Topic: Never gamble in front of your kids. - page 12. (Read 12692 times)

There are some gambling that are boring for children, but there will be some gambling like slots that have the potential to make children addicted. I think young children don't know about money and winning. But if he is interested in the game in gambling then there is a possibility that he will try to play it and spend his parents' money. This is the same as loot or spin in online games. My friend once told me that there was a child who spent thousands of dollars from his parents' credit card because he wanted to get skins or weapons because in the game. I think it is better for children not to know gambling. And it is better if the child is a teenager, it would be better for parents to never show that they are gamblers. Not everyone has good emotional management to not get addicted to gambling.

You think there are people who still hide themselves for their lost in gambling? Well this could be true but to me i don't see any reason why someone should hide himself after making lose in gambling, and at least they should be open to understand that when they got addicted it could be very hard to control but when it's open and people knows there situation even though it's getting worse their fellow could knows and take immediate effect to restore them.

And of course people don't always want to show their lose especially it's showing a bad misrepresentation and this could also discouraged other people from getting into gambling and this act we shouldn't gamble in the front of our children due to all these things.

In short, gambling chooses no one and everyone is prone to the addiction that it can bring. Both can be addicted to gambling without noticing it and even as adults, we've seen stories in real life and in the forum that many of them have became one and can't help themselves upon containing it.

Greed is our worst enemy and as well as fear. Why fear? because when we're having bad results, we fear that people will look upon us as someone who's not impressed with what they see to us. We only want to show people about winning but not losing. And when you're the type of guy and a gambler and you don't want your kids to see bad things, you need to be a perfect example to them. Teach them other things instead of gambling and they'd embrace life having a better perspective instead of only wanting to see good things but of course, it's a different story if it relates to gambling.

If the parents will be poor on emotions during gambling and dont show much of excitement, will it help to decrease interest to gambling from kids? If parents show it as a boring, repeated and exhausting activity, I think that kids dont want to try it. I think a lot matters from age. If a very young kids see parents gambler, they might show some interest, but due to game being complicated, they wont give much attention to it and most likely forget about it. But if a teenager sees how cheerful parents looks when they win, and how they tell everyone how they are going to spend the money they wont, then that might play wrong for kids mind. At this age, a kid might open google and search for gambling. But a very young kid I think will be more interested in toys, friends and video games.

Why majority's of comments point to the fact that gambling is bad for children and should be kept out of they reach as an activity is because of the addictions tedency with gambling, yes it true that not all children Will have interest in such activities like gambling, same as not all adults are interested in it too, but the point there is that, viewing from the side of preventing any potential negative outcomes it better to outrightly keep gambling away from children and that is why parents are encouraged to keep they gambling activities from they kids to avoid any possible negative potential outcome for the kids.
Gambling have become so popular this day's because of the adoption of cryptocurrency casinos and the trend of cryptocurrency in the society, this make cryptocurrency casinos to become a motivations for anyone because of the high expectations in it, and for that, it can easily influence the interest of kids to come into gambling at any point they have such an opportunity, so keeping the away 💯 at early stages in life is most important to anyone as a parent, ordinarily also, kids like game's and gambling is games and fun so I believe majorit of kids will buy into the idea of gambling if they have the chance so let not denied the fact and risk in kids with gambling the tendency to gamble for kids that are exposed to Gambling is very high.

Nevertheless, we do a lot of different things in front of kids, and I dont understand, why, from huge variety of them, users here think, that certainly gambling will be an activity that children will want to dedicate their life to. Easy to notice, that kids get interested to things that are fun and have easy entry threshold. For example in my childhood "tag game" was the most popular outside activity. But I did not grow up as a sprinter, nor addicted to sport. It is clear that kids want to copy their parents, but they want to copy and become successful as parents. They might copy some manners, moves, but is not always like that. Otherwise we all would be a copy/paste of ancient people, and only thing we were capable to do were hunting or picking berries.

If the child is obedient then ii will be useful for him, providing stimulation or situations regarding gambling with a deep understanding will make them understand more about gambling, I agree with that.

But still even so, do not make children curious about gambling, especially if the father often shows himself gambling, of course it is not a good thing to show, the child can say that when he is prohibited or restricted from gambling by his parents while his parents play gambling, this will go against the child's psychology and will make them curious and do gambling.

Naughty children will do anything for things that make them curious, so be wise in telling and understanding the character of our children so that they understand the understanding we give them.

The thing is that almost everywhere children are told what to do, for example at school or at home, so there are many prohibitions for them. It is because of this that they want to do many forbidden things out of spite and try something new. And if you add to this funny sounds with beautiful animation, then for example slots, will strongly attract immature minds. They will perceive it as a fun game, but in fact it can be fraught with theft of money from parents for the game or in other places to go into it again and try to test their luck.

Lolz..i don't think that reading will interest most kids but only few who are naturally born with loving to read their books and you will notice that from when they are very very tender like let me say 2-4 years and above. The reason why I said so is because I have a daughter from 2 years, if I just pick up a book she wants her own book too and up till now she is still like that.

Gambling is different because it doesn't need much seriousness and boring since it is done for fun, so these children have the high chance of gambling when you do it in their front because they will want to copy what they see you doing. It is like smoking and drinking which children loves copying bad habits than good habits.

Lol, I have a doubt to that statement. There is a solution to kids addiction your post. You said it yourself, they get addicted when they dont know what they are doing, and they are not aware of responsibility. Spend some time teaching kids what is responsibility, what is addiction to gambling, what is right or wrong and that is it, they will have a different understanding what gambling is about. Without knowledge and understanding, anything will be different in kids eyes.

Adults also get addicted to gambling quickly. Not being able to manage finances and emotions and greed to get more money is a combination that will make adults also become addicted to gambling. But children have a great curiosity and they do not know what they are doing is right or wrong. They will be very easily addicted because they have no responsibility at all. That is why it is important to know that never gamble in front of children. There is no doubt in that statement.

This is a very valid point and that is why always its said that we should try to making sure we don't expose the children to gambling too early. I know that in the future these kids will later be exposed to it even if its not by their parents or their guardian. addiction to gambling isn't a thing for the adults alone, its even possible the children may even get more addicted than the adults because they would want to explore and knowing that this is something that could give them money effortlessly may be a good reason to keep trying repeatedly thereby becoming addicted.

Yeah as there are many factors that's affecting the development of the childrens brains, though same from the sentiment if the parents or the guardian will able to provide proper information and guidance to those young kids they might avoid or prevent getting hook but in the kind of our generation, one mistake of giving them an idea they have all the resources to learn and out of your knowledge they are already involve with gambling after seeing you playing in front of them.

It is unlikely that children will know or see the risk side, children will not see it because what is in their minds tends to only play with things that they like. Therefore, if we like to gamble, it is better to hide the gambling that is done in front of children.

I do not agree with gambling at work, because it can affect work performance which will decrease, in my opinion it is better to gamble at home, as long as you can hide it from children, besides that, don't think of gambling as a way to make money.

I walk into bet shops now and I see children betting it makes me wonder if there's no age limit anymore, why the sudden change?? I think it's because of what they Ve emulated from their elders, imagine a kid not up 13 years already knowing the betting system, that child won't be focused on any other thing apart from how to get money to gamble, it would do more harm than good because the exposure to that is too early..I agree with your point on this, adults should gamble somewhere completely hidden from children so they won't have that wrong influence, we must save the next generation..

If parents can guide their children with right, their children will not doing something that can gives a bad effect to them. They will be carefully when they want to do something that they don't know and will asks to us or other adult before they do it. They will asks for the guidance and if what they do can gives a bad thing for them, they will not doing that. Our children now smarter than previous generation and they can know something if they interest with something and we can imagine how if they can understand about gambling in their age.

We as their parents must be careful when watching a video in front of them because they can focus without we know and trying to figure out what is that. Children can expose to gambling from a young age if they see some adult people playing gambling in front of them and there is a tend for them to do the same thing if they are not with adult people but their friends. We will not know what they do with their friends because we can't always with them in a whole day so we must be careful when guide and take care of our children.

You know, what you say will happen only with 50/50 probability. They might become addicted, but the same they might not become addicted. One of things that I like to do during free time is reading. I am sure that my kid saw me reading more than once, but no matter how I try, I cant force or raise same interest to reading from him. "Dad, that is boring, I dont want to". That is what I hear. The kid is at the age, when through reading a lot of things can be discovered, Sadly, toys and iPad are main objects of interest right now.

Our children are clones of us, which is why people say that just by looking at their children you can learn something about their parents.
Not only gambling but also bad habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol or intimate gestures between husband and wife...we should not do those things in front of our children because they will learn and repeat those things. Many people think that they only gamble for fun and that it does them no harm. Yes, it won't harm them because they can control themselves but they cannot control others. Therefore, we should limit gambling or bad habits in front of anyone, especially children when they are just blank sheets of paper and copy quickly.

Yes, parents are the greatest teachers for their children. Moreover, children's intelligence is dormant during childhood. So if we play gambling in front of them or discuss about gambling then their latent intelligence will be directed towards gambling i.e. they may become interested in gambling.

Moreover the current time we call modern time where now a child is very smart. They understand it before we tell them anything. So if we as parents share gambling content in front of our children, they will learn and try to apply it. If children expose themselves to gambling from a young age, it is harmful to their developing brain and may even become addictive. So for children to develop properly and beautifully we have to take such steps and eliminate some activities that hinder the development of children.

If someone has good responsibility in gambling then I think they will have the same thoughts as us, in the sense that they know that gambling in front of children is an action that should not be done, they will know that it is an action that can indirectly cause disaster to a child's future, or what I mean is they know and understand that such actions can attract a child to try the same thing. But of course I am sure that maybe irresponsible gamblers or those who have an impulsive approach to gambling will not think too much about this, and actually regarding the issue of time to gamble I think everyone will always have free time in their daily lives, at least once a week when they are on the weekend, so I think there is no reason whatsoever that can be used as a form of defense to continue gambling openly especially in front of a child, as you said that we can gamble outside the home, but I do not recommend gambling at work, the point is you have to be able to divide your time according to its portion.
