Topic: Never gamble in front of your kids. - page 18. (Read 12632 times)

I agree, because children often imitate their parents and absorb knowledge like a sponge.  They may try to repeat something after their parents without even thinking that it is wrong.  And it’s important not to forget about this, even if we were the same, we just don’t remember ourselves as children.  And why even engage in gambling in front of children?  You can put them to bed and then play casino on your phone.  And children will not see their father's different emotions.

We are rushing those possibilities if we let them see what we do, I think that's your point and I agree with it. The kids in this era can easily absorb anything especially when it's about smartphones and the internet. Whenever they see a game, they will try to look for it and install it quickly. The worst part of today's era is that most online gambling services use an application either in Google Play or the IOS.
I've seen it, mostly in social media where popular streamers here in our country are usually advertising them because there's money in it. Heck, even popular artists are doing it now because they know it is legitimate which means it's been given legal authority by the government and that's why they will bite the advertisement. But little do they know, kids are also in social media now and there's a chance they will bump into it and install it someday.

Gambling in front of children or gambling openly when you are with your children is the same as you opening the door to various bad disasters in your child's future. I am not saying that this is something that will definitely happen, but if we Talking about possibilities then of course it cannot be denied that it could happen in the future and happen to your children.

On the other hand, I am sure that all parents always want the best for their children and they certainly don't want their children to experience bad things that they don't want. We can see the nature and behavior of someone who is trapped in addiction. Although there is no certainty that your child will become a victim of addiction in the future, it is of course very important to pay attention to this problem as early as possible, one way is if you are. an active gambler and if at any time you want to gamble then try and make sure that you are far from the reach of your children, I am sure that you will always have time for yourself and the children will definitely have their own activities such as studying or sleep, and that's when you can dedicate yourself to gambling.

Teaching children about what they can know is something that needs to do by their parents. That will makes their children can stay away from something that they don't needs to know in their age. They don't have to ask what is that to their parents because they thinks that they should not know now. Teaching financial education is a must since early stage so they know how to manage their money and know how to use the money.

Parents should teach about self control so their children will not doing something that can harm themselves especially when they with their friends. We know that children's interactions are now increasingly dangerous and that's why parents must be careful teaching their children. Children have a big curiosity so if that can be manage properly, children will not thinks about the risks to them. Parents needs to guide their children and teach everything they needs to know especially in a good thing so that children have a strong foundation in socializing with their friends and will not be influenced by bad things.

I can say from observation in my country, and Europe countries I have visited. I would say that underaged gambling problem is pumped. It is not as huge as we think it is. We are worried that kids will copy adults and become addicted to gambling, but I never say gambling addicted kid in my life. Moreover, from years of gambling experience, I saw less than 5 really addicted gamblers (however, I did not search for addicted gamblers on purpose).

As our kids are used to quick information, such as instagram, tik tok, facebook feed and etc, even if they start gambling, they wont focus on it, but instead switch to something else, then in few minutes to something else and so on.

It's obvious that children emulate what's in their environment, and that's while it's advisable for someone to have a limitation of kind of this they discussed in the presence of children, it's obvious that children that slightly involve themselves in gambling mostly casino doesn't know the full implications of it, and they gamble because of what they heard, teaching children financial methods when they have not reached to certain level of understanding the important of finance, that will discouraged them from their studies because all their attention and focus will strictly goes for finance.

Giving them insight to what is thepossibilities that may happen to them if they fall into it, some kind of addiction that will lead them to ruin their lives, It's true that the wisest thing to do is to guide them in the reality of life, if they start gaining interest to gambling in their young minds the threat of being addicted is possible, better to keep accompanying them to other kinds of activities to divert their attentions and not gain any interest to proceed into gambling industry.

Good question. To be honest, I've never seen kids gambling in my life. All the pictures I can see on google are indeed staged pictures that don't relate to real gambling at all. What can I say? First off, it's a good thing. It means that even though we shouldn't exclude those cases, they are extremely rare cases apparently.

We have a big international community here, and maybe in some countries it's not so rare, so, please, say your word, guys from those places where it's an actual problem: underage gambling.

Exactly by giving directions like you said above, it is much better for our children or other people's children, of course this makes them think and of course they will not do it because they already know the flow of the site. And from here we can educate them that gambling will have a negative impact on their finances compared to the benefits.

That's true. We all know that our parents won't wish us ill and bad to what we're doing. They won't influence us to gamble although kids will definitely do the same thing of what they're seeing to their parents.

However, if there's nothing wrong with the parents, the bad influence could be the people that they're dealing with always and most likely it is their friends.

Parents are seen as models of their kids and that's why we won't do such things in front of them.

Ok, here ie the thing. I have logged in into my gambling account and start playing slots. My kid came to check me. What is this, am I gambling in front of them? Or my kid just went to have a look what I am doing. Just asking to understand, if I am stupid or not, if I tell that I play a game where I need to catch a combination of fruits.

From many users here point of view, I can already put a cross on my kids future. As it is already cursed with gambling addiction. And my kids “brain” is already damaged because of that (yes, brain, some users used that word lol).

If an adult people can't control their emotions when they are gambling, that can happens to them when they are with their children. They can lose control and do something that can harm their children as many bad cases already happens to children. We as their parents must take care of our children and teach them to be responsible to what they do so they will not gets any bad effects to their life.

Children are smart today because they can search for what they wants to knows so we must explain and teach them carefully and not trying to playing gambling in front of them. Children now can grow without their parents knows so we must besides them often so we can knows what happens to them.

But we can playing gambling in other places without our children knows what we will do. They will not asking or curious if we can explain that we needs to do something that they should not knows. If they are below 5 years, we can with them and accompany them when they playing their games. But we can explain that adult people have many things to do and not just besides them because we needs to works for them.

If we can explain them until they understand, they will not follow us when we do many things. We can hide our gambling activities from them so they will knows what we do in our spare time when we don't besides them. They will not asking us what we do if we can tells them with right and they will not curious with us too.

It is definitely right that you say, after children are born in mother's lap, they gradually grow up in the family and they learn various things from the family members. If the family members ensure a good environment for the child during childhood then the child grows up well but if the growing environment is not right for the child then the proper growth of the child is disturbed. If most of the family members are involved in gambling and if they do various activities related to gambling in front of the child and discuss about gambling then gradually the child will become curious about gambling. By doing this, it will be seen that when that boy or girl grows up in the family, this habit will remain in him, as a result of which his education will become a difficult subject to pay attention to like other normal boys and girls.
So even if you think about the beautiful future of the child, at least gambling should not be discussed in front of him.

Only stupid people would want to gamble in front of their children, even though maybe they can deny that it can be used as an education, still for me it's wrong to do it in front of children, besides, let them know from outside and let them ask us as people so that we can explain it well without having to ask them again with further questions, just say that gambling is not a children's game because it is only done by adults and it is very risky, in fact anyone will lose everything if they cannot control it when gambling. , that is never a good thing for anyone to do, at least to convince our children not to touch it.

Don't scare them with unnecessary things because they may be curious about it and end up going deeper and learning about it. We also know that small children like to play games on the internet. If they are used to playing on the internet, they can still use money from their parents. When it comes to gambling, it all depends on the social circle, but as long as parents look after their children's social relations then everything will be fine, the role of parents is responsible for their children's future so don't set an example of something that is not good in front of them. It would be better to introduce more positive activities.

Yes, of course and this means that parents must really keep away various things that have the potential to make gambling reach their children, one of which may be internet media, meaning that parents must really limit the use of smartphones for their children, because after all it is impossible. We ask the casinos not to carry out various promotional displays because after all that is the work they do to generate profits from the gamblers involved.

This means that it is only us as parents who have to keep our children away from various negative things and not only about gambling, where perhaps the first step that must be taken is by increasing attention and vigilance towards a child and also following this by limiting their activities, especially in Regarding the use of smartphones, that is the most important thing, because now most casinos operating in the online sector always use the internet, especially social media, as their biggest place to carry out promotions.

Who can guarantee that your children will avoid gambling even if you hide this activity from them? You live in your time, while the children live in theirs. In the era of increasingly sophisticated technology, it is very difficult to hide something from them, indirectly they will learn about gambling from their friends, advertisements that appear on their cell phones and social media.
The wisest step is to give them an understanding of the risks that can arise from gambling, invite them to look at the system in place at the gambling place and then show them how the system is used there.

parents have the duty to educate their children to be good children and it is the obligation of every parent to teach and educate their children for good things, but even so, the circle of friends will also determine what kind of friends they will socialize with, the upbringing that parents give them. can make them think about not doing risky or negative things. Apart from that, even if their friends force them to do things that are not good or risky, maybe they can avoid it because their parents' upbringing has made them think well that they should stay away from negative things.

Of course, parents educate them not to do bad things or have wrong social interactions, but social interactions outside the home can also affect them and many children are more comfortable living outside than with their families, but that's a different case. Apart from that, of course it is not recommended to gamble in front of children, because I think it is unethical if they do it in front of children, moreover of course it is an action that is not included in education unless they tell them that gambling is something that can have a bad impact on them. but I think even if parents don't tell them about gambling, they will still know about it because there is a wider environment outside the home that knows and teaches them many things, they themselves must be able to differentiate between good and bad things for themselves.

With your post you have only proved, that problem of kids, gambling and not realizing consequences aint as big as people mention here. Since you have managed to gamble in childhood, and not turned into addicted, why do you think that it is that dangerous? You see, many here confuse "not gambling" and "not seeing". If a kid sees someone gamble, does it means that he will also do it? Nobody here wants children to gamble until they turn 18, but many also prefer to hide information about gambling. I see no reason for doing that. Its "knowing and not doing" vs "knowing and doing".

Just a quick question: what do you do, when someone smoke on the street, and you are with kids. Or drink alcohol. I bet you have explained what smoking and alcohol is, and your kids understood that they should not smoke and drink until they are 18, or that it is not healthy. I bet you dont close their eyes and ears when someone smokes and drink nearby them.

Therefore, it is important to limit and supervise children so that they remain under parental supervision. Children who are given smartphones and spend a lot of time on their cellphones without being monitored by their parents tend to make these children vulnerable to gambling. Currently there is a lot of information and advertisements from Google that lead to gambling sites. I even found a link to a gambling site on my friend's child's social media account. Even though they never access gambling, I am confused about how the algorithm works. Gambling sites can pay huge sums to get their ads shown to as many viewers as possible.

what do you mean financial education? That we all should teach our children how to gamble and show 'em the risk so they can stay away from it? You don't blame everything on education... You could want to focus more on redefining that objection of yours. What sort of parents would lead their child to something and then ask them to not practice it?

Children are very versatile creatures that would emulate the least mistake that's repeated twice; seen a kid from kindergarten walking half-bent as though she's old, clutching onto a little weird stick... That's how her grandmother walks! Whatever you don't want them to know, which isn't a necessity, don't show them!
