Topic: Watching Our Kids From Something That Could Dangerous To Them - page 3. (Read 717 times)

After all, children will imitate what their parents did. If you place a bet in front of them. So in addition to controlling the smartphone, we must also be aware of what to do when children find out that we are also gambling. It's a little hard to control at the moment because gambling ads are spreading on social media. And you're not completely in control over time what access they watch. So that this case will tend to be difficult to overcome if there are still many elements that bring children closer to gambling.

Our children will imitate us so we should set a good example so they will follow the right path. I believe that it would be better if we won't show them that we're gambling and explain them the risks of it. We can't have 100% control of their mobile phones but we should still guide them by explaining to them the risks of the choice that they're making. We always have a big role in the lives of our children.

I currently have 2 kids, and my biggest concern is that both of my children saw pornography and engaged in gambling when they were minors...

controlling your child's smartphone today is the duty of parents, children can't yet distinguish between good and bad so they think it's something their parents don't forbid as long as their parents know it, even though it's a bad thing, it can be tolerated. The child's future will be ruined when he finds out about gambling and pornography when they are minors.

I agree - there is a dire need to balance between the phone and life balance. But kids are adamant that they all need a smart phone.
My nephew who is 2 cries like crazy if someone takes the phone from his hand. But than again its important and kids should be kept away from the phone. It's a need of the time.

As parents, keeping them under tight control can be both beneficial and harmful. Of course, it is impossible to keep them 7/24 under control. Neither they nor we are robots. That's why they needs our guidance to keep forwarding on right path. If we give them the right clue, they can come to the right conclusion by themselves.

It will just increase their curiosity if we will warn them to not open those apps and for sure they will seek some time to open this and try on why their parents disallow them to play such games. So I guess its good to educate them first and tell them the flaws also the possible problems they might encounter if they play then get addicted with those things. Proper education is important here to avoid any serious problem in future.

Saying them don't install games or spend any money to buy in app purchases won't help at all because stopping will make them to be more addictive towards the thing so what you can actually do is to teach your kids about the importance of money even though its just a paper how hard we have to work to get them then they will realize that where money should be spend and where it shouldn't be.

What do you think about the situation above? Do you have any such situations like me before?

So parents have a huge task of following what and how their children behave in front of their cellphone and computer, they should be ahead and knows what to feed to their children's mind.

Some time ago I visited my friend's house. We talked about many things because we had not seen each other for a long time. Besides us telling stories, he accompanied his son, who was already a teenager. His son is playing games on his cell phone and I got a glimpse of what games he played and he seems to be playing games he shouldn't be playing.

Then I asked my best friend how she watched her grown children. He replied that his children were able to choose what was good and bad for them and he just needed to say that playing games are okay as long as he doesn't lose track of time.

Then I asked again if the kids installed games they weren't supposed to play (but I didn't say the kids were playing those games). She replied that she sometimes checks her children's cell phones and asks what they are playing and that a parent should ask their child.

From here, I then asked myself, is that what we should do for our children, giving them the freedom to install whatever they want. Then there is another thing that sticks in my mind: if they want to buy something in the game because this type of game allows players to get rare items at low prices. They can ask for the money from their parents to buy that item.

Then, I also thought if this could cause symptoms of addiction to continue playing the game and later it could be accidentally, they see adult content such as pornography or gambling or others easily. The role of parents who give freedom to their children in using cellphones does not seem to be felt by those who are starting to grow up. I see that a teenager has started to be equipped with a smartphone.
