As time passes by, kids are growing, and even parents are trying their best. There's still chances that influence from

friends will intimidate. I'm sure as a parent we always wanted our kids to grow in a normal way, but considering all those dangers,
and the surroundings that they might be exposed.

They will develop closeness to someone that might introduce them to the kind of activities that we parents are really afraid,
I agree that screening people that will be surround your kids is also part of good parenthood..

Making sure that our kids have good friends and don't spend time with sketchy people is important, but parents can't control everything in the life of their kids. Eventually they are going to leave the house and make decision on their own. Already in high school children will be more independent and might even have rebellious phase where they won't accept anything from their parents. In my opinion it's best to try and make them understand why there are age restrictions on things like gambling or alcohol. Teaching critical thinking and some scepticism can help in later parts of life too. My parents are totally against gambling and never taught me anything about it. I will do the opposite and be very open about gambling with my kids when they are old enough.

A fascinating question that makes you think carefully. I felt it was hard for me to imagine gambling addiction as a genetic disease or disorder. Nevertheless, the formation of this dependence is influenced by a person's choice, actions, and the lifestyle they lead.

However, I believe that as soon as the love of gambling becomes an addiction, a person needs serious professional help, as if they had an addiction to illegal substances or alcohol.

I honestly also find it hard to imagine that addiction can be inherited. but if you read the description of the op that there have been studies that claim this statement. I believe and I agree that the formation of this dependence is influenced by the choices, actions, and lifestyle of a person especially in this era. everyone has the choice and the intelligence to think in their actions. especially in this case concerning gambling, a person who has the gambling gene from his ancestry cannot be claimed or confirmed that he will become a gambling addict.

Gambling addiction is not a disease or genetic disorder but the result of what we constantly do and are not aware of any changes in ourselves. Gambling addiction is dependence on gambling games and we want to play longer but unfortunately, we use our money to play and don't give many wins if we don't have luck.

If you are addicted to gambling, you need help from other people and we even have to contact professionals who can help us overcome the gambling addiction. But the role of the family will be very important because they are the closest people to us who can supervise and help us to find solutions.

I know we are greatly influenced by the environment we are born into and sometimes become gamblers because of where we find ourselves, i also considered the possibility of gambling being hereditary and found out that it is also possible, that is gambling can be hereditary ,

Quote

Gambling is linked to a gene that is passed on through generations and a new study claims that it is passed on to both sons and daughters alike.

now come to think of it since it is difficult to escape our genetic makeup,
- Would you blame an individual who becomes addicted to gambling because it is wired to his DNA?

-Can their gambling problem be put in check by regular methods?

-Will the addiction be worse than someone who picked up the habit?

Responsible parent will never allow things like this to happen with their kids,

They will do everything to make sure that their kids will be away from this kind of activities, many argument
might come up, but the sure thing in my opinion, every responsible parent will do the best that they can
to avoid things to happen with their kids, they don't want to see them facing difficulties once addiction
triggered their kids.

That's correct and I will never argue with that as a parent. But there will be circumstances when a kid growing up is idolizing some of his friends. It happened to me. We have a clean house, nobody was allowed to smoke. We can play cards but there's no money involved, we use punishments for the loser like putting coal marks on the face of a cousin or sometimes just white powder until his face becomes so funny.
But after all that, I still learned to gamble, smoke, and drink. It's because of friends which is difficult to stop because you don't want your kid to rebel which might worsen the condition.
IMO, it's not genetic, most of the time the environment will dictate.

In my opinion, the fact that you played card games at home as a child may well have influenced your passion for gambling later in life. If I were your parents, I would not use gambling for this kind of entertainment because there are a lot of fun games for company that can bring fun but cannot cause you to get addicted to gambling.

Friends is a big factors in such vices. I can agree with that since I grew up becoming one of them. I've learned gambling a long time a go and I have a friend who is also a gambler, This results me in participating more gambling activities. This is why parenting should involve knowing their child friends or their background for them to warn their kids on not what to copy or do the same as their friends. Depending on your area, You can still do guide your child even they are on an adult age. This age is where vices started coming as law doesn't limit them to do it.

Being responsible or not depends on how the regulations are applied in the country or in the region itself, because each country has its own regulations regarding gambling. So when gambling is legal in that country, then I think children will be free to gamble when they are of age to gamble and parents in this case can be normal. That is, no responsibility is placed on the parents themselves when the state does relieve gambling, but if the parents have their own opinion about gambling then the parents can then act as they should.

I'm of the same opinion but if they have a study and proof that it's really hereditary, there's no way to twist and flip that study case that they've got and the same goes to the proof.

No, it's not about parental responsibility because even if they make great efforts to keep children away from gambling, children very often decide to have their own experiences and start gambling with their peers. The main objective is not to prohibit gambling but to explain to the child that the probability that he will lose his money is higher than the probability that he will win and this is based on the mathematical expectation calculation for each particular gambling game.

That's because a child only sees and imitates what his parents do so it makes us as parents be careful when in front of them. We must be able to set a good example so that they see and imitate it for their future provision. If we can set a good example for them, they will surely understand and be able to distinguish what they can and cannot do. This will also prevent their children from doing something bad when they grow up. Children need the understanding to understand things so this is what makes us have to be able to explain everything properly and correctly.

Parents have their own choices but I am sure that parents do not want their kids to follow what wrong they do or did in their life.
Like if a father takes drug he would beat his son to death if he finds out his son is doing the same. Likewise - if the parents are addicted drinker they would not want their kids to do that, Having gambling trait in DNA is not correct - its a choice.

As much as possible, parents want their children to have a better life, so they try to give their children the best.
But unfortunately, many of their children do not realize it and even misunderstand their parents' intentions.
Maybe this needs further understanding and discussion between parents and their children so that they can accept what the parents mean.
But their children still have their own choices in determining their lives and parents cannot impose their will on their children.

Of course, a person's environment has a very strong influence on him and his habits. It's hard enough to resist gambling when it's all you talk about in your company and every pub in your town has a slot machine. This I know from personal experience. That's why I try not to let my children know that I'm into gambling.

That is a fact and that fact may only be disregarded when that person is somehow strong enough to resist those urges and temptations he's getting every single day as his environment, as well as his workplace, is full of gambling discussions. But in most cases, that same urge will get you curious enough to even try what they are trying to say and in the end, you will find yourself gambling.

Just taking some example on my case when im still studying on college where most of my friends are really smoking which you would really be getting influenced easily and do the same thing if you dont really have that self control on ones self and this is also the case whenever you do expose yourself around with gamblers but not all do easily get hooked up though.

There are indeed people who are really just good on controlling their emotion and mindset and set out restriction whether they would be engaging on it or not.

Yeah, you don't want that to happen someday that your kid will blame you that they've became addicted in gambling because of you. Despite them the ones taking actions and decisions of their lives and when they've became miserable due to gambling, they'll be blaming you as the parent because you did nothing and they'll put the blame on your genes and they've just inherited it. Sounds funny but it could happen because there are people that are just looking for someone to blame for for their misfortune.

That is true, and also a good reason to be careful with who you introduce to gambling, directly or indirectly, because if people you referred have any issues later with their betting behavior, you are the one who is going to be blamed for everything. Funny thing is that even when someone isn't introduced or incentivized to gamble by anyone, they still find a way to avoid their own mistakes by blaming gambling itself!

Yes, much better to be not involved with anyone's interest in gambling because you know what potentially can happen afterward. As you gamble, you understand the concept and possible results when you gamble but for others, you just can't predict what can happen to them and it's unknown.

Quote from: uneng on July 10, 2022, 07:22:25 PM

But after these studies explaining gambling behavior can be inherited, there are serious chances it can become a new trend among problem gamblers to justify their actions and avoid consenting any faults on their side...

Well, they can make use of it as an excuse but effect and result will still show on what type of gambler they are and they just can't blame forever with their own fault.

I get your point. Perhaps you felt pressured and overwhelmed that your surrounding is talking gambling most of the time, hence gave into it because they already influenced you into thinking it is worth trying. I can't blame you. Peer pressure is real and it could really affect someone's decision making which I suppose most of us went through in some part of our lives especially when we were younger.

I guess it's a safe decision to keep it a secret from your children that you are doing gambling most especially if they aren't in the right age yet because it might affect them as well. They might think it would be okay for them to engage in it as well if not guided properly. But I hope you'll educate them about it when they have the capacity to understand it well so they won't be lost if ever they'll discover gambling on their own. It's still best to have awareness and be educated about something. Otherwise it can lead them to harm if there would be lack of information.

Depends on how the person adopts the system, might be true that if the kids don't like to do the same

they can stay away from these activities and find their own path, if they see that there's nothing for them or if they are not
enjoying but in that same sentiments, if those kids see that the parents are enjoying the mindset or the thinking is they can
imitate that just simply following how the parents deals with it.

But most of the time - kids become more smarter and more wiser to decide what to do and what not to..
However - life teaches everyone a great lesson every day. But saying that your are gambler because your father was gambler or you smoke because your father does. Is not correct.

If the head of a family or any other member is involved in gambling, then a new member of that family may be involved in gambling. Because people imitate most of the time for learning. In many cases it may not be. I have seen many people in their family who have never been involved in gambling but have been influenced by friends who are gambler.
