is really good. Fantasy leagues have been more popular in my country and some people are lucky to win whereas the majority just spend like they're buying a lottery ticket. Surely young generation will follow the footprints, and they're much aware of these applications as they're openly promoted on televisions.

For the most part just keep them away from the conversations.  If it's witholin your own family just tell them to talk about gambling away from your kids.  And yeah if gambling is a heavy part of your family's culture it can definitely get them turned onto gambling themselves.  It's hard either way because of how much kids are exposed to everything because of the internet.

At this rate, If the young ones already know how to play then there is no stopping them from this, but surely they can play for sure  but if they get addicted then it is their problem, and if they do not then it is OK to play a bit, you can not stop the young generations today with playing gambling, and it is still better to prevent them from knowing than to let them have knowledge about gambling,

For sure they will eventually have knowledge about it so for sure getting them a little knowledge and exposing them to little understanding will not certainly hurt them as we all will eventually get to be exposed to it someday, I think it is good for them to get a little understanding about it, and it is  our duty as elders to confirm and eventually teach them about this and not preventing them from anything, they should learn on their own that Gambling has some risk involve and not just about winning, and getting rich,

I am a person who always makes my own decisions and does not depend on anyone so that I can do a special activity, I know that people who have more experience than us can show us paths to follow, or examples to follow, casinos are not It is necessary for them to say it and that thanks to a person we are getting into the habit of going to a casino, on the contrary, I am one of those who think that being in the casino means that things have to be done by one's own decision and not by what tell us, there are many who tell me to do activities, but it doesn't catch my attention, I do what I like and I don't have the need to depend on anyone to do my things.

I live my life the way I want it, there are activities that some friends have taken me to, among them going to drink alcohol every weekend, but that doesn't attract my attention, occasionally social mode yes, but not every weekend During the week, the same thing happens with casinos, I play because I like it and not because someone else does it.

That is all and you have said it all. If one is successful in gambling then he will tell the younger ones that it was gambling that made him to be like that, if there was no gambling he wouldn't make money to that extend and the younger ones in the family will be motivated to join gambling and want to make money like their elder brother.  And with the successful story of the first gambler in the family the elderly ones in the family will not warn the younger ones to abstain from gambling and if they do it will only for those committed religious leaders and family members. Joey was a chronic gambler and he was not careful enough to deal with his gambling addiction.

This is why on the time that we are already becoming parents then we should really be that responsible on the things that we are doing.We cant really just that easily show on things which we do know that it could bring out some impact into our kids growth specially when we do speak about gambling. Im not saying that its bad totally but we know that it is something an activity or thing which it is really that needing to be avoided
specially if they are really that still on young age on which they arent really that matured enough or emotionally prepared for the things that they are dealing with.

Somehow not all things that havent been showed would really means that they would completely be able to avoid gambling because on the time that you would really be that able to encounter
things along the way even if you havent been able to see it into your parents or older people then it is really still that likely you would really be able to engage with it.
There's no way that you could really be able to avoid and everything would vary or depend on the control you do have.

I think this is definitely family matter and families should take care of their kids very closely. I think its not good to force block your kids from gambling. I would rather suggest parents to be accepting, listening and become good teachers. I think parents should teach their kids about how exactly gambling works and its risky points. Gambling is fun activity unless you are addicted to it. I would never scare my kids away but would like to see them with high self confidence.

Every problem has a cause or the root where it originated, and if you know the cause of a problem, you can easily know where to start solving it. Like you have said, the old people in your place are always talking about gambling and the game. Do you expect that the kids will not be interested? Definitely, they will, because young people are usually very inquisitive about something. So, to solve the problem you speak of, prevent the children from being around where those elderly people are talking about gambling.

Kids always pick up whatever they see their parents doing and since as a father I am the first role model  for my kids that awareness maker to always watch my back any time I am engaged in activities that are only allowed for adults and I allow them to just be kids and play around never can I expose or make them know that I gamble and that has helped me a lot,  but notwithstanding,  we can also be the first teacher of our kids but such teaching should come in at the right time when they have attained the age to be able to comprehend such knowledge.
