Topic: Never gamble in front of your kids. - page 64. (Read 12692 times)

The way they see ads plus seeing their parents actually doing it I guess curiosity will increase and the aim to learn is more possible as they think that it's okay learning something that the parents are also engaged with, parents or guardians needs to be more responsible in the way that guidance is needed for the children in terms of gambling.

If they see you playing the game and enjoying it, the representation may be bigger from how they picture things out from their minds, it's no longer difficult for young minds to learn and to adopt as the emerging technologies can bring them to the place where they wanted to be.

Imho, you can gamble in front of your kids as long as you have authority in their eyes or family. I assume you, your kid wont become addicted just from watching or trying to gamble. Gambling addiction is a kind of illness that isnt formed just by watching. As a parent, you would better worry about your authority, than hiding gambling hobby. Because lots of parents not just respect their parents, but trust more to things they see on the Internet and especially on YouTube. If a popular blogger says gambling is what a kid must do, then you can forbit, ban or talk as much as you want about potential addiction, it will be no use.

That is why parents must really supervise and pay attention to their children, especially in their relationships, because in this day and age, with easy access to the internet and the freedom to view anything on the internet, it can make children uncontrolled. But if there are parents who always accompany them in using the internet, their children can get a good understanding of using the internet and children also don't abuse the internet for unnecessary things. For interactions with friends, parents may also need to know their friends and who their parents are so they can communicate with each other and supervise their children. In this way, every parent can give more attention to their children. This attention is not intended to limit children's social interactions but rather to protect their children from taking the wrong path.

Parents also need to pay attention to their activities so that if parents want to gamble, they have to gamble elsewhere so that their children do not see their gambling activities. This is to prevent their tendency to imitate what their parents do.

Yes, maybe it's not a lack of love but the parents are too busy with their work so the parents don't pay enough attention to their children. And if children prefer to be close to their friends where their friends still need attention from their parents, problems may occur that could develop into serious problems.

Apart from that, parents also need to supervise their children's use of gadgets because with the internet and the ease of using internet access, their children can abuse the internet if their parents do not supervise them. Indeed, this requires attention from parents so that they can continue to look after their growing children so that they do not take the wrong path.

Everyone is greedy for money. And when one knows that there is a chance of winning a huge amount from gambling then one does not hesitate to jump into gambling no matter how risky it may be, be it a minor or an adult. And therefore gambling should not be done in front of children.  Because when a child sees his parents gambling then no fear of gambling works in him.  He also considers gambling as a common thing and does not hesitate to gamble. Therefore, gambling in front of children is not advisable at all

Gambling is an inappropriate activity to engaged in when one knows fully that he's very terrible when it comes to betting, but still ignorant and go ahead to place a wager on games, which will results to losses at the end of the day. It's such a horrible thing to do, gambling infront of the kids, they're wise and fast in thinking, they're keen to anticipate in any activities they witnessed with their very naked eyes. Curiosity is another attributes that drives them to become more desperate to widened their knowledge, gambling is shown on TV programs and on our mobile phones inform of ads, just apply precautionary measures when contacting the kids.

How long for a "child" to find out that gambling is not good for them? Curiosity is the only thing that will come into their mind. Thinking of why their parents do gambling, what they gain, and if they enjoy it.

A child will only realize it when he grows up and becomes responsible in life. It's not sooner, but it will take a lot of years to pass before that happens. He may end up in the same situation as the parent, or create his path in or out of gambling, depending on how gambling will affect his life. So it's not good to gamble in front of your kid/s, this will become the starting point of them getting into gambling addiction.

It is possible to gain curiosity in their mind but sooner, they will also find out that gambling is not good for them. It doesn't mean that because they saw their parent gambling, they will become a gambler when they grow old. I'd say no because becoming a gambler is a choice, it was not inherited. So, therefore, it was okay for them to see us gambling as long as we still had time with them and explained what is gambling all about. Because at the moment they will understand what is gambling, they could also think about what will happen to them and their future if they get into gambling addiction.

Actually, it's not because of a lack of parental love, but because of several factors and there are no parents who don't love their children, perhaps because of work factors that make children feel a lack of love. The reason is, currently married couples choose to work to meet their living needs and other needs, thus making their children feel less love.
And for this problem, it would be better for a mother not to have to work outside so that she can always control her child well, including using gadgets. And a housewife can also make money even if she has to stay at home, with work related to online, selling or so on.
And if parents like to gamble, they should hide it from their children.

Both points are valid, people nowadays specially those parents are busy taking care of their child needs I mean physical needs but in terms of good guidance most of the time parents allow children to use mobile devices, bringing those devices to lessen the time that they need to spend with their kids, in terms of friends that's the after effect if parents don't have the time for their kids, they will be closer to their friends and the risk that they may be encourage to do something that not going to be good in the eyes of their parents.

And with that statement regarding with parents showing that they are participating in gambling, that alone can influence kids that they are doing the right things and it's not bad imitating that same activities.

Lol, why are you promoting "harmful negative activity" in your signature then? What if any kid would notice it wants to try to play that funny falling balls game?

You know what is harmful activity also? Every professional sport. Sport in general help to improve health. Professional sport not. Just take the fact that every single professional athlete has an injury and he is lucky if he has just one. So what then, never take kids to stadiums to watch sports live? Because they might want to become a professional athlete and most likely will get a minor injury already during training session.

There is no guarantee of a bright future for children because it depends on how parents can educate their children and support their children's growth and development. Nowadays, many children don't get enough love from their parents, which makes them look for other ways and they find that their friends can provide protection or other things they need. It makes them closer to their friends and not to their parents. If parents have a bad influence on their children, their children will also imitate what their parents do. If they often see their parents gambling, there is a possibility that their children will also gamble and they will do it with their friends. Parents must be careful if they want to gamble by not showing it to their children to avoid their children's curiosity and curiosity.

To ensure a bright future of children, no harmful and negative behavior should be done in front of them. Children especially have a soft mind and can learn many important things from the environment. Therefore, any harmful negative activity like gambling should never be done in front of children. As adults we need to continue this responsible work and convince others that gambling should never be done in front of children.

You have a point, but when the curiosity hits the child, there's a possibility that in the near future that they will more likely to engage in gambling, also it's just not being addictive but there's also different factors that may affect the child while they are growing up like poor mental health, emotional problems and school difficulties. it shows that the environment that a child grows up will be the reason of developing a gambling addiction. As we all know that parents should be the important role model
for their child, they may come to reflect their parents attitude and behaviours about gambling.

A child watching his or her father or mother gambling does not necessarily become a gambling addict automatically, let's try to get our facts right always.
A child watching his or her parents while they gamble can't still gamble until such a child is of age, atleast from 10, 12 to 15 years of age when they probably already own their own smart phone or are getting some pocket money from the parents.

A child can watch an adult gamble and possibly won't understand exactly what the adult is doing, the child may possibly assume that the adult is playing some random video game, a child can only know that you are gambling only when you decide to tell them so.

Children are very quick to imitate every actions of adults around them and because gambling is one activity that isn't supposed to be introduced to children under the age of 18, it's absolutely wrong for adults to or parents to gamble in front of kids as it'll potentially make them to end up as gambling addicts.
Children aren't good at making decisions and doesn't know the implications of gambling so introducing them to gambling is a way of ruining their future.

Isn't it our own personal prestige when we gamble and our children were unaware, what do they have to gain in seing us gambling than first them to also learn how to do so, but we begin to wonder on how they will get the money to do so, and it's either by a legal means or forcefully, they will begin this right with their parents from home before it leads them outside, we need to value our integrity with the children by what we exposed them to, in other for us not to be at fault over them in what they becomes later in life.

While it presents us with limitless information, not all of it is constructive or age-appropriate, especially for the vulnerable minds of children. And yes, gambling is a threat, but the concern deepens when we delve into the unrestricted access children have to explicit content. Its a critical matter, indeed.

This rapid rise of internet accessibility is a call for parents to step up their game. Its not just about awareness but actively participating in monitoring and educating. I mean, isnt it the very essence of responsible parenting? We're talking about molding the future of an individual here. They need guidance, they need understanding, and they need consistent surveillance to ensure they are exposed to whats right and protected from whats not. Its a serious job, and one that requires all hands on deck.

Sad reality that parenthood needs to address that easy access to anything can really harmed our kids, what more if they see us doing things like this, the implication to their mindset is that gambling is not as bad as what we are saying since they are witnessing us doing it and for sure most of the time they will see us enjoying.

It's a responsibility that we need to cater in order to guide our kids the right way, guiding them with full responsibility to make sure that they will understand the danger that can hunt them if they will proceed and take a step into gambling.

You have written a default text for that topic that was written here 100 times before. To sum up it: gambling is dangerous, kids learn fast, kids copy their parents. I can agree only with kids are fast learners. It took me few minutes to talk to them and they have realizes that they can lose a lot or all their money if they gamble careless. As well as to teach them that they can only gamble with their own money, but I also pointed out that they can do whatever they want with their money. I disagree that gambling is dangerous. Reckless gambling is, but in general it isnt. I can also start a discussion about them copying us. They are very selective. They dont copy 100% of what we do. Otherwise parents wont have to remind them to clean their rooms, do homework and etc.

Yeah, that's it.

We as parents are the ones to guide them and even if we're also gamblers, we don't want them to be like that at a young age and as they grow old, we don't have control of them anymore.

That's one of the disadvantage of internet because kids that has curious minds have all access to the internet and can search whatever they want to search like gambling.
