Topic: Never gamble in front of your kids. - page 51. (Read 12632 times)

Why refrain, if the best option would be to talk, show, teach and make them understand, if you say they dont know what gambling is? Important, I advice to do that not prepare them for gambling, but to prepare for future life and consequences.

I find it hard to understand why parents always choose easy mode called ban, prohibition, taboo? Instead of teaching, spending time, checking if kids understand. You have mentioned money. Then its parents duty to earn more, so kid wont have an idea to earn now (they will have plenty of work when they grow up) to help parents. You have mentioned strong emotions - parents should warn kids about that, give examples, try to substitute them with emotions they could get from elsewhere.

Parents easily destroy kids vision of life with a little word "NO". Hard to understand when you do something, but if kid wants to do it also or ask about it and parents just say NO. Easy to say NO. Hard to explain and wait till kid understand your point agrees to that.

This is a very correct idea, because children always copy the behavior and activities of their parents, and only then they understand the meaning of what they are doing. In fact, they rely entirely on their parents' activities, adopting them, and do not know whether they are doing something good or something bad now.

Therefore, it is better to refrain from gambling of any kind with children, it is too early for them to deal with such money and such strong emotions.

It is true that thanks to the internet parents are not really the main influence on their kids anymore, and their friends or even a stranger living in a different country could have more influence than their parents.

But at the same time if parents take care of their kids and they have an idea of what they are doing online, they can prevent their kids from watching inappropriate content with the help of filters that may not allow those topics to be viewed or simply by guiding their kids and keeping them away from gambling, as it is clear they are not ready to undertake gambling at such an early age.

Yes I mean that is the best option for now, here in country or at least where I live we rarely gamble in front of everyone, we just keep it for ourselves because in here when someone sees we do gamble they gonna judge in a bad way and also police might arrest you https://nasional.kompas.com/read/2023/08/31/11345031/warga-diimbau-tak-main-judi-online-bandar-dan-pemainnya-bisa-kena-pidana this is the news but in Indonesia language.

So even your relationship sometimes doesn't know you do gamble  so its good choice to keep it secret especially with the kid. the curiosity of kid is at high level

We have to be careful with this because the social interactions of today's children are very different from those of a few years ago. With the ease of Internet connection that children can get, it triggers them to find out about many things that they don't even deserve to see. We must be able to guide children well and correctly so that our children are not influenced by what their friends do and so that our children can get along well. If we as parents can give them an understanding of the negative impacts of gambling and they can understand, they will not want to try it and will even continue to avoid it. Even if his friends invite him to gamble, they will not want to follow him and choose to stay away from those who want to gamble.

As parents, we can try what you do to supervise and guide children so that they can develop well without having to experience problems like other children face. You are lucky to be able to work from home, so you can also supervise and be close to your children, so you know what they are doing. We as parents must always try to be close to them so that they can tell us many things and ask questions only to us as people they trust. We have to keep them away from gambling, and if we want to place bets, we should do it when they are asleep or not at home. Children now tend to have a high curiosity, so they will try to ask their parents or the adults around them. And if we are not nearby while they want to ask, they will probably ask someone else, and the answer may need to be understood by them. That's why we as parents must always be careful with the activities we do and don't make them curious about what we are doing, especially when we are gambling, and they see it accidentally.

As a parent I always try to be aware of those things, what they watch, the attention they need, and everything that could possibly affect their social skills.
I work at home and my kids always see what I do so as much as possible I need to be careful with what I watch, what I do, and all that browse on the internet.
Gambling is part of that. I always bet on sports, but they don't see it because usually, I input my bets at night when they are in bed already. Although, in the morning they will listen to how I react while watching the game. Well, it will just look like I love the sport so much that I react in a way that I cheer loudly for the team that I bet for. They won't know that there's money on the line because they didn't see that I made a bet.
Every little thing that we do can be big for them. There will be times they will ask questions because those are curiosity that is natural with kids and we should answer them as best as we can without damaging their innocence.
It's not easy being a parent and we must be careful when they should know things, slowly at the appropriate age so they won't end up doing things unnatural for kids.

I also think that with their age, which has not been monitored if they are still under 18, they know, if they have entered at the age of 20, maybe they will know for themselves what gambling is because the current association must also know a lot about online gambling which is currently busy in the community, so if you gamble, don't gamble in front of children who are not old enough, because it could dominate them, they will do it later.

In their adult age they will know about gambling by themselves, so if we gamble in front of children there is a possibility that they will do it later, but if they know by themselves at an adult age, I think they can choose which things are good and which halls are bad for themselves and their future. So if we like to gamble, don't gamble in front of children, it's better to hide it.

I've mentioned this before but I studied probability and statistics and it was one of my best subjects ever.  I had a natural interest and did well, not often I got A grades but I did in that particular study which was lucky because it was half the marks counting for my higher maths qualifications.   A very applicable and useful subject to study because it crosses over into so many subjects, from engineering to economics and also gambling its a good way to study results and how you might do best in a game imo.    Partly its a way to a good lens to view data or game results is it helps remove your emotion from wins vs losses, its a good study or stabilization to your reckoning of the game well worth a try if at all possible.  Some websites will aid players in giving statistics for various situations and outcomes, blackjack most famously, poker, etc.

This do proves out that not everything that could be seen will really be leading for their kids on doing something which we should realized that if we do speak about engagement then everything could really be that possible knowing that tons of external events and factors on which it could really affect up yourself in terms of those exposure on which it could really be that possibly be ending up
on dealing up something even though you arent seeing these things your parents that been doing. It isnt really just that right all the time that parents should really be taken the blame.
It is really just that there are times that a certain individual are the ones who should really be getting blamed on the moment that they are experiencing something due to the bad decisions
that they are making on which its not right on trying out to blame your parents.

When a person is addicted, they should never show it to their children , because it is a problem that they can clearly see that someone has problems and that is not well seen, in fact, a person who has that should be distancing themselves and act normally  , not with that anxiety, because a child is like a sponge, they always come and copy , that is something that we must take care of, sometimes it is very prudent to have as a basis that things are more focused on the enjoyment of a activity, and knowing how to Enjoy, many may say we are going to enjoy a casino , but for them to enjoy it, they confuse it with wasting money and that is not something that can be Beneficial, because in part we enter a casino to play, to having fun and always looking for a Way to Win, it Wouldn't be fun to make bets, of course, you have to be careful with many things , first of all be careful with everything, and especially with the way you Play.

Many in their way of playing games always put things like self-control and self-control, they don't have it, so they usually stick to getting things from where they are not doing well, that is, if I have 100usd to spend and suddenly it is gone in 3 plays because I bet a lot, we do not have to put more money in, because that would be one of our own broken rules, and it is not well seen and even though it can be done, it is very probable that that other money is lost, because the Pressure will be gone. of wanting to recover the old money that was lost, those are things that we should never do for anything in the world, because this is what we have to see as beneficial for a casino, a casino wins because of the desperation of the people , and Because people always Seek to have more profits but following the path of lasemoines and that is what makes them lose and Lose a lot of money, it is not Viable, and I think that shows.

I never saw my parents gamble but found myself in front of a dealer's table sometimes. It's the same as smoking I never saw my parents smoke but got myself a pipe.
What influences a kid is always their peers and I found them in school as they accepted me. If it were just the Pokemon boys who became my friends, I would have been holding high-value cards already.

First of all, I will like to point out to you to try and make use of punctuations in your comment, as without it, or proper use of it, your comment will completely lack sense, and readers will hardly understand what you are saying.

Now, back to what is being discussed, I have always been of the opinion that, playing gambling games in front of our children means nothing, a child who will grow up to gamble will still learn to gamble no matter how secretive the parents of that child are or were, there a alot of children who do a lot of bad things today all around the world, does it mean that all of them learn those bad things from their parents? Of course not, I can personally tell that, children learn alot more from their friends in school, more than they learn from their parents.
So if there is one thing we can do for our children, for their safety, is for us to monitor the kinds of company or group of people they go out with as friends, hiding our gambling activities from our children will not stop them from gambling if they have and keep friends who are gamblers.

Agree with  this mate even though how Careful some parents do their children but still we can not deny the fact that their are some neighbors who actually influence their children and not just neighbors but also social media nowadays there are a lot of bad things they can see, and that's the reason why other parents got shocked why their children knew about gambling even though they are not telling them about that thing .

This means that every parent must be concerned about the development of their children and supervise them well so that they do not get involved in problems. Their parents can teach them other things which can also make them interested in trying them, and that can give their children education in other things.

Every parent wants their children to have a better life than their parents. And this has been happening for a long time, where parents always try to give their best to their children. But because their children socialize in the wrong way, they end up getting involved with the wrong things too.

In this case, we better help our kids understand what is gambling and educate them despite their young age at least they are aware of the things that possibly happen to them if they fall into gambling addictions. We don't need to wait for them to get involved because of their curiosity before telling them the truth instead, we approach them straight and tell everything. Whether they hate us or not, and hearing their sides/views might be the reason why we stop gambling forever. Of course, we don't need to show them gambling but at least we tell them that we are a gambler.

I agree with this. Age limit is established for a reason. And that reason mostly and mainly is all about the lack of capacity of the young people to fully grasp the idea of gambling and its repercussions. Even adults even have a hard time to prevent themselves from being caught up in addiction, what more a child that do not have the right mental headspace and knowledge about it. It's not really advisable to let them be introduced to it and to show them how it is done because it will just encourage them to try it due to curiosity.

Gambling introduction and explanation can come later on when they can already think thoroughly and when they can already determine which is good and which is a bad decision that could cost them their money and possibly, their future. Awareness can be given at a specific age. Not too young, and definitely not too late when they are already corrupted.

It's true, because young children are easily influenced so they can do what adults do. and if they do gambling in front of children who are not old enough to even show their gambling, then maybe they will become curious about what adults do. So it is better if we really want to gamble we know the place and know the conditions too, we can find a quiet place to do gambling because I myself like to gamble but I look for a place that is comfortable for me so that I can enjoy the journey of gambling, such as in my own room or anywhere that the point is that we also have a good mind to do gambling so that we can enjoy gambling, it is not recommended that we gamble in front of others especially in front of children. it is the wrong thing.

I don't think it's necessary to tell them about gambling, even if they know it themselves, then I have to tell them about the bad effects and very dangerous effects of gambling, so that they don't do gambling even if they only try it out of curiosity. however, children must be kept away from gambling which can ruin their lives or futures.

That is because parents are not responsible enough for preventing things like this from happening. I mean, if they have that concern and love for their young kids, preventing any attractions that will lead this little guy to gain attention is what they are going to prioritize. People who know the impact of gambling in life will care about influencing anyone, unless,

It runs into the family. I mean a culture that is adopted by each generation. We can't deny the fact that there are people who are okay or letting young kids learn to prepare them for their next journey in life.

Most parents choose to go the other way round and do whatever they want in the presence of their kids without minding the impact of their actions in the life of their kids and many times they even go as far as teaching their kids about these addictive activities,  I can imagine a father that gambles in presence of his kid,  because you are indirectly teaching them how to gamble.

There is a popular saying that children are the reflection of their parents and for that,  the parents need to be extremely careful about the kinds of things they do in the presence of kids and try as much as possible to avoid being the tool that can easily influence the kids negatively.

Children are a priority for a parent and that means of course anything that is likely to have a bad impact must be kept out of the sight of our children, not only for gambling but for other things no matter how small it must be avoided. That's right, basically a child has a very high curiosity and interest in whatever is around them and what they see, and if they see one of their parents gambling on the gadget then there is a clear possibility that a child will be interested, because as you said they like to imitate whatever is done by others especially if it can interest them and also especially if it is done by their parents.

On the other hand, I don't think you need to explain anything to your child about gambling if they have never seen gambling at all, because the theory you give will only make a child quite curious about what you mean.  But if you are caught gambling by your child some theories and advice you can give by saying that gambling is a very bad activity, and the other thing is that I think it's better to keep the discussion of gambling in front of your child, although the advice and prohibition are quite good but on the other hand it's better to keep everything secret and keep gambling out of their sight.
