Topic: Never gamble in front of your kids. - page 19. (Read 12632 times)

I think that is the best thing that can be done, for me children should be taught financial education from a young age, because that is what I consider was missing, I start from the fact that current education is corrupt, because it does not teach how to be professionals to work for others, that is what it all boils down to, today's children should be taught financial education so that they realize for themselves what it takes to play in a casino, where things are by chance and what is risked the most is money including emotions and other things that include, in that aspect they will know by themselves that these casinos are for adults, to risk a little money and as a method of fun.

I will not advice any person to gamble in the presence of the children because offsprings can emulate what their parents is doing and they think that everything that comes from their parents is right thing most especially when you are doing a such frequently so I think that is not knowledgeable for someone to make analysis of gambling in the presence of it children so anyone who is doing that is educating the children on how to participate in gambling unknown to the person so I believe that it is a wrong concept for someone to analyze and Gamble in the presence of the children

I totally agree with your comment because if there is no bad influence of friends from the environment then no way a child will be attracted to gambling. The influence of bad friends and bad use of mobile phones are forcing children to become gamblers.
But a parent never wants their child to become a gambler rather a caring parents always wishes her child a bright future. However, if a parent becomes addicted to gambling in front of the child, the child will be somewhat affected by the parent's actions. So parents should never get drunk on gambling in front of their children.

That's because of the surroundings and the influence of their friends. It's really because of how they've managed to see gambling through mobiles from their friends.

If it's not because of their friends, they won't gamble just like their parents. But even the surroundings is out of scope of the parents, they still need to check their kids from time to time and what they're doing with their gadgets.

Kids of this age have access to alot of things that even the parents may not know about, as long as there is an internet connectivity for them, to access such sites or come across gambling sites on the internet is very easy for them, sometimes even though gambling advert may be configured to display only on adults browsers it is still very likely that kids get access to such promotion same ways the adult person also have access to those promotions so it becomes hard for parents to monitor they kids against such promotion and gaming site's.

Once a child is supplied with an internet accessible phone he'll have a high propensity to get in on the act of gambling. How then do we look forward to find by chance such kids, who are locked in their private room with a phone? Does it come in mind to snap themselves and publish online? It's not a bragging right, they're secretly engaging in gambling. Expecting to see on search engines or popular websites loads of pictorial contents presenting gambling kids to viewers is unessential. I guess such contents can be found on special interest boards known by specific people, and the sites don't rank on google. Probably configured to be hidden from the general public.

Are trying to say it cannot possibly for a parent to avoid gamble in front of their kids, it can possibly even thought the world has exposed there a way many ways to avoid a kids from gamble. Because no matter how the kids is trying to hide from his parents that it will not let him know that is into gambling, one day it might exposed that the parents can definitely know we all know that this life is all about choice, but a kids that knows himself will know go after his parents.

And the reason why some children are after their parents at home is when the parents refuse take the home responsibility, the children can definitely go hustle for they can survive with their mother in their home.

Yes, it all comes back to the role of parents because only they can supervise their children at home, even though in this modern era all access to gambling can be done easily just by connecting to the internet. Still, it must be kept away from the house, for example by cutting off access to sites and advertisements. any kind of gambling cannot be accessed by minors, because there are many cases where minors play slot gambling and become addicted to it so that the child commits a criminal act, namely stealing money from his school friends and this is beyond the parents' ability to supervise their child.

Every parent has limits, therefore, take advantage of these limits in the house so that our children cannot access them easily, for example gambling advertisements are also very influential and dangerous for children to see, where large amounts of money are often displayed or someone is winning a big money jackpot. so that it attracts children's attention to try games so they can earn money from gambling, even though it is just part of advertising marketing, not real. it all comes back to the stricter role of parents, the better.

Yes, because after all it is an obligation for a child which is completely our own responsibility as parents, no one will care about your child except you, and this is a general thing that everyone should know, but yes, sometimes there are It's just that some parents are irresponsible for everything they have done, one of which is that they don't give full attention to their children, who in fact tend to ignore them.

On the other hand, yes, I understand that we live in a modern, digital era where everything can be done and found very easily, one of which is online-based gambling, which means of course this is a dangerous situation, in the sense that it is very possible to make children - Our children fall into gambling without us realizing it as you said, and this is why parenting or directing children to the right things along with implementing various forms of preventative measures must be further improved by parents.

I absolutely agree with you about the fact that we must hide from our children our passion for gambling because children often copy the behavior of their parents without even realizing it.

Although I started gambling long before my adulthood and I can confidently say that I personally do not have any problems with gambling and all thanks to the fact that I learned to limit myself.

But I would not want my children to gamble until they come of age.

But of course on which as a parent then it would be just that right that we should really be that guiding our kids as much as we could since we do have that responsibilities on raise our kids on the right path.Although we do know that it's something that hard because of the easy access that we do have today on which they could possibly be able to encounter things on which it's out of our awareness and that's why it would be that relevant that on telling them as early as possible.If you are someone whose a parent then it would be just that right that you should be leading them on the right way of things rather than on going on something's risky.

As a matter of fact, when an adult can't control their emotions when they are gambling, so how can we expect children to be so responsible that they won't be influenced by the negative vibes of gambling whether it be the use of excessive funds or keep on gambling to chase loses etc. To be honest, children can get the negative effects of gambling much more quickly as compared to adults.



When you are living at home with kids living with you, there is no way you can hide your gambling activities and kids will usually follow you or at least be curious to know where you are spending your time. Unless kids are very small, then it is a separate thing but with the kids of age 5 and above, its very hard to gamble without them being aware of your activities.

Usually, little boys are raised from childhood on the ideals of their parents.If parents teach their children well, then children get good education, and if parents teach their children wrongly, then children get wrong education. We should guide the children in the right way so that they can develop for the future.

I don't understand whether children should be gambling in front of them but I have seen little the boys in my area gambling through mobiles. However, the parents of those who gambled through mobile were not addicted to gambling, but their children were addicted to gambling. Even though their parents never gambled in front of those children, they still learned to gamble. They are hated by the family for such activities.

I'm pertaining to this part of @Wakate "There are things we need to be observant about and we don't have to do in the presence of the children if we really want to have a lovely father that would not turn to something else.." And do you even read what I wrote? I said the kids might think it's just a game and not knowing there's a money involved.

As much as possible it would be better to gamble privately  so the kids won't see. It doesn't mean you're lazy to explain but more on you're just being careful on your actions especially if it's not suited for their age to know. And yes it's important to communicate for general topic and it is not limited to gambling. So that you're aware of your kid's activity especially if they're using their gadgets. You just misunderstood what I said.

What do you mean "well said"? The guy just told not to do anything in front of kids, because they might feel interested in it and might want to repeat it. What is great from being afraid that your kid will eventually try to repeat what you did? Moreover, "to save ourselves for further explanations about gambling, then let's just keep it private", that is totally wrong. What you say is "do something secretly, because you are lazy to give explanation". Now comes fun part, you say that it is important to communicate, yet you support the idea of doing secretly because you are lazy

Well said. We should not let our kids see that we're playing. Because they might think it's just a game without money involve and find it interesting. Therefore, to save ourselves for further explanations about gambling, then let's just keep it private. The reason why it is also crucial to have a regular communication with our kids so that we're aware of what they're up to and monitor them.

Previously in this topic I have mentioned, that parents must have a "high reputation" in kids eyes. Not like parents must be strict and kids should be afraid of them, afraid to do something wrong and etc. But a kind of reputation, when father or mothers says it one time, and the kid fully agree and believe in that. For example if I tell my kid "he buddy, you see, you are a bit young for gambling, wait until you are 18 and you can try it yourself, but today, it isnt recommended to try". My kid would trust what I say and wont "dare" to do opposite.

You know, kids always test limits of what can they do (what is forbidden) and get away with it, and when they will get punished. In my family, such thing as "dare" to do what I have told not to do does not work. We have a little bit different approach. We do not forbit most of things, but we explain and discuss consequences and what can go wrong. If my kid wants to jump down from a tree house. I would not say "you are not allowed to do that" or "if you jump, I wont let you play in again". Instead I say that you can try jumping down, but you might hurt yourself, or might not. If want to try it - try, but if you get hurt, I am not going to help you. I am letting my kid get his own experience. The kid would better learn now, instead of being 18 and jumping down the roof, because of not realizing what would be.

There are some certain things we don't have to do in the presence of the children because they might want to do like there father without have a good knowledge about what it is all about. Gambling is fun and the activities might be addictive to the extent that we could be surprised the kind of result we are getting. There are things we need to be observant about and we don't have to do in the presence of the children if we really want to have a lovely father that would not turn to something else. Gambling can sometimes be addictive but we just have to keep trying to ameliorate things in the right order.

Exactly, that will help them to not have that greedy mindset of seeing gambling as a place of making money and stuff, I believe that's one of the first thing that normally lead to one ruining his lives through gambling. Alot of folks now and days in gambling have the mindset that they can easily make it through gambling, just by hitting the jackpot, neglecting the risk that's attached to it , which may lead them gambling unwisely or should I say irresponsibly.

While those that ain't in for the cash but for the fun part , always know the boundary they can go in gambling and those set of people always gamble with what they can afford to lose and they can easily call it a day than those who are fighting and playing inorder to hit the jackpot. Parents reaching your child by showing them the things gambling can lead to if not approach well . Then they can know that gambling ain't a place to make money.

If there is any least thing that is frequently check here as a criteria before gambling, age is least thing that will be check here both on physical betting shops that are recognized as well as online betting platforms that are registered and recognize by the government and I don't know why they do this, maybe the government doesn't really care about the negative effect of gambling on kids or perhaps the casino is taking that advantage because they know government wouldn't bother about it even though there is contract on ground.

If you want to know underage that gamble in this place, take a walk to any betting shop when the Premier and Champions League is back, you will see different age line up and sitting to make a bet for the games they selected from home and the ones they came to book right there and sometimes I wonder how some parent raise their kids, they absolutely don't pay attention to what their children does, they only react after the deed has been done and it's very bad.
