Topic: Never gamble in front of your kids. - page 31. (Read 8348 times)

Children will be easier to understand something and feel more interested in something when they try it or see it directly, it has a greater impact and influence than just listening in theory like in school. And on the other hand, as you said, especially if children see that the activity is carried out by one of their parents who is certainly always the center of their attention in their daily lives. We must realize and understand that children have feelings that tend to be more easily tempted, especially when they feel that it is fun and also on the other hand they have a very high curiosity about the new things they find.

The development of the times is very fast and now it is very modern in any case including technology, I more often see children today busy with their gadgets than reading books and if only initially they have seen gambling activities that you do then don't be surprised if suddenly you find them busy playing gadgets that turn out they have been involved in one of the online gambling situations, in addition to every casino lately always appears on some social media with a really big promotion, and that is a significant possibility.

children, they don't have much attachment to things when they are still small, we can see children from 2 years old to 10 years old playing on the phone or even watching children's animes and when they become adults they have nothing related to anime addiction or games, this is because even if a child spends every day watching anime or playing games for 5 years, that child is not aware of the importance of what he is doing, he does not get attached to anything he is doing. For that child, what he is doing at that moment only serves to have fun at that moment, nothing more.

Now when it comes to children aged 14 and over, things are more complicated because they are in the rebellious phase and have too many emotions, so if they just play games every day and don't do other things in the real world, then this child you will have a greater chance of becoming addicted to games and this has often happened because in families they bully a member of the family and as a consequence the member of the family who is bullied will go down the wrong path in order to forget what he suffers, and this bad path is drugs or they start drinking a lot to forget their problems and become addicted to alcohol or in other cases they become addicted to gambling.

but most cases of gambling addictions are not in children, they are in adults because at this stage people tend to worry a lot about money to pay bills, at this stage people get very frustrated when they can't get a job or when They cannot earn a salary that satisfies them and they resort to other methods to earn money and so people go to games of chance where they lose even more and in an attempt to recover the losses they lose money, and destroy their lives. anything that people do in an exaggerated way will always be harmful

Every type of addiction is really complicated, especially when it comes to children who have no idea how serious it is.

Whenever possible, parents should pay close attention to the slightest sign of inappropriate behavior by their children when playing or using the internet.

Some people literally underestimate a kid's capability to learn something by just observing or watching, just remember that some of the children follow or imitate their parents as they see them as the one that guides them in life. Just for example, you are a good chef, if they know that you are a good cook, most probably they would like to be a chef as well when they grow up things like that. Even if you told them that gambling shouldn't be done by kids, they could still do it secretly so once they find it entertaining as you also do it as well, then for sure they would do gambling without hesitation. If you can't handle your gambling habits as you know to yourself that gambling is not good if handled poorly, then as a responsible parent you wouldn't even teach them in the first place.

More important things in life is to guide our kids to the right pattern of life, doing things like gambling where the chance that they may gain interest of our children should be prevented, yes it's true that having good communication with your children may give them heads up and preventions, though it's a must not to allow yourself to create that interest,

I mean if you can play away from their site than better doing so, from that point you are both protecting yourself to influence them and you are also protecting them to learn about the gambling that you are involved with.

Yes, that's true because an unfavorable surrounding environment can have an impact on children's development so parents must provide more supervision over their children. Parents should start paying attention to who their children hang out with and try to communicate with them or at least want to know who their children's friends are. Most parents don't really care who their children's friends are, where they live, who their parents are and so on. By knowing what their children are doing, parents can at least pay more attention so that their children don't take the wrong path as they grow up. With guidance from parents, they can keep their children away from things that are inappropriate and inappropriate.

I agree with what you said. Children don't really imitate their parents. But children have a great opportunity to imitate their parents' activities. And I see that children have a high curiosity to try something. Usually they start by trying what their parents did. Parents who gamble in front of their children will record the activity and try it. This can have bad consequences because they are not yet mature enough to think and take a wise attitude. Maybe we gamble because it is a hobby and we only use our entertainment budget allocation. But children are different. They can become addicted because gambling produces pleasure when they win and curiosity when they lose. That's why gambling is legal in some countries with age restrictions. Children cannot control themselves like we adults. I think the most correct option is as has been said by @piebeyb. You are truly a true parent.

Finally we have a real parent here. As a parent, I would gladly discuss some things with you. It is 10000% correct that you prioritize time spending with kids, then gambling. But do you really think that your kid never saw you gambling? If you say no, then I wont believe in it. At least once your kid saw you gambling and have asked what are you doing. No matter what answer you have give, I am sure that reply was kind of "OK" or "I understand", and the kid went doing his own things. Or sit near and waited for you to be free (you calmly have closed either browser tab or logged out). I mean nothing bad really happened from that situation. Rift did not appear in the ground and the devil did not shout from there that the soul of your child now belongs to him.

This happens a lot, especially in the slum area where most parents are irresponsible and don't really care about the mental and emotional health of their children. They just loosely let them watch such kinds of activities until they become one of those guys and their parents no longer have any means to control them because they already gain muscles and strength. If you could only see how many cases of a son punching their father in our community back then just because their fathers wanted to discipline them, but what can you do when they already growing and you getting older as well? In the end, they became criminals and most of them are in jail right now just because of this kind of mistake caused by their parents.

With current advances in technology, it is easy for children to access anything, that's why never gamble in front of children, even if you gamble at an online casino using a cellphone or computer, still stay away from children as long as we want to gamble, always make sure they are really fast asleep so we can be calmer. playing gambling without having to worry about our children learning from what we play.

Personally, I always gamble at night when my children are sleeping and I can gamble in peace. If they are still not asleep, I usually accompany them to play because it is important as a father to accompany children to play until they feel love and don't feel deprived of that feeling. which makes them obedient to our orders as parents when we tell them to sleep, they will sleep immediately. That's why controlling yourself from gambling is very important. Control the right time to gamble.

Your mistake to let them watch you gambling since the color and the games are attractive to their Eyes , they might think that it is a normal gaming but has opportunity to win.
any update to how your Kiddo act now? he stopped asking about it now?

Once they felt that enjoyment expect them to continue and without your knowledge they actually doing it, I guess you should always be caring about what you are doing in front of your kids or in front of those young people around you, you can encourage them doing things without saying anything.

But with the way you do things in front of them, they are just observing and they will do things on their own. Be very furious and careful to avoid your kids from imitating you.

Environmental factors can cause children to fall into things that are inappropriate for children their age. Apart from preventing gambling habits that are often carried out by parents, children also need supervision in their playing environment. Children adapt most quickly to something new, at first they just try it, then they become addicted to everything they do. Parents must be more active in supervising all forms of their children's activities so that they do not do things that could harm themselves and others.

Tons of bs in your post. Dont know where to start from...

First of all, if you see a kid addicted to gambling, never ever touch that kid and try to bring on right path. That kid has his own parents, someone who takes care of him and etc. Better talk to them if you want to help. Moreover, no one asked for your help. If you think that gambling is bad, then other might have different opinion.

I like how you described kids future - gambling is a problem of everything. And if the kid gambles, then he will be addicted and his next generations will be addicted Like gambling is a gene If gambling ruins lives, why it isnt forbidden everywhere?

Anyway, I gamble. Do you think I am addicted? Do you think I do something wrong? Do you think I have ruined or ruining my life ?

You are definitely right. It is best to keep gambling away from children as much as possible. Because if children are addicted to gambling at the age when they are studying, then his life will be ruined and his family will be ruined too. Children will get addicted to gambling and his future will be completely ruined. So children should never be told about gambling. If we see a child addicted to gambling in front of us then we should try our best to bring that child on the right path.

But most children can still see their parents or adults around them doing things that are not appropriate for their children to see. That's what finally made the children interested in trying it. In fact, I have often seen underage children smoking with their friends casually and as if they didn't care about other people seeing them. I have also seen children gambling with their friends in a place that is not too busy. They enjoy the card gambling games they play.

That is why parents must always pay attention if they want to gamble, drink alcohol or smoke not to be near their children. At least they can say they want to leave the house for a while and visit a friend so their children don't see what they are doing.

While gambling by itself is not wrong, at the same time we recognize that there are a set of behaviors that are not appropriate for underage people as they are simply not mature enough to take the right decision by themselves, which is why things like alcohol, cigarettes and gambling are forbidden for them.

So early on parents that gamble should make an effort to hide their activities from their kids, as this is a behavior they do not want to be copied at such an age.

The family environment for children is where a child instills character in himself by imitating his parents, parents are role models for a child in development. And again family education is an environment that must be positive so that children have a good mentality and mindset, because children spend more time at home, rather than studying and playing outside the home, so from research parents are the main teacher for a child to grow and develop everything.

As far as I know, gambling if it comes at an age and understanding of the world of finance is low, there will be problems in the future, because gambling will change a person if that person does not have principles and maturity in himself, so even if we are a gambler, never show our gambling activities in front of children because it will endanger our children.

Irrespective of how you think gambling, it is an adult practice and it shouldn't be introduced to kids as they are still in their learning and developmental stage. The parent may be very responsible in gambling, but this doesn't mean the child would, and the younger the child, the worse the effect could be. What children get to learn at a tender age often has a serious impact on their psychology, which is why it's important if parents avoid letting their children know about their gambling life, not only that, all other adult-related activities. This is unless the children got to learn it somehow, and if you are close with them, you will know pretty soon, which is where you will come in and educate them about it.

At this point, I expect such parents to talk badly about gambling to discourage the children at that age so that they will not see any light in it until they are of legal age or are mature and better able to handle adult-related things by themselves. This is what I call responsible parenting as gambling might not be entirely bad but it's entirely bad to expose young people to it, they may never recover from it.

Family education is the greatest education for a child, if he grows up with good family education from childhood then this quality of good education will remain in him throughout his life. I am not saying that gambling is a bad education but if gambling has a bad influence on him from childhood then it is not good for a child. It's not like parents are gambling so their children should be introduced to gambling from an early age but they should be given time and their brains to mature. If they decide to gamble in their mature brains that is their business but they cannot be indoctrinated with the idea of gambling from an early age and the environment at home cannot be such that gambling influences them.
