Topic: Never gamble in front of your kids. - page 20. (Read 12632 times)

Just because the world is modernized and people are making maximum use of technology does not mean that a child will be a minor to do such activities. No matter how advanced technology is, the thinking of an adult is not the same as that of a minor. He is an experienced person, but he must take decisions carefully. The fact that gambling is accessible does not mean that young children will indulge in gambling at the expense of their studies. It is natural that they may gamble when they become adults and have decision-making powers as they should fully focus on their studies while they are building their careers.

As a parent then you can't really  be able to monitor put everything on which it would really be just that normal that there would really be things that you can't be able to do so.This is why that it is really that right on taking all the blame by parents or guardian who do sees out with those people or young fella.Being responsible is somehow that depends on a certain person on which even there's no present or actual guidance but you do make yourself that know on what you are doing.

Due to easy access of today specially having an internet connection on your own phone then you could be able to do everything.

Although you tell kids against gambling because it's addictive, you're all in on crypto since it could make you rich. But what are sponges learning? Instead of scare them away from gambling, show self-discipline and knowledge. Manage risk, not avoid it, kids. The key to crypto, gambling, and life

Things must stop being excellent or bad. Gaming is hazardous, but crypto is promising. Help youngsters understand money and smart choices. If they value a dollar, they won't waste it on a bad casino or coin bet. Instead of protecting kids, prepare them. Let people make informed judgments and handle risk's ups and downs. Financial literacy and gambling risks can be taught to kids. Will assure long-term success

The last time I saw underage kids gambling was before they made designated gambling areas in our country. I remember back then there were casinos in every neighborhood and many grocery stores had slot machines that accepted coins. Since the sellers of such stores physically did not have time to keep track of all the visitors during peak hours, underage youths took advantage of this.

Currently, I do not have the opportunity to play in land-based casinos, as I play online, but I am sure that there is a lot of underage gamblers.

If they can control themselves from the effect of gambling, they can playing gambling to have fun. But many people doesn't realizes or not sure about themselves so that makes them gets deeper in gambling without have a chance to quit gambling easily. When someone tempts from gambling, they will not see that's a fast way for them to spends their money especially if they don't have a good control instead they will just thinks that's a way for them to wins much money.

It's better adult people not playing gambling in front of their children if they don't wants their children curious about what they do. Adult people doesn't knows when their children will playing gambling with their friends because their children can do that secretly. Adult people must guided their children carefully and doesn't have to show their gambling activities to their children.

Yes, that's also true, sometimes using the same internet network means that everyone who accesses anything, both on cellphones and computers, will usually display the same advertisements. I like accessing gambling sites and gambling advertisements often appear on my wife's social media and of course my wife also knows that I also gamble but this will have an impact on my child if he tries to visit the gambling advertisements, why is it important to make any settings so that the child's cell phone cannot see gambling advertisements, especially if my child watches YouTube, I'm afraid he will also access gambling sites.

Yes, even though my child is still small and it is impossible to learn it, it is better to be alert from an early age to keep his cell phone settings so that he does not access gambling advertisements, making it easier for me to gamble without my child knowing and also a little relieved because my child will not access or see gambling advertisements, p. It really needs to be paid attention to, namely gambling advertisements which have become increasingly common lately, including on social media.

First, it's really hard to blame a child's guardian because the need to gamble is simply a form of entertainment, no matter how much we try to hide it, it can still reveal itself accidentally and the child can still see actions that society condemns but seeing and education are a separate story, the important thing is the exploitation of a child's psychology. Although children at this age like to imitate, their cognitive and receptive abilities are relatively unique, especially in the stage of social development, their thinking and avoiding bad things are very good, just need the guardian to behave properly

Now that we have entered the era of globalization which is full of all the sophistication of technology, it is very difficult to hide any information from children because indirectly they will learn it autodidactically through the cell phones that accompany them every day. I agree with your idea, it is not the time to hide any information from children, parents must introduce gambling to their children by giving them the understanding that gambling is not a place to make money.
They need to be involved in the game and show the expressions of other gamblers who have just experienced defeat. This method can also educate them that gambling never guarantees victory.

Okay, how about if I put it this way that "teaching them about the consequences of gambling might be a good one rather than just having a gambling discussion or even probably gambling to their notice while the ongoing activity doesn't connect with educating the kids about it". Because some other parent aside your way of thinking could make that mistake.
So I guess they'd take it up to their own way and try if they could emulate from what was heard or seen without understanding the basic due to their tendered mentality.
Sometimes, it feels more safer not to let call on kids attentions at some terms having potential hurt just like I said earlier, "kids sometimes intensionally acts ignorant and would always want to "dare" just to feel how that may really hurt before taking a lession out of it".
Sorry I've been reasoning otherwise from you because I think of bringing my own kids up my ways so also you've your ways. So I'm definitely not going to doubt your opinion. You're right and I could be right also.

But why discussing gambling isnt accepted ? What is bad from knowing what to expect from gambling, knowing how it works, what consequences might be if you act recklessly? You suggest to experience that themselves when they turn 18 ? Or I, as a parent, better warn them about it. Isnt it better to be familiar to unknows when I am not around and cant guide them? You said it yourself - kids are "psychologically tendered and not self defensive enough to separate the right from wrongs". And you suggest to keep them defenceless and not knowing about potential threat.

Kids nowadays are very inquisitive and they want to know everything and experiment what they see, not minding whether the outcome will be favorable to them or not. It is very easy to be addicted to gambling and being underaged where they are not yet financially independent, it is not favorable to let them into it. Gambling should be for adults that have the maturity to make responsible decisions while gambling, not for kids who are supposed to be focusing on their education. We can allow kids to play games on phones, I've seen kids that play puzzle and other games on mobile phones, so far the games are safe and doesn't require money to gamble, then it is not a problem.

I submit to say there's a misconception which you understood it on the other way and not literally how I meant.
Let me just say that things that has addictive potentials or negative effect if one isn't taking adequate conciousness of it shouldn't be engaged to the knowledge of kids because they're usually fond of daring even when the fact is seem as threats to hurt.
They're psychologically tendered and not self defensive enough to separate the right from wrongs so, it should be better they don't even learn about that angle which if by means they induges to do it on their own without a guidance that it could be hurtful such as the gambling maybe emphasized.
I just think that with their tendered mentality they shouldn't be closed to gambling or its discussion because you as a guidance might not always be around them to guide them all through their going in and outs.
If it's about crypto, that's a different view because you as a parent doing the crypto things and knowing how utilizing lucrative it's, you'd always want your kids to grow and do along with it when they grows up but on gambling, you as a parent will leave it for the child to decide if he'll gamble or not when he grows up but because crypto doesn't have a side effect aside the risks of lost of funds potentials due to the volatilities of the Cryptocurrencies. So obviously, crypto is a technological assets which gives more benefits in returns comparing to gambling.
We all need to make money which adopting the Crypto technology could be very recommending for our kids but we can't just afford to encourage them to gamble at their tendered ages.
That's my take. Thanks.

Btw, ads in kids apps is a disaster. I dont know who is responsible to ads targeting, but when kids download free games where they have to watch ads between tries or levels, they are watch content that does not match their age or interest. From war to underwear shops or cosmetics. That is what parents fight with and monitor. And in this case, I would agree that kids should be limited gambling related info, because seeing every minute a casino advertisement is harmful.

True, there are many available sources of information all over the net unlike before the influence mostly coming from the people that sorrounds our kids, nowadays if you are not careful enough to monitor your kids they might be hook to something that they can learn online, maybe not a direct influence from you but if you are using devices that the kids can also use around there's a chance that they might visit or ads may show up from the site that they are visiting, especially if we are allowing our kids using social media platforms where those ads are available they might see it by themselves and got attracted to visit we never know what will happen next if interest hook them up.

Such a bs  

You have mentioned 3 unconfirmed things in one post. Bravo. 1) addiction 2) gambling suppose to be bad 3) gambling ruins life with 100% probability. Just give a tiny proof why would kids get instantly interested in gambling, become addicted and ruin their lives after seeing someone gamble, and I would leave you alone.

Moreover, how come discussions aka explaining how work happen in the world could lead to addiction? My kid saw me posting on the crypto forum. Then I should not explain him what crypto is, because the kid will either invest in scam or be scammed? That is your logic? And crypto is used for money laundering and buy illegal stuff. That also means that I should never tell my kid what crypto is? That is your logic.

Adults have many responsibilities in dealing with children that children imitate. For example, if someone smokes in front of a child, then later that child may want to smoke secretly, so it is better not to show such negative behavior or bad habits in front of the children. I don't think gambling is bad that divides the regions even visually. Children imitate the situation around them and if he sees gambling going on in front of them he may easily pick up but they should understand that gambling addiction is very bad and gradually he wants to take positive side of it.

I came from a region where underaged who does what isn't acceptable of their age are seem to be mannerless and for such kids to be blamed, the parents or guidance should be blamed first because the child is acting according to privileges and what's seem at their parents doing.
So gambling at the front or even having gambling discussions in front of kids is improper because kids are quick to capture bad knowledges such as addictions than what'd be profitable based on their tendered ages.
Kids seeing parents at any form of gambling relativity is assumed nurturing the child to do as they do. Such could really affirmed to the child gambling addictively and ruining it own life along.

A question to all: when was the last time you see kids gambling? Or have your ever saw kids gambling? I went to google to search for some pictures. Most of "kids gambling" pictures were stock photos or something staged, or was just random gambling photos. This questions appeared in my head, when I saw 14-16yo kids smoking on school stadium. When I have searched for "kids smoking" in google, indeed I found more real pictures than kids gambling. Why nobody fights so passionate about kids and smoking?

Again people use that "get addicted and destroy their life" medieval scary story.

danherbias07 said it perfectly, "the world is changing". Nowadays, there are so many things to do, to discover, to try, so huge variety of entertaining, that a chance that a kid, after watching adults gamble, gets interesting in gambling is times lower than it was 20-50 years ago. If only gambling is around the kid, the no wonder that he will be interested in it, and if he isnt smart and educated, he will get addicted. But way to many possibilities are open for kids today.

Something does not come together with what I see around and that "growing amount of gamblers among youth". All youth are in social media and gadgets, than gambling online.

It's not completely in your hands because you can't be near your child all the time. It's physically impossible. He/she can be influenced by the internet, TV, friends and other relatives, and you can't do much about it. But the most important thing is the understanding that kids shouldn't be gambling before certain age. If you have that understanding it's a big step forward already. Unfortunately, some parents think that what they should do is to teach their kids to gamble, the sooner the better, because, supposedly, they "are luckier at young age". If you know that that's wrong, it's already a good start.
