Topic: Never gamble in front of your kids. - page 45. (Read 9834 times)

That's actually a good point, where you just simply tell your children that it is just a simple game, but I still believed that they would still be learning that the mechanics of some games would need some bet if you do not inform them about the bad effects of gambling which they might think is normal cause they can't distinguish what's wrong and what's right. I think it's not really a good idea to bring your kids into an environment where people are betting up their money and relying on luck to win, it is not just about the game, it is that we are trying for them to not adapt and learn this kind of habits cause not only that they are a good imitator but also environment influence their behavior. When the time comes they encounter a gambling game that is familiar to them, for they are gonna be interested in playing it and it will continue which might lead to addiction. It's really much better for them to understand and learn when they can already decide for their own.

Though gambling isn't that bad for our kids to know because it's rather they're taught on the advantages and disadvantages of gambling by their parents than to allow them to grow up and be influenced to play gamble by their friends. It is very advisable for parents to teach and educate their children on this that can damage their lifestyle at an early age because if we do that they are going to grow up with what they are taught by their parents and it will make them to understand they dangers that surrounds taking such actions.

For me hiding ones gambling habit from the kids is not to good because whatever thing you're hiding from your kids one day they will definitely find out what you're hiding away from then so when they are aware of things you do that isn't really that good it will enable the kids to abstain from such practices when they are growing up. Even if they are to partake in that habit but they will be responsible in it since they've been taught about the do and don't by their parents.

Yes, that's right, in general, the assumption of people will be like that, that they think that children of that age will not be able to build their own involvement in gambling, at first glance, yes, it makes sense with the limitations that children have, but that's not entirely because obviously anything can happen unexpectedly. Your statement makes sense, that usually small children will be faster in responding and learning everything just by seeing other people do it, in addition to a child who is still unstable their curiosity level is very high, for anything that is fun then they will quickly understand it. Like using a cellphone, even though there are no special lessons for them to understand how a cellphone works but with the passage of time and with the childhood intelligence they have it is not uncommon to find children of that age who are already proficient in operating cellphones, it is one of the things that is unexpected.

So from that it is really not recommended for every parent to gamble in front of their child or around their child's environment. After all, there are still many other places and times for you to gamble, if you insist and do not care about the advice of others then it is the same as you risking your child's future as a result of uncontrolled gambling, so it's better to just avoid it.

Well, to be honest, I don't see anything really important here, playing gambling games in front of children is absolutely no big deal, children love games, and even if they don't know how to play, they would love to watch their parent playing games as watching can also be fun.

And why i said I see no big deal in this is that, like you said, children can not differentiate good from bad, same way they can not differentiate a gambling game from a normal video game which alot of our children play this days.

If you are gambling, like playing a slot game, there is no way your child will know that you are gambling except you tell him or her, what he or she will understand is that you are playing a game, simple.

And if you want, you can one day download a video game from Google playstore or iPhone app store and give the child to play, and make him or her understand that that was the same game he or she watched you play the other day, this way, they won't ever know anything about gambling until they grow up and start mingling with people outside like in school or so, who they may learn such thing if people they mingle with are people who already know about gambling.

Kids are always try to learn what are their elder doing. We are always follow their parents and try to learn then what is the parents activity the sea what are they doing and after that they try to do it there own. If you gamble in front of your children definitely they will do it. That's why childrens follow their parents so I never prefer a parents to do gamble in front of their children.

Children are very good imitators, they try to imitate whatever they see from their parents because they cannot distinguish between good and bad, it is very right that you at least realize this, maybe you did not even think that it would be affected before, but after the questions he asked you, you seem to regret it.

I think it will not affect him too much because you are aware of this and you are aware of this. You are looking for ways to keep him away from games or you have convinced him that it is a game for adults. Gambling games should never be played in the presence of children. I hope this title will raise awareness for all gamblers.

This is the reality that those individuals who are far from their homes and parents are more likely to involved in bad activities as compared to those who are living in their homes. The major reason behind this is that parents have no access to them so they cannot observe their activities.

Community of friends will show that what kind of person you are. So if your friends are not involved in gambling and other bad activities then they will also prevent your to do so. An innocent person change his behavior very quickly once he meet with community of friends  therefore parents should check the environment of hostels and college friends so they can easily inspect the activity of their children.

Firstly, it depends on how we show it because whatever we introduce to children must still be under correct guidance so that there are no errors in understanding and parental guidance is the biggest influence on the development of children minds.
We can know that child thinking is still really unstable or has not yet developed to determine what is good and bad, so the role of parents will be very important.
So far, what child does will never be far from what their parents do although not all of them, but most of them.
For example, parents who like to drink alcohol and have children will definitely do the same in the future as their parents.

What needs to be done is to check more often and also trace what children are doing with the technology such as cellphones or pc that they use.
Maybe they can delete the search history but we can still track it and there are always conveniences that can be used.
Most children hide the activities they do because they feel afraid when their parents find out.
As parents, we must also be able to continue to provide correct education to suppress bad activities that they could do.

It's actually very dumb for any adult to think that children are mentally incapacitated to understand whatever that's happening in their surrounding. Children I think are fast learning than adults because they always want to understand everything that's visible to them and that's why they innocently try to do whatever an adult is doing before them whenever they get the chance.
Gambling in front of the kids is very bad abd the effects can be disastrous to handle because it's definitely gonna make the children get the knowledge of gambling and engage in it without knowing the consequences that comes with gambling

Some parents thinks because children are tender then their thinking will be so low that they won't understand what is happening. Children easily learn things easily and if they get to know anything about gambling they would want to try it to see how the result will be like . Parents needs to be conscious in their gambling activities,  to make it very secretive act that their kids don't need to know about.  

Growing up I came across kids who got familiar with gambling which they always tried their best to raises fund in any way just to satisfy their gambling urge, and this became a serious problem for them to stop.

Yes, that's right, because children are good imitators, that's why never show bad behavior or activities in front of children, they will be very quick to imitate and do what their parents do, that's why I always take great care of my gambling activities, for example in a closed room where I gamble. just for myself as well as making sure my child is asleep so I can gamble in peace.

Apart from parents, sometimes children often imitate whatever they see out there and we can't stop that, let alone control them completely, of course it will damage their privacy as a child. That's why keep giving directions when a child, for example, asks about gambling, make sure to provide a clear explanation. be sensible and don't pressure the child to stay away from it but explain that it is very dangerous to play with.

Yes that's right, even though they basically give their children an understanding of gambling activities that should not be done and imitated, it still doesn't always rule out the possibility that they won't do it, of course underage children won't care too much about what you say in my opinion and, more likely, whatever happens they will still follow what their parents are doing, because usually children will be more motivated when they see what other people do, especially their parents, rather than advice.

They think that their parents just did it so that means it doesn't matter if they also do the same thing. Therefore, of course the best thing is that you better not gamble if you are hanging out with your children, and if you are gambling and then the children approach you then it is better to immediately close your gambling, don't let them see what you are doing, it doesn't matter anyway you still have another time to continue your gambling, that's the point because I'm sure all parents don't want their children to enter this activity because there is a very high risk and it can threaten their future.

If you yourself gamble in front of children and teach them that gambling is not a good thing and gambling harms us financially.  Yet children will be encouraged to gamble because you are playing. Therefore, gambling should be kept away from children. Because your happiness will not hesitate to ruin your child's future. you may gamble for fun but if it is in front of your child it will definitely harm your child and make him addicted to gambling. So a conscious parent will never gamble in front of their children

There's always a way to keep it a secret with kids. In online casino games, it will be difficult but with sports betting it is easy. Time the bet when the kids are sleeping, don't do it while the game is live and they are fully awake and will watch the game with you.
Somehow they won't know that you put a bet on one of your favorite teams, they will just realize that you do love the game because you are cheering so hard that you want your preferred team to win badly. 
Been doing it for a long time and up until now my kids ain't asking about anything about it. Also, help themselves to keep their innocence of gambling by taking away all the advertisements about gambling on their smartphones, which means a daily checkup of their watched history and the ads that are popping out with what they watch. It's a lot of work but it's worth it to keep the habit intact.

Awareness will lead them  to be more curious from what they are witnessing from the activities of their parents, if you care about them and you don't like them to learn and understand how gambling works, better  to keep your gambling activities away from the sight of your kids.
Though there are different points of views and different approaches in terms of how parents engage and the way they wanted to let their kids know how gambling may affects them.

Because at the age of children, they are at the age of introduction. at that age they are in their learning period, so they will learn the things they see in front of them, and curiosity at an early age (children) is high so most of them will explore the things they just saw. It is not recommended to gamble in front of children, because they may be curious and want to know more, if they find out maybe their future will depend on gambling as well as young people who are addicted to gambling.

With the development of technology today, gambling is also busy everywhere, especially now that there is online gambling that can be accessed by anyone and anywhere without knowing caste and age limits. And I see that nowadays children who are good at playing cell phones, this is vulnerable for them to get to know gambling by themselves, because online gambling advertisements are also busy on the internet at this time, it is small or large the possibility that they will see gambling advertisements, so parents still have to be aware of their children who often or are good at playing cell phones. Do not let them get to know gambling at an early age because it can have a dangerous impact on them in the future.

children learn more from observation and ones they start growing up, they start practicing what they've observed there parents doing. It is a very wrong practice to assume that because they are under that they will not understand what you are doing. As much as it is in your power, protect them from what they might not be able to control themselves in if they get themselves into. As an adult you can control your gambling limit but for a young person that is not all that matured to making the right decisions, might be difficult for them. Apart from gambling, there are things you shouldn't do in from of your children matter how tender they are.

The important thing is that we can keep our gambling activities under control. If we really want to hide our gambling activities from our children, we really have to be able to do it and not gamble if we are with them so they won't wonder what it is about. Children can understand and record visuals well so they can record what they see in what we do and they may be able to practice it straight away without our help. That's what we have to keep away from them so that their curiosity doesn't arise and we should give them something appropriate for their age so that they can enjoy something appropriate for them. We can continue gambling maybe after they are asleep or are out of the house so that none of our children will notice or want to know what we are doing.

You are right, it would be better for us to avoid gambling in front of children because if they find out about gambling earlier of course they will have the desire to try it and this will not be very good for them and their parents, if we don't want our children to gamble then we have to can control the gambling activities that we do in front of them and it is also very bad if a wife scolds their husband about gambling in front of their children because this will be a bad thing for the children.

Gambling in some parts of the world is what they survive with,they teach their children from young age how to gamble,they do not hide it from their children because they know there is no other good source of income.In such part of the world,they do not know the harm caused by their activities,rather they fill their children can sometime be lucky to win big,and they will all merry the money paid to them.While in some countries,gambling is something only few people do because it is a thing that can cause the downfall of a man,it can also cause death.It is in such countries that they do not allow their children see them while gambling,they try as much as possible to make sure their children do not pass on the land they passed,so they hide it from them.
