Children or kids want to try gambling once they will that thier parents are involve with it or else siblings or neighbors but we parents, we are the guidance so we need to focus our attention to them if they want to gamble in thier young age then we must not let it cause one thing for sure there's a chance that it will lead into addiction cause some young men or woman can not control themselves and they will let themselves involve in gambling and have a big chance that they will become an addict and ones it will happen then that's is a bad thing.
It is natural that one gambler will be inspired by another. Someone may be attracted to gambling by a family member or by friends, but those who are relatively young can always be attracted by someone close to them. If children can infer something about their parents' gambling, then at some point they will be interested in doing so themselves. That is why a parent or the one who manages the family must be alert. In no way should the younger members of the family be attracted to gambling. Especially until they can fix their mistakes on their own. If a gambler gets involved in gambling before he is fit, he is sure to get addicted quickly. Today's children are so clever that it is not possible for all parents to control them. That's why every parent should be more careful. 
Topic: Never gamble in front of your kids. - page 9. (Read 7256 times)
Most children will imitate what their parents do and if we don't want our children to imitate these gambling habits, of course we shouldn't gamble in front of them because if they imitate, of course this will cause us difficulties because they will imitate the habits. Gambling is of course very bad because they cannot differentiate between good things to do and how they can manage the gambling they do.
I agree with you. Gambling in front of children will make them try to imitate us. He will be curious and will try various kinds of gambling that we have played in front of the children. This is a big problem because children have the potential to become very addicted to gambling. We gamble because it is our choice and we already know and are ready for the risks. This will enable us to become wise gamblers. Children don't necessarily like gambling and they can't regulate their emotions when gambling like adults. Therefore try to show something positive in front of our children. I will even try to hide my gambling hobby in front of my children.

There wasn't as much entertainment in my childhood as there is today, so we played card games. At first we played without using money, but when we got older and had the opportunity to have our own pocket money we started playing card games for money. Whether it is good or bad everyone decides for himself, but I think that from that moment I became a gambler and playing without money stopped bringing so much emotion as playing with money. In my opinion, teaching children to gamble is not the best idea, because in any case they will come to the fact that they will play for money. I think it is better to teach children how to multiply money and that you should strive to make your money work for you, not you work for money.
If we would get addicted to what we were doing in childhood, then the world would consist from firefighters, astronauts, bandits, doctors and sellers behind the cashdesk. I was not spoiled by variety of games, toys and entertainment in my childhood either. As well as I played cards, rock-paper-scissors and other games, and from time to time used money to bet. We also had football tournament with money prize hood vs hood. Where teams consist of 5-15 yo kids. I even used to search and collect bottles, to exchange them for money, bought chewing gums and gambled with it (to win more gums and get stickers from it). I was doing the same everything other kids did that time. Thus, somehow there is no big passion to gambling today. I am definitely not interested to make money with.
Again, gambled a lot (if this can be called gambling) when was a kid, low interesting to gambling today. Rather strange, isnt it? Because almost everyone among 50 pages would say that my parents were bad at parenting, and I would have grown into gambling junkie.
I think it's not just about parenting. It's about attitude to finances, which is formed not only by parents, but throughout our lives. In my childhood my parents tried to limit me from gambling for money, but as we can see after a certain time it did not help much.
Also a lot depends on responsibility, which with each passing year becomes more and more. At least if earlier I could spend half of my salary on gambling, now I categorically will not do it.
Sometimes he follows me about my activities and working in this community. It's a very simple matter. If you gamble in front of your kids or anything you do in front of kids. These things impact their mind feeling their curiosity. You know in the world, everything will be invented for people's curiosity. I don't know about what he said but I believe ginious. It's my thought. Sorry for the above.

Gambling is of course very bad because they cannot differentiate between good things to do and how they can manage the gambling they do.It's pretty normal for children if they also do what they see in their parents, that's the nature of children so as a parent, we should adjust ourselves and limit the things we do once they are in front of us because they don't know the things that shouldn't be imitated because parents will serve as role models for children until they grow up. if they see what you and your spouse are doing, they can imitate it while they are young, not unless you explain every detail of what should not be imitated by children from what they see in their parents.
As parents, of course, they have to pay close attention to their children when doing gambling activities and don't gamble in front of their children so that they don't imitate the gambling activities they do so that they don't copy the gambling activities that we do and giving them an understanding of this doesn't necessarily mean they won't do it. gambling that we do and it would be better for us not to do things that are not normal for our children to do in front of them.

Personally I think there are three things we need to be sure of before betting.
In children or young people we will not see any of these three points. This is why children and young people should definitely stay away from gambling. If not, they may be in great danger.
Even if we focus more on the first point you have given, the kids or the younger generation will immediately be out of the question. The first and most important thing in gambling, they need to have money to start gambling. There's no other way that a young kid will have money to gamble unless they are part of a very rich family.- I need to have extra money. So that if I lose money it doesn't affect my daily life.
- I must have full knowledge about the subject on which I will bet. Otherwise there is a high possibility of losing money. So first of all we have to study about the subject on which we are going to bet. Bets should be placed after knowing completely.
- Our nerves must be strong. Gambling is definitely not for the faint of heart. We must be mentally strong.
In children or young people we will not see any of these three points. This is why children and young people should definitely stay away from gambling. If not, they may be in great danger.
I agree that the best thing to do is to make them stay away from gambling. Let them enjoy being young and have fun without getting to know anything about gambling.
You are right. Usually children or young people do not have enough money to gamble. But I have seen in several news reports that young men are involved in crimes like theft and robbery to finance gambling and drug addiction. Also I got a news from India that a minor son squandered his father's savings by gambling. I have seen several such news.
However, we should always bet carefully. and trying to hide gambling from children or young people. This is for adults. And I would say gambling is only for those who earn money.
- Yes, the children should not see it as much as possible, and we should hide it from them because they are truly miserable when they learn or become addicted to gambling.
Because once a minor learns to gamble without a job, they will learn to do something they shouldn't.
And most of that is able to steal money, sell stuff, and sometimes it even affects the relationship with the family.

Because that's the age where they absorb more information because their brains are like sponges that would absorb those information no matter how trivial it is, that's why kids with trauma during their formative years have a hard time when they're growing up especially if that trauma wasn't dealt with, they remember those stuff that you do to them. Your story is a bit cute but I have to call it out as something really fishy like why does this kid already asking about the forum and the gambling community, pretty sure that you're not talking about it all the time that they'd pick it up easily, I'm really not sure if that's a real thing though, or maybe I'm wrong and you've got a genius kid. I don't know how that kid got interested with gambling but I'm going to tell you that you're either failing as a parent because you've likely exposed them to that, no way that it's all innate.

Another thing is that in my opinion it is also unlikely for a child to immediately conclude that you are "gambling", because usually they don't have much knowledge, especially about gambling, but yes, if we are talking about preventive measures then it is clearly better never to gamble in in front of your children because the possibility of something bad could happen, the fear is that they will try to find a casino site on the internet according to what they see from the games you play.
Now, some say, "They dont get it anyway, whats the harm?" Wrong. Kids are always figuring things out, and normalizing gambling just sets a bad foundation. Its not just about them fiddling with a slot machine - its about the mindset we create. Do we want kids thinking luck and chance are the way to get ahead, rather than hard work?
Protecting kids isnt just about shielding them, its about showing them the right way. We gamble, they might follow along later. Thats on us. Lets be smart, responsible. Adult stuff stays in the adult world, period.
Some of the things that makes children grow up with wrong knowledge is because their parents kept away information that they needed to know while growing up because they are afraid that if this children have an idea about what they kept away from them that they may start doing those things without their parents awareness but the best way to make a child stay away from a bad habit is to teach the child the basic necessity they need to know and the consequences that surrounds it If the choose to get involved because when you do that as a parent, you have already given the child the knowledge of the dangers involved so even if they are introduced to those things by others outside it will be difficult for them to take part in it.
Not letting our children know that we are gamblers doesn't mean we should keep them away from knowing about the repercussions if they choose to gamble.
I basically think like this as well, there is a difference between teaching a kid how to gamble, a very irresponsible thing to do, and teaching them how gambling works and why it is not a good idea for them to participate in it, this way in the case one of their peers tried to introduce them to that world, they will be prepared to take a responsible choice and stay away from it, unlike what happens to those that are kept ignorant about the dangers of gambling at such an early age and decide to try it because the rest of their friends are willing to do it.Not letting our children know that we are gamblers doesn't mean we should keep them away from knowing about the repercussions if they choose to gamble.
Such kind of an approach will help those young minds not to deal with gambling if they are aware on what danger or risk that they'll going to encounter, like what you just said, two different approach and there's a big difference especially when a kid being taught the right things that they need to understand, it's simple as you are preventing them and you are giving them that idea if they push their ways and let them enter they will just messing up with their lives.
It's something that needed to taking care correctly, as there are many adult person who are not caring about the after effects of what the kids are seeing from them.
It's pretty normal for children if they also do what they see in their parents, that's the nature of children so as a parent, we should adjust ourselves and limit the things we do once they are in front of us because they don't know the things that shouldn't be imitated because parents will serve as role models for children until they grow up. if they see what you and your spouse are doing, they can imitate it while they are young, not unless you explain every detail of what should not be imitated by children from what they see in their parents.
Children are good imitators so what they see from our bad habits, for example gambling, will of course be easily remembered by their brains to continue to remember it and force them to try doing it in the future, usually they will often feel curious if they have never tried doing it or received an explanation about gambling. What is meant, especially since the sophistication of technology is currently quite developed, they can know what his father is playing on his computer monitor, of course that will be the beginning of disaster for him.The point is that as a parent or father, don't ever try to show your bad habit of gambling in front of your children. After all, there is still time to gamble when they are asleep. Like what I do, I only gamble at night when they are asleep. Don't force yourself to gamble too much in front of your children. Even though there is a very profitable gambling betting opportunity, don't be too enthusiastic, stay relaxed, arrange the time so they don't see it, don't let us explain what they should, don't ask about it, especially about the gambling that we play too often in front of them.
Yeah right, they can easily immitate something and they can find the reason why they want to do things when they see someone who's doing it in front of them, curiosities is something that you need to consider when taking actions in front of your kids, and gambling is not exempted as they can simply use the internet to search for it and learn how things works.
Because that's the age where they absorb more information because their brains are like sponges that would absorb those information no matter how trivial it is, that's why kids with trauma during their formative years have a hard time when they're growing up especially if that trauma wasn't dealt with, they remember those stuff that you do to them.

Another one that has illusion that if a kid see or know what is gambling, he will turn into addicted gambler. Can you try to describe what harm gambling can do to a kid without using words addiction, money or irresponsible?
I see two different approaches about teaching kids what is gambling. First is when you explain, teach rules, gamble with a kid. Second is when you teach that he could earn from gambling. First method I find harmless, other can have consequences. But in general you can teach your kid everything and anything. It is all up to you and what kind of example you will shot to them. In fact, it is not always to educate children, but better to educate yourself, as they will be like you anyway. Always start with yourself and they will be your copy.

I appreciated you because kiddos are so intelligent for discovering new things, and new challenges. Kids want to invent new things. They through the questions for their parents and elders to know more about new things. Also, I have the same experience in this field, I have 2 baby boys. My elder baby boy's age is about 6 years. He is so much creative. I call him Finney. I am so much impressed with the name Harold Finney. For that, I called my 1st baby boy Finney and I called my 2nd baby boy Satoshi. Finney asks me always about Bitcointalk Community and Gambling. Very young age, I noticed his interest much about gambling. But now I'm afraid of him for his curiosity about Gambling. One day he said to me, "He wants to build a new idea or the easiest way to improve bitcointalk gambling community." Everybody in this community, pray for him in your prayers.

Looking at the societal adjustment to online gambling activities, its portability, accessibility, and numerous adverts. Kids will get in one of those sites where gambling is being promoted. Hence, sharing with the young ones the ethics of gambling and how it could be detrimental to their life, is quite important. Due to the risk of getting into those sites and trying out gambling, behind their parents. Parents must guide their children about gambling, such discussions could unveil some information the child already harnesses about gambling. It's also a better method of discovering if the young person is already trying out gambling. Because they'll never come out straight to tell their parents that they're gamblers.
As every child's goal is making his parents proud, hence they'll want to make quick funds to pay their bills themselves without involving their parents. So, instead of sitting back as a parent waiting for the child to discuss gambling first, it's proper to get them engaged in such conversation gradually. In ways that will promote responsible gambling and demote compulsive gambling. With lots of examples of gamblers who undergo or undergo the same fate of gambling compulsively, and how it affects their life in the future. These will help in building the child not to fall prey easily to gambling addiction, without opening up to his parent. Since he knows they've had such a conversation before, he wouldn't find it difficult to start the discussion this time.

Then one day, she wanted to play it herself and asked me if she can go for it and I said "no, it's not your legal age to go for such games". So, it's better to keep our kiddos away from gambling and let them focus on their studies, else it'd actually ruin everything for the whole family if the kid takes the wrong path.

Even if we focus more on the first point you have given, the kids or the younger generation will immediately be out of the question. The first and most important thing in gambling, they need to have money to start gambling. There's no other way that a young kid will have money to gamble unless they are part of a very rich family.I agree that the best thing to do is to make them stay away from gambling. Let them enjoy being young and have fun without getting to know anything about gambling.
You are right. Usually children or young people do not have enough money to gamble. But I have seen in several news reports that young men are involved in crimes like theft and robbery to finance gambling and drug addiction. Also I got a news from India that a minor son squandered his father's savings by gambling. I have seen several such news.
However, we should always bet carefully. and trying to hide gambling from children or young people. This is for adults. And I would say gambling is only for those who earn money.
It just that what really has very bad impact on child is addiction to gambling and drugs, these two things can make child go wild, they will be uncontrolled and willing to do anything to fulfill their desires in carrying out these activities.
Gambling requires lot of money and using drugs also requires money to buy them, so there is no doubt that teenagers who are addicted will definitely engage in criminal activities to make money.
It is clear that this is very negative impact and as much as possible, parents must be able to prevent their children from being exposed to these activities so that they do not know about them or even try to do them.
Yes, because as parent it is you obligation to provide direction, education and learning for you child.
After all, what we do and show to our children is what our children will also do in the future.
Some of the things that makes children grow up with wrong knowledge is because their parents kept away information that they needed to know while growing up because they are afraid that if this children have an idea about what they kept away from them that they may start doing those things without their parents awareness but the best way to make a child stay away from a bad habit is to teach the child the basic necessity they need to know and the consequences that surrounds it If the choose to get involved because when you do that as a parent, you have already given the child the knowledge of the dangers involved so even if they are introduced to those things by others outside it will be difficult for them to take part in it.
Not letting our children know that we are gamblers doesn't mean we should keep them away from knowing about the repercussions if they choose to gamble.
I basically think like this as well, there is a difference between teaching a kid how to gamble, a very irresponsible thing to do, and teaching them how gambling works and why it is not a good idea for them to participate in it, this way in the case one of their peers tried to introduce them to that world, they will be prepared to take a responsible choice and stay away from it, unlike what happens to those that are kept ignorant about the dangers of gambling at such an early age and decide to try it because the rest of their friends are willing to do it. Not letting our children know that we are gamblers doesn't mean we should keep them away from knowing about the repercussions if they choose to gamble.
