Topic: Gambling by financial dependents. - page 7. (Read 4202 times)

Life is not always the same, when one thinks about someone who is an adult and still lives with parents, they should consider why as well. Everyone keeps instantly thinking about lazy people, but maybe they have some issues? I haven't been with my parents since 18, so I do not know many reasons, but I have seen others who do, and that could very well be very difficult to move out for some people who have issues, this is why it could be very tough thing to deal with.

I hope that people could learn more before they judge. Gambling during that period does seem nasty, but unless they are hurting family money, then they could do it small by small, those people deserve happiness as well, and maybe a little bit freedom, they may need it more than we do.

Indeed, parents can provide financial education to their children so that they can know about finances at an early age and can make them learn about managing their finances. Usually, parents will teach their children to save so that the saving habit can continue until they grow up and get married and teach it to their children, too.

By teaching them the many things they need, parents can hope that their children can live their lives without causing serious problems that could affect their lives. As long as children can maintain their interactions with their friends and choose good friends, they will not be affected by the bad influences of other friends. With the provisions provided by their parents, these children can develop well and live their lives well.

Such education should be started when children are still young so that they can learn it properly and remember it. By getting a good and correct education from their parents, they will know what they can and cannot do. They will also know what will have good and bad consequences for their lives, so they will not try to do things their parents have not taught them, even though they can learn from other places. But if they learn from other places, they can adapt themselves well and receive the lessons well because they have already received the basic lessons from their parents. Hence, they only need to adapt them to the situations and conditions that exist for them. Not many children can get an education or understand everything you mentioned before because each parent is busy working and does not supervise their children properly. Their children finally find out about something from their friends which could negatively influence their lives.

Giving children an understanding not to borrow money for anything is unnecessary unless they have urgent needs that must be met. Children will also understand well that they must be able to provide benefits to the people around them and not those who create difficulties for the people around them. This way, children will know how to behave with their environment and themselves.

He definitely needs to stop gambling. I think someone, financially dependent on someone else shouldn’t indulge themselves in certain activities that would involve spending money periodically.
Being dependent on someone else for money, it’s safe to say that the money gotten isn’t reliable as it could be stopped by whoever it is that does the giving at any time. And a scenario where the dependent is sadly, already hooked on gambling and the source suddenly stops giving. The dependent could likely be easily influenced into other criminal vices in a bid to get money.

He should work and earn his own money if he wants to enjoy activities that involves spending money.

That is the complexity of influencing behavior, especially in young people. Indeed, for some children and teenagers, merely being told about the potential negative consequences of certain actions may not be sufficient to dissuade them from engaging in risky behaviors. There's a natural curiosity and desire for firsthand experience that can overshadow verbal warnings. The stigma or fear of judgment associated with admitting involvement in problematic behaviors can prevent some youth from seeking help or confiding in adults.

The reluctance to disclose their struggles further complicates the situation that makes it challenging for parents, teachers, and caregivers to provide appropriate support and intervention. Early intervention not only mitigates the immediate consequences of risky behaviors but also contributes to long-term academic, social, and personal success. You are absolutely right that proactive measures, such as offering guidance and advice, are essential in preventing risky behaviors from taking root.

It's sad that some children are not convinced not to venture into certain things by mare telling them how irresponsible it is to venture into such a thing or how it could affect them personally so with such people,  they would want to have an experience first then probably learn from it before they will listen to any form of advice that may follow.

I don't think some kids will even let you know if they are already involved in such a habit, it's just best to advice them and for those who are involved already, seek professional help for them so they will be assisted to drop such habit early enough before it becomes something more terrible on them. If they are assisted professionally to drop the habit, they may no longer have that challenge academically.

At the adolescent stage, children are eager to put more pressure on things that interest them or even influence them and this used to be a big issue for the family because at that age, they need to pay more attention to what they do and try as much as possible correct them at every point in time, because a lot of them tend to take actions that are way too dangerous for their age and because of that energy they tend to take too much risk.


Although I will not blame the boy entirely likewise I won't blame the mother for having failed in her parental role and at some point taking the whole blame and result of the child's actions because that act is as a result of environmental influence on the child.

Yes everyone needs money in their life to be able to fulfill all the needs of life and on the other hand gambling is not a place that can give you a lot of money, I understand there are opportunities to win but that doesn't mean you can always win because winning will only happen occasionally when you are really lucky and nothing more than that, the point is there is absolutely no consistency in terms of winning and this is a strong reason why gambling cannot be used as a place to earn and added with the possibility of risks that can occur at any time which will clearly lose your money.

On the other hand, yes that's right, the pandemic situation seems to be a situation where the population of people who turn to gambling increases because of the reduction in labor implemented by several companies making people unemployed while on the other hand the needs cannot be tolerated and this situation makes them try to justify all means to get money and one of them may be gambling, but the fact is that instead of earning what happens is the opposite they actually suffer more.

So, that the basic education and understanding that should be given to children from the time they become adults.
By providing good education about finances and several things related to useful activities in the future, you can build mature character.
I see that not many children are able to have an education, understanding or education about all the things that I have mentioned before so I think that it is very unfortunate that this happens in the current era because in an increasingly advanced and developing era we must also have future generation that is ready for everything in adulthood.
Personally, as father, I will always prioritize direct education and from the time my child reaches adulthood, I will introduce him to business, investment and good money management.
I gambler but I don't want my child to do the same thing his father did in gambling, I want the best for my children.

And the most important thing is to give children an understanding that they should not borrow for anything unless it is really urgent or important.
Loans may be very helpful but they must be based on the right things and are truly useful because borrowing money carelessly without any very important needs can lead to habit of borrowing.
This is an education that is no less important.

I think he needs to stop the gambling game because his Mum now is firefighting the future and knows what's best for him,but if like he said he's gambling from his weekly or monthly stipends given to him by the family,then it's a Good one but he should be discipline with that.
But paradventure he wasn't given any money for the week,what will become of him.this is where it leads us to what the Mum is afraid of with the fact that he will start stealing and sourcing for how he will meet up his gambling game.
What I advice is that the earlier he stop the better for him so he won't end up regretting his whole life for taking such decisions and besides he he's still a student depending on family.

Still, financial education can include positive messages about gambling. Odds and informed selections are essential in personal economics and life. This includes teaching moderation and its risks. The line is thin, yet it may teach if walked properly.

Parents should teach their children to make sensible choices and understand their implications. Our entire view of financial management, including gambling's pros and cons, helps them develop a success toolset. Developing a cautious, adventurous attitude ready to face future problems is key.

Wise parents will provide a good upbringing for their children, including teaching them how to use money properly and not let them be controlled by money. Children will be taught how to increase their money in many ways so that they can try to develop it and have more money. And yes, this will shape the children's character so they can compete with the tough competition they will encounter when the children grow up. If parents cannot understand this, their children will not be able to compete with the harshness of life, even though the harshness of life will always increase along with technological developments and the surrounding environment. Parents can provide adequate knowledge to help their children survive and will not teach them things that could have bad consequences for them because parents have seen what happens to other children. Parents don't want to see their children take the wrong path so their parents will make sure they get what suits their children. Their children will also try hard to avoid things that could have a bad impact on their lives, including not gambling, which could make them forget what they have to do.

Also, not everyone would really be that honest when it comes to their responses even if you would really be trying out to ask your nephew or would really be that confronting about the situation then
he would really be neither be telling the truth or would really be just that trying out to deny. We do know that gambling addicts would really be on such denial on the time that people would be tending to confront
them and this is why it would be always best that telling them or giving out some piece of advises so that at least they are wary on the things that they are currently doing and would
be making out some good suggestions which it would eventually be able to resolve the problem.

Yes, its hard and nothing simple but doesnt mean that it would be that impossible. It is really just that a matter of time whether those individuals
would really be making those realizations or not. It would be always their own call.

Initially it will be very difficult to talk him out of it, because at his age he is so eager to explore, to me what am going to do, is to try as much as possible let him have no  access to spare money, because I already know that if their is spare money on him, it will be channeled to gambling, and When someone cannot fund his gambling harbit, and he puts it on another person shoulder just as this, it will be as if your the one gambling and that alone is an added financial pressure on you, so you guys should do all your best to make that kid understand why gambling is bad for him at his age.

Yes, that makes sense because sometimes the environment really influences a person to gamble and it could be said that the environment supports gambling and perhaps many teenagers are gambling so it doesn't rule out the possibility that the child will get carried away by his friends, but nowadays gambling is not only in the environment if it is gambling that What the child is doing is online gambling, so even if he moves, he will still be able to gamble secretly and his parents will not know what activities their child is actually doing behind their backs.

Not only does he limit his pocket money, but he also limits his social interactions and his cellphone use can be set to block online gambling sites so that he doesn't have access to gamble, and he is also at home for a while and doesn't gather with his friends who might also be gambling, well when At times like this, parents can provide education without having to judge them because if a child is well informed, he will obey his parents' words.

The kids also go as far as to get all the required documents needed to bypass the KYC. Sometimes the parent of the child wouldn't know how their ward got access to a gambler account, despite being a teenager below the gambling age. The computer knows no face, it depends on the submitted credentials, unlike the brick-and-mortar casino where the person can be known to be too young for gambling. In cases as complained by the Op, the child should be brought close to his parents, and share some vital conversations with them. It's not a problem to solve over the phone. However, the overall rate of kids who are into gambling is increasing. Thereby minimizing the difficulty of getting to access to a gambling platform. As parents, following the trends in our ward's life, can be helpful in dealing with the new habits our kids learn outside the home. It's not a hard thing to spend more time with the children, compared to treating them of gambling addiction.

I am not a person who always seeks to have a lot of money or to get rich by playing, that does not suit me because I know what my different abilities are, and I am irresponsible, because playing for the sake of playing just to make more money is not something that has anything to do with it, the Money has to be made by working at it, but in a casino it is not something that is seen as a job that gives monthly or daily income, the risk of lime being taken is not something and you should not and cannot do something like that because the results that will have are very bad.

The people who have tried such risky things, because unfortunately they have lost everything they have, a clear example was when the pandemic began, things were very difficult for many people who quit their jobs, many were unemployed, and that was the most easy? So play and see what you could do to increase your money, some were lucky, but others nothing.

On the other hand I really don't know the reason but I also never had lessons in school about finance or financial management or some good steps to earn money, whereas of course it is a good thing to teach a child about some things about money so that they can really have a good point of view so that they are able to appreciate the value of money and know about the value of money in life, on the other hand everyone needs money and everyone spends time in their work to earn money because this is the only thing that can keep sustaining all the needs so that we can stay alive.

Money is indeed very valuable and everyone wants it, and let's connect this context with gambling, as we know that casinos provide or give everyone the opportunity to win provided that they must be really lucky, and with the opportunity to win where money is the object of victory, this is clearly the main reason why people are involved in gambling, the hope of getting "money" in gambling is the main reason why people are attracted to gambling, they think that by gambling they will be able to get a lot of money to improve their lives, but the situation reverses when they have tried it where you are even poorer, this is the danger if you do not have a rational point of view on gambling.

I wouldn't say that gambling is not a good thing to do, but it is a bad thing to do at that age. We need to differentiate it. Gambling is an adult thing, no one who is below the adult age should do it. Not only that, even if you are such that is above the adult age, gambling is still not good for you unless you've started making money by yourself, and not a dependent. By then, you will be the person who sweated for the money, and if you waste it, you will take full responsibility by yourself. Not that a certain uncle will be earning money the hard way and one niece or nephew will be wasting the money on gambling carelessly, this could be painful.

Even if the uncle earns his money easily, and is also very rich, it is not in their right to be wasting that money, this is so ill and unacceptable in all ramifications. The money for gambling should be the money you have the absolute right to, it might not be as stringent as I had explained above, but it could be the money they gift you as well. You can gamble with it as a dependent, but when it is the money for some special purposes, it is better you use it judiciously and be humane to think that the person works for his money so you do not have the right to spend it anyhow.

A child really needs to be taught about how to manage finances or even we as parents can provide knowledge about saving and investing, this will be very useful in the long term to build the child character so that they can be more responsible about finances in the future.
And as parents, you must be able to provide guidance on how to make the best use of money, such as using money to build business and so on, this aims to instill the attitude of businessman in the younger generation.
After that, we can talk about gambling where we give them guidance that gambling is an activity that they should really stay away from and that they should not have the slightest curiosity about gambling activities.
We also have to give an example that gambling will have bad impact and of course we provide statement that many gamblers start borrowing money to gamble until in the end they experience serious problems, so indirectly we have provided education to children.

Treating will be much more difficult so we have to provide preventive measures from the start and this is much better.

Parents can give their children initial lessons about money but only introduce it to their children. But when children see how their parents use money, they learn it secretly, especially when their parents tell them to pay for what they bought with their parents' money. I saw parents giving some money to their children in the shop and these children gave the money to the seller. Children already know how to use money from an early age, but if children see their parents gambling, maybe they will also learn how to gamble so that they will get used to gambling if there is no supervision from their parents. As parents, we must be careful in this matter so that our children do not become exposed to gambling too early, and they can lose control of themselves because we know that these children do not yet have stable emotions.
