Topic: Never gamble in front of your kids. - page 71. (Read 12632 times)

That means we as parents must try to hide our gambling activities from our children so they don't join in gambling too. But it would be better if we, as parents, no longer gamble so that we don't have to hide our gambling activities. Kids are smarter now and need to watch what we do and try it too.

And that's why we need to be responsible by not gambling anymore. We must be able to teach our children to be responsible for their lives from an early age. And we can teach them other things that are more fun.

The after effect of that mistake will be the problem in case the case manages to use their parents' credit cards or any financial access once they learn about that kind of gambling that they are witnessing from their parents. I get your point and that's valid in terms of how you should react once the kid gets that chance to use their parents' access.

It's an alarming though can be avoided if you are responsible enough not to show such kind of things, better to do it secretly or away from the eyes of those young minds.

I will use your example When we learned how to draw, by repeating other drawing or with help, we did not became real artists that draw masterpieces. That is why if kids see parents gamble, most likely they would also only gamble from time to time, like their parents. They wont become paranoid on gambling, have shaking hand due to desire to place a bet every time they have money. Just teach kids that gambling is hobby, entertainment, time killer, but not a way to earn or get rich. And that is it. They wont become addicted just from watching or trying to gamble themselves from time to time.

Children always try to repeat the behavior of their parents, because such actions allow them to gain new experience. Remember how we learn to draw - we just draw someone else's drawing until we start drawing it ourselves. That is why it is very important that children until adulthood do not see in the behavior of their parents that could provoke them to explore entertainment for which they are not yet ready.  

Agree with your assumption, small children are really like sponges, they are able to absorb everything around them such as information quite quickly and their memory is also still very high, therefore this is very suitable for the topic above "never gamble in front of children", none other than this is just to prevent unwanted things from happening. Honestly, I can't stop thinking if there are some of them or including their parents who teach gambling to their children, it doesn't make sense, no matter how bad the parents are, they always want the best for their children.

Fun comes first for those who are still underage, of course there is no risk that they think about, they only focus on laughing because it is very fun. Honestly, I'm sure parents will never let their children fall into gambling, they will definitely be able to answer some questions that make their children curious, and I'm sure they can distract their children from gambling with a few jokes. And yeah I agree with your analogy, it makes sense my friend.

Yes, I also admit that children nowadays are very smart because just by paying attention to what adults do, they can do it even though they are not as good as adults. They must be careful of this because if they accidentally see their parents gambling, they will probably ask many questions about the game while watching their parents gambling.

And if we're not monitoring them, they'll probably use the devices at hand and visit the casino. They will be able to find the casino and if they are smart enough to understand how it works, they will start signing up and depositing some money. Adult children may understand it because they already have their own devices.

That's not how it works all the time, there are children who get curious about almost everything they see their parents doing, and when they see them gambling, they get curious and will obviously start asking questions about it and some might even want to try it sometime, and kids of this era are very smart and they don't forget things very easily. That's why, we as parents need to be careful about what our children see us doing because those things will literally be imprinted on their minds.

It might be true that a lot of children might not be interested in the games that they see their parents playing unless it's a slot game because we all know that slot games are pretty interesting with their graphics and everything and it is fun to see the gameplay of some of the slot games like Sweet Bonanza, etc.

There is something that you say is very key in children, one is curiosity and the other is innocence, currently children have access to a lot of information, in fact now things can change for the better because basically when things are Treated like how to do well in front of our children, because there is no manual on this, but if we had good training with our parents, grandparents, uncles, then we can say that they can be more successful in regards to what has a lot to do with manners. It shows certain situations, games and relevant things that have to do with money to children, for example a book is good to give if it is by Kiyosakli's Rich Dad, Poor Dad , it Would be a very Valuable Treasure, in fact it could even be explained that when A child sees us play in a casino, it's not like we tell him that he has to put a blindfold on his eyes, because it doesn't work that way, you have to talk to them, and you have to tell them a lot about money , a child The more you know About money , Business and Everything that has to do with Accounting, the Better.

Our education is quite different from what it is now, most of us learned a type of economy that cannot be maintained today, people no longer want to be employees of companies because they have realized that the profits will never be for them. them, not even in an Acceptable percentage, and that is a bad thing, now things are more independent and it can be based on the fact that everything related to casinos and games of chance should be talked about only as a parent and not that they learn it from friends and the internet , because we are the only ones who will teach them what Type of financial Education they will learn , and that is the difference, of course, we must speak to them as honestly as possible because they are not Stupid, they know that if they read or learn on their own, Well, they will have a way to refute what we tell them , but when we speak Supported by books , that is important.

The kids accept the way of approach and way of the action by their parents.So the kids will learn the gambling from their parents easily.This will added them to the gambling after their parents.But the education never teach the kids about the gambling.If the kids from the developed countries,their opinion will be legal one.Because the developed country economy will be big and their citizens will have the enough money for the gambling.So this also made the kids to learn full gambling and play using their parents identity.Playing is not a problem,if they loss huge money from using their parents credit card will be the big loss for their parent.

Kids (bless their innocent hearts) are sponges, absorbing up everything, especially risky, gambling stuff. Ever thought about making gambling education fun? Ironic, right? Consider creating a kiddie version of gambling where they bet cookies or toys with you and lose. It's a great way to show that gambling can empty the cookie jar!

Yes, youngsters see enjoyment, not risk. The message should be tailored to them. Instead of avoiding their enquiries, answer them in a way that fits their understanding. Your kids will certainly repeat their questions; they adore a broken record. But isn't that consistent interest where grownups can smuggle in life lessons between the funny stories of losing all our cookies in a high-stakes game of "Go Fish"?

Of course, because the curiosity they feel will raise some questions when they see their parents gambling, and it is natural for a child with a lot of innocence in him, it doesn't matter if the parents think gambling in front of their children is a mistake, because of course the next time they will not do the same thing like that, but what is worried is when their parents invite or teach or answer some of their children's questions honestly or according to the facts and do not divert the conversation at all. If the parents do that then I am sure there will be a much higher curiosity from the child, they will continue to ask questions at a later time.

Basically a child who is still underage, especially one who is only 7 - 10 years old, will not really understand whether there is a risk or not, all they think about is fun for whatever comes, so of course we adults must be able to take action to prevent or minimize so that the things that are worried about do not happen. There is no other way because children will not care about anything you do, all they want is something fun, so the point is that we or the parents themselves must take precautions, that's all.

Maybe we will not be allowed to make children stay away from gambling throughout their lives, especially with the ease of accessing the internet, they can get information about gambling. But at least we have provided knowledge and information about what they should do with gambling. They can take care of themselves and try not to get involved in gambling.

We as parents must always warn them about the bad effects a person can experience if he gambles, especially if we can show that someone might lose control of themselves in gambling. A person's emotions can go up and down when they gamble. That can make them play gambling longer and possibly become addicted to gambling.

With our supervision and information, they can stay away from gambling and don't need to gamble if they want to have fun.

Never that I will do such infront of my children, yeah I cannot take it from them as
gambling is a worldwide available and at any moment as they turns mature,
for sure Gambling will cross their way.
but I will make sure that they will never this or will never be influenced by my.
instead I will keep reminding them about the negative and positive effect of gambling in their life.
as can make myself as best example to it.
I am not against gambling but if given a chance to make my children stay away from it all their life?
then that would be my  best player come true.

That is if he is someone who is responsible for his family and can think about his child future then it is impossible if he is not aware and cannot differentiate between what is good and bad for his family.
Look at what @Zanab247 said and from this case it is clearly written that his father taught his children to gamble from the age of 5 and what happened was the impact of father mistake who was unable to teach their children about it which is more positive.
It shame to read that cases like this happen.

Yes you or I are gamblers and it could be said that what we are doing is bad but still if it is related to family whether it is achildr wife or children we will definitely be more responsible or we will not let them know that we as husbands and fathers do not engage in gambling activities because it can have a negative impact on the future.

I know very well that your intentions are good but here we can learn valuable lessons from this case so that we don't make the same mistakes.

parents who gamble in front of their children are parents who lack education, because if parents can think intelligently, of course it is a very bad thing to do if they only think about themselves without thinking about the impact that will occur if you gamble in front of children.

and the bad thing is that one day when their children grow up they will do what their parents did because there is a saying that "the fruit does not fall far from the tree" so it can be concluded that if children are not taught well this will have a bad impact on their future.

Obviously, there are a lot of things that aren't supposed to be done in the presence of children and those include gambling, smoking, drinking, intimacy, or even arguments that most people do in front of their children without understanding the negative consequences that are going to have on their minds when they grow up. Children are like empty notebooks that are filled throughout their childhood, so we as parents need to make sure that our children see and learn things that will be noted in their notebook of life.

We need to do our absolute best to keep our children away from all the bad things that if they learn can make them go on the wrong path later on, and we should also keep an eye on their activities and what they do when they are alone because those are the times when they might practice things that aren't even supposed to be known by them.

some parents don't care what happens if they gamble in front of their child or not all they care about at that moment is their thicket and win, people who are addicted are careless and they are more concerned about their win if they have a friend that is addicted then you will know what am talking about.  they are always busy checking their tickets. forgetting the social impact of such behavior that children learn in different ways from sight most especially down to what they hear. Parents have to be really careful while in whatever they do in the presence of their kids to avoid children following their footsteps in addiction.

One thing I also discovered on this discussion is that the kind of games children play is different form the one gamblers used to gamble with money. Children will not paly game that will not give them join and happiness. And they like cartoon Network games. Normal casino games are boring to them so they are not even interested to play those games. And children does not like sport the games like that. Though they can play the he's with PS2, 3,4 or 5 but for them to use money bet on sport games I have not seen such in my locality.  Though it is better to caution them at the early age so that when they grow up, they will not depart from the moral caution of the father.

Being responsible is what we need, treat things base on our own experience, there are things from the past that we just got curious since we see things that being done by our parents, same deal with gambling, if our children see us doing it a normal way and they manage to feel that we are enjoying that curiosity will be build inside their young minds.

We need to understand that it is our responsibility while they are growing, better to be a good example and if ever that they cross this path we still need to give them good guidance and be there as always to remind and advice not to do deeper to avoid reaching addiction.

Its funny how children's curiosity can raise so many questions, isnt it? Children, with their infinite curiosity and pure joy, discover happiness in simple things. A bubble, cardboard box, or simple game can delight and amaze them, which is funny. You're suggesting introducing children to a sophisticated world like gambling would be confusing and dangerous, right? Since infants absorb information like sponges, one cannot overlook the prospective consequences.

What happens when a parent's harmless hobby, like playing poker with pals, fascinates their child? Isn't it a mess? Kids might be curious, ask questions, and want to act like adults. While gambling may not be a literal lesson, nuances and acts experienced by young eyes may teach them more than we realize. The answer? As you properly suggested, keeping such activities adult-only and out of sight of children may protect their innocence.
