Finally someone else understand that explaining and educating always wins against banning and keeping in secret or silent. Finally someone else thinks like a parent that cares about his kid, instead of just say NO without giving an explanation. I keep on saying that it is better to explain, then the kid eventually (and he will do it) spot you gambling and start asking questions.

I am just curious, if a person tries not to gamble in front and all of a sudden kids notice you gambling, what will be his next step? That person stops gambling? Explain? Continue after saying something like "go to your room".

I think that few parents initiate a conversation about gambling with the purpose of explaining why they do it. Usually such conversations happen situationally. Either there is some external example that entails such a discussion, or the child catches the parent in the act of gambling. In any case, I believe that the parent should be much more interested in building a trusting relationship with the child, which is impossible if the child is simply forbidden from something without explaining the reasons. In the long run, the parent who is in dialogue with the child will win.

telling children about gambling and giving them a definite explanation can be done when they are old enough and already know the outside world, because when they are adults they will certainly now know about gambling which is often done by young people. so monitoring them is a must even though we can't do it all day long but we must still be aware of what habits are done by children and if they do know gambling then it is better to give an explanation about gambling so that they are not reckless in making decisions.

When we forbid something without explaining it, then they will be curious about it, well usually they will find out for themselves why their parents forbade it and if they make the wrong move then they might become someone who is addicted. I understand that parents' love cannot be explained, they will want something good that their children can do.
A good step is to explain in as much detail as possible about gambling once they are ready to listen, what gambling is, what risks can be felt when gambling and so on. I am sure that if they are given an explanation like that they will also understand why it is better to avoid gambling, and even if they do gamble they will really understand the risks and they will be able to apply limits and such so that they gamble responsibly. In this day and age, it's useless to keep something a secret, especially if it's online-based, it will be easy for them to find out independently.

because children copies any action demonstrated by parents neither the mother or the father and children doesn't tell lies and that's why we have to keep on telling our children the truth and also show them the way if they copies it we will be glad and grateful not gambling.

Whether a kid tells lies or not depends on his age and the consequences of telling the truth. You wouldn't expect a child not to lie if he will be punished for telling the truth. Parents and child relationships should be simple. Kids are easygoing when their parents are kind to them. Talking to kids about gambling is an acceptable practice for any parent.

The society consists of gamblers. To be safe, our kids require little education on gambling. Parents who do not engage their kids in gambling information are grooming their children to lie about their gambling activities in the future. such a kid wouldn't feel comfortable talking to his parents about his gambling habit, because he thinks punishment awaits him.

very rarely there are children who can really honestly tell the truth, children tend to lie when they are in high school and I think that is because they are influenced by their surroundings because even though they are well educated with their parents who teach them not to lie but who would have thought that outside relationships could influence them. although of course all parents hope that their children do not lie but I am sure that sometimes their children have lied even with small things.

telling children about gambling and giving them a definite explanation can be done when they are old enough and already know the outside world, because when they are adults they will certainly now know about gambling which is often done by young people. so monitoring them is a must even though we can't do it all day long but we must still be aware of what habits are done by children and if they do know gambling then it is better to give an explanation about gambling so that they are not reckless in making decisions.

Yeap, they are like sponge, but they dont consume everything they see. I wish they would copy me (and be as cool as me lol), but she is very shy with making new friends. Cant teach my girl that vegetables are better than sweets and snacks. Why, if I eat salad with meat all the time, she prefer french fries and maybe a tiny bite on the meat? Why I have to tell all the time to clean her room, even though we had order and clean other rooms? Why she likes to draw, even though nobody in our family draws. Anyway, you can do many thing in front of them, but you can never tell what your kid will be interested in in 5 or 10 years. And we here talk about far future like 20+ years…

You're right, and the best thing we can give them is the correct education, taking them down the path of sport, of culture, all of this is what we Should take the children to , it's not that we are going to exploit them, but we do have to appreciate all that culture, I tell my children to learn languages, especially Church, German, French, so that they are advanced beings and that they know how to defend themselves, not so much that they are professionals but that they use the best knowledge so that they can live a quiet and safe life, games of chance are now for Adults , and it will continue to be that way, that's why they have their own Games.

actually children is supposed to keep apart in anything that relates with gambling, I know very well that gambling is good for adults alone not for kids that doesn't know the consequences of gambling, that's why we kept lamenting we don't need to do anything that relates with gambling in the presence of our children, because children copies any action demonstrated by parents neither the mother or the father and children doesn't tell lies and that's why we have to keep on telling our children the truth and also show them the way if they copies it we will be glad and grateful not gambling.

It is possible to prevent adults from participating in gambling in front of children but how can you prevent a child from the influence of online gambling? Perhaps you can convince the elders of the family that the children should not participate in gambling in front of them as role models.
But if you want to prevent children from online gambling, banning the use of mobile phones and social media advertising is very difficult. Neither we nor you will ever be able to ban the use of mobile phones which is why we may not be able to keep future children free from the effects of gambling no matter how hard we try.

And this is what makes things that become that hard as a parent on which there's no way that you could really be able to stop or able to detect it out considering that it would really
that be seen online and cant really be able to detect it out into its earliest time. This is why it would really be that recommended that having some open forum up with your kids once in a while
and telling on what things that should be avoided and trying out to ask if there's something wrong or problems. Everything would really be starting into your own home on which simply means
that values could really be that obtained if the parents are really that teaching up their kids well but of course it cant be perfect because there would really be those kids who do end up
on the different path despite of such educating them about on the right things around.

Want it or not, they will find out about gambling one day, and I really doubt that it will happen only when they are adults already. So my advice as a parent to parent, find some free time to think about gambling and kids, and telling what it is, so it wont hit you suddenly. Have a back-up plan. Dont know what is a situation with gambling in your family, but imho it is better if your kid will be prepared to it, instead of one of his friends say "I know one cool game, wanna see it?".

That's the dangerous part of the society most kids won't escape. Schools, environment, neighbors, and organisations are all that contributes to a child's thoughts and beliefs. Kids are not born for one person to groom, so, it's the duty of parents to take seriously where they send their children.

Apart from the things you have mentioned, I will give special importance to the child's environment. Basically, if children grow up in an environment where gambling has an influence, they will definitely become addicted to gambling at some point. Children from different backgrounds come to school and if someone is not in good company at that time, he may turn to bad ways. His parents have to be the most careful during this period. Here, if a child learns something bad, other children will be encouraged to do the same. That's why every child's parents should be careful about their child especially during the time when he can be affected by the environment.

Kids are curious by nature, so if they are presented with a new game that seems harmless they may try it with the intent to obtain some fun, however since they do not have enough experience, it is easy for them to not understand the consequences of their actions, it is because of this that parents need to be very careful at that stage on their development, as a bad influence at the time can change the life of their kids forever, since there is no doubt that a kid should not be exposed to gambling at such an early age.

As long as you're a gambler it might get into you child to be a gambler that's if he wants because the world today is just exposed to so many things, you hide it from your children doesn't mean they won't learn it from outside and they might even be a bettter than you are if care isn't taken. So I'd say, as parents do your part and let nature take it's cause. You can gamble in front of your kids and he or she might just over look it, like not having it in mind to try it, that's life, is all about choice.

Not everything is genetically passed down, habits are self cultured activities and not hereditary features, a gamblers offspring might be addicted to something else apart from gambling it all depends on what the child exposes his or herself to..life is based on choices and decisions we make, habits are developed and definitely not passed down...not gambling in front of kids doesn't mean you are saving them from doing it entirely but you are protecting them from the influence at their tender age

I disagree with you on the habits, they can be genetically passed down just the way they could be self-cultured. There are things people do and when it is checked in the genetic lane, they would be surprised that you took it after some family member was either long gone or still alive. That is the power of genes, it does not only show in the physical but also behavioural.

Regardless, if you expose your children to what they are not mature for, it's all your fault and we can't call that genetic again as it's obvious that you caused it. Children cannot crave what they are not exposed to at a tender age.

The most importand is to give kids a proper education, love, understanding value of a family, proper explanation what is good or wron, support them. Do it through their life or until they turn 18 as minimum. Try to lead them while they grow and you can do whatever you want in from of them, as they will understand the consequences, responsibility of their deeds.

If you manage to explain that in general to much gambling causes addiction, but you gamble for fun rarely, then there is a high chance you can gamble harmlesly ib front of them.

That's the best we can give them. Wisdom.

As long as our child knows what we have been through and what they will be through, I guess we can straighten up everything for them. A child who has seen his parents work hard for them and also give them everything so they can be a better person in the future will be thankful one through their manners.
A gambling addict will probably have a hard time doing that but a gambler who keeps his gambling habit a secret and can be responsible in his activity and with his family will never experience a difficult time with his kids. Discipline is not one way, we also have to discipline ourselves in order to be respected.

If a child is not familiar with gambling, does not have a huge desire for more money (why would he need money, if parents provide them with everything), his greed isnt evolved much at this age, then ehy do you think after a first loss money (suppose pocket money or money he has saved), he will have a wish to continue or to play back his money?

I can draw a parallel to fathers who take their sons on a hunt. When they see father shoots the prey and is happy about it, they dobt immediately turn into hunters, animal shooters for fun or addicted to shooting.

As a family it is everyone's responsibility and duty to ensure the human rights of the child born in their family and to ensure their proper growth. What is the environment of growing up and what the child is taught by the family is very important because the future depends on the child's childhood. If a child grows up in an environment where he is not taught good manners and sees various misdeeds, then he will commit those misdeeds in the future.

Every child should not be involved in gambling until they reach adulthood. He should be kept away from these till 18 years and try to educate him properly then when the child becomes an adult he will be able to take his own decisions and then he will not be much wrong in his decision making.

keeping children free from conflict? They are not getting any benefits from that. Life is cruel, consequently kids must learn how to fight fairly. Avoiding conflicts? They'll go out the door and find themselves blindsided. Show them conflict; then, show them how to manage it. That is the actual learning curve

Independence is It's not about tossing them into the deep end and screaming, "Swim! Show them the strokes; then, let them paddle on their own. Not a drop-off; this is a dance. See them, change, let go somewhat more every time

This is survival, not only about freedom. The planet is a strange place with lots of unknowns and inconsistencies. Give your children the tools to negotiate that turbulence; they will emerge from it stronger on the other side.

I myself might be better off not showing conflict or violence to children because I think it's not good for them to see at their age which is still not mature enough, but maybe for you and some other people the way to educate them is different but that is each person's choice because I think everyone must have a choice that they think is the best choice for them, I respect your opinion.

of course teaching them the ways is the same as teaching them well, that's what all parents should do to their children. but the lessons and education taught by each parent are different maybe some do teach in detail by teaching step by step and some are also firm by letting them learn on their own or what is called autodidact. this is not a problem in my opinion because every parent certainly has their own portion in educating their children. but I think gambling in front of children is not an education that should be done.

I was pondering how trending exercises flew quickly to different schools before the internet. I was surprised to see that people in other countries played some local games we learned in our environment. For example; the soccer game we played as kids with bottle caps. Then I realized that the internet made information flow faster. Before then, travelers passed information across societies, environments, schools, etc.

Children now need to handle both the internet and travelers, new students, friends, and companions. These people all arrive with new ideas and mentality, and new things are always accepted by kids. Hence, parents who restrict kids from screen time should double up to observe their real-time experiences with friends and schoolmates.

Exactly, they will try to imitate us curios if why we are doing something especially if they see that we are enjoying or being entertain of what we are doing in front of them, gambling is not exempt as if they see us and watch us while we are engage and they see or feel the excitement that we are producing while playing.

That's true, we are going to be their reference of what they do. My kid has been imitating what I do and as in everything and that's why I off limits when I gamble and don't show it.

That kind of interest will begin to linger on them, thinking that they should also learn it, even in an early stage child, they are already curios about things that they are witnessing from their parents/guardians.

And that's why we need to be responsible parents too.

Don't show them what we don't like to see them do. That's how it should be.

Because their behaviors depends on who they listen to, and what they see. It's not necessarily about gambling around the kids. They can get exposed to the wrong clique that'll initiate a wrong gambling perspectives.

And it will be worse if he finds out from his friends. He is curious and then tries it. And because you really forbid him from gambling, he will gamble secretly behind your back. This will be really bad. Don't gamble in front of your children but you have to educate your child about gambling and give him a good choice not to gamble because we don't know whether he will get addicted or not.

Gambling should be a regular conversation that parents need to bring up before their kid does—children in areas where gambling thrive desire to know more about gambling. Parental duties demand complete care for the kids. The scheduled gambling talks help to dilute whatever idea the child's peer has instigated in him on gambling. Parents can learn talking to kids about gambling;
