Topic: Teaching your kids to gamble. (Read 727 times)

and this is true, even in my country, even though games on gadgets are entertaining, they are even used as gambling arenas by both adults and children.
there are several games that are indeed used as gambling arenas and are even on the rise to this day, one of which is Ludo King, which incidentally is a board game for small children to make fun of and is even used as a means to gamble.
I think teaching or not will come back later they will find out.
So, it's very unwise if parents don't make at least introductions or lessons about gambling and its effects

.yes that's true and that is also my point here, anytime as a parents we can provide them with any gadgets containing the internet as a source of learning but we must think and don't forget to say our young children that do not open unnecessary /new sites cause if we not say them that thing for sure there's a chance that our children Open a gambling site and then understand on how to gamble in that site for sure be not just only one day he open and play that sites.

It won't be easy for parents to discuss or teach their children gambling. Children get to know about gambling as they grow up. Most kids get familiar with gamble in high school and parents hardly know their kids are into gambling because most kids do gambling in the secret. Parents who can talk about gambling to their children are parents who played gamble during their youthful age, it will be very easy for parents like this to teach their kids ethics of gambling.

In today modern era, it will be very difficult for parents to monitor children behavior in using internet technology, I think the only way is to be firm with the child and limit them from using gadgets before the age of 17 years, I think that is indeed a difficult thing to do in this day and age, but it doesn't hurt for parents to try for the sake of their children avoiding bad behavior due to the negative influence of the internet, including in this case gambling.

In modern games (although probably not in modern ones), the element of gambling is very large, therefore, children learn to gambling even by playing ordinary children's games. And I cannot say that this is bad. By the way, children very quickly understand the value of money, even if it is "not their" money - for example, my daughter has her own budget and thinks well how to use it, because I do not give her endless money.

Very often it is the case that warning children cannot help them avoid addictions that can lead to a deterioration in their lives later in life. Most of us learn from our own experiences and children are no exception. So I think that parents should always be interested in what their child is doing, as there is a good chance that they will try gambling, as well as other addictive activities.

Yeah, gaming addiction requires treatment based on its severity. I guess professional treatment would be the best one because even it will be expensive you can be sure about getting cured in short period of time. I am not underestimating other methods but experts based approach will always work better as per what I have experienced with gambling addicted people.

Honestly we should not teach or introduce gambling to anyone. It will work negatively one day or other even what we teach is only for fun based. So, not at all knowing about gambling will help anyone to live better IMO.

If the addiction gives too many negative effects, he should try harder to stop his younger brother but with a better way.
Hear to heart talk is the best way in this case, so there wont be any anger from both side.
If heart to heart talk does not work well, there should be an alternative way to make his brother stop gambling which is with professional help.

Gambling-related ads are actually over the internet so that simply means that even without introducing gambling to youth these days, they will still get to know it but as parents, we have the responsibility to enlighten them about the risks of gambling. We should teach them how to get rid of it instead. They might see us do gambling but we could also tell them as early as possible things that might happen if a person falls into gambling addiction. Things will still depend on how we approach our kids about it.

That is what happens to the kids or teenagers when they already know about gambling. They will think that it is okay if they are trying to gamble like the adults but they do not realize and know what the risk is and the consequences when they become addicted. I think your brother has an addiction problem so maybe you need to talk to him personally and explain that playing gambling is not good for him and tell him about the risk. But do not force him to stop because that will make him angry and still do not care.

It sounds like a perfect solution, but, in reality kids don't understand phrases like "for adults only". Or, rather they "understand" those words in their own way, meaning, it makes them want to try it even more. The expression "Forbidden fruit is the sweetest" applies to kids too, whether we like it or not.

Imo, kids should be told the truth: you are more likely to lose than win. If explained the right way, it will make them play other than gambling games, where if they lose, they atleast don't lose their money.

I believe things that we know of are important to be taught first at home rather than in school or by other people. Teaching your kids the risks and ways on how to gamble is a big thing that they could benefit from the moment they grew older and when they reach a suitable age a person can already gamble. They can also use your guidance not only in the field of the gambling industry but in general as well. Because after all, everything that we do possesses risks and we just have to make the right calculations such as in decision making in order to have a desirable outcome.

In addition, it's much better to teach it to your children first hand so that you know that you are partaking the right terms, tips, and ways instead of it being taught by a complete stranger. That way, you know the things that you are telling them and you control the information they are going to hear from you. Since there should be certain things that still have to be left behind and not discussed yet until a certain age and level of understanding is developed.

We cannot deny that our children will discover gambling in future that's why we need to educate them first before they discover it so that we can explain them the pros and cons of gambling and in early stage they will know the risk if they try to play with it. The early stage of it is critical since this is the most addictive situation compare if you are experience since you can control yourself on it that's why proper guidance is really needed here.

You can look it from the other side. It is better that you will teach your kids to gamble, then they will find out about it from a person that will scam them. You that such "teacher" never play for free, so while kids learn, they lose money. Parents will teach kids for free.

I am not against teaching kids to gamble. Let them train logic, memory, observation. I would better teach them that gambling is not how they should earn, that this is too risky. Instead of turning gambling into "forbidden fruit".

One of the reasons why people are afraid to teach kids gambling, because they are afraid that they will lose all their money. Their money. Money they earned. They worked, earned, they have full rights to do what ever they want with their money. Or, people are afraid that their money = your money, that kids will steal/sell items from home/use your card. If your kid is able to do that, it is your fault that you did not teach him how hard it is to earn and to respect money, your fault that you let your kid do what ever he wants and dont bother what he does at free time, or dont spend time with him.

When the kid is born, his knowledge is zero. Of course he gets a lot from self education, but the knowledge you put in his head is what he learns. Spend time with your kids, build your own kids, teach them what is bad and what is good. Then you wont have to forbid something, the kid will understand what is right and what is wrong.

Yea we as parents we don't want our kids to be gambler but what OP is pointing mate is that sometimes we do in Unintentionally as the topic clearly mentioned upon hearing us talking about gambling and this will made them realized and it will become right to their mind.

and also a Internet letting them to access gambling site sometimes without even our notice , and also the sites usually don't require ages to access their site.

I will not teach my child to get involved in gambling however this should be under parental supervision.
Because of the easy and free internet access that allows minors to surf the internet anywhere including the scope of gambling, it is not easy to overcome this unless we as parents have to give a strict warning if we don't want our children to enter gambling not addicted to me it doesn't matter the most important thing they know when they grow up to start gambling if they want to later on.
But for me in this day and age gambling will still be known among children, it is easy to try passive income.

It is good to give our children an android phone or personal computer, so that our children can get knowledge and entertainment from the internet.
But for parents, don't forget that on the internet there are also quite a lot of negative things that can be seen by our children, children will find it
easier to find a place to gamble when accessing the internet. Therefore, parents must supervise their children when accessing  the internet,
so as not to access gambling sites. It is also impossible for parents to supervise their children for 24 hours, because parents must be busy with
their work. So the most effective way is to give our children education about gambling activities, so our children will understand the negative effects
that happen to them if they access gambling sites. I'm sure our children will understand if we educate them well, and they will obey their parents.

No, I will not but will teach them why gambling is not good for young minds like children


Only irresponsible parents will do that, as a parent you should not exposed your children to what adults are indulging, until they fully understand it.
Some words and conversations should not be taken in front of children
 
If gambling is legal in your country it's your responsibility and duty to your children and to the state to teach your children what is a gamble and when should they get involved in this.

The key is being responsible parents and your children will become responsible children

I think so too. what children need is proper guidance on things like this(not just gambling). I know there will be people who would disagree with me but I firmly believe a proper approach and guidance about gambling will be a lot safer than completely shielding them from it.

also, It seems like you have a good father(I wish my dad was around when I was growing up).

Adults use gambling as a numbing activity to distract ourselves from themselves discomforts. I actually wonder why kids gamble? Here's an idea for parents and older siblings to help their younger ones. They should try and replace their kids gambling addiction. By replacing it with another and much cheaper addiction, video games. They should buy a PS4 for the kid and give me a goal to  become the best player online. Sooner than later, they'll forgot completely about gambling.
