I live in a country where Gambling is officially banned, but it doesn't stop the online illegal casino to operate. Most of the people in here is quite conservative so the parent always teach their kids that Gambling is bad, and if some kids are caught gambling the parent will make an extreme measure to make sure the kid stop, like take their phone for couple of months and even beating them. Now, I am not saying that you should beat your kid because their gambling, but I think it's easier for parent to prevent their kids from gambling rather than forwarding those responsibilities to school.
Yes, same here where I live, gambling is illegal so anyone caught will be punish. But I don't think that it should be teach in school. It's already illegal so for sure kids now that they are not allow to gamble. And for those who are caught, for sure the parents are affected and they should disciple their kids and it's really up to them to teach them the bad effects of gambling and that they shouldn't deal with it. Yeah, perhaps the parents will do that kind of punishment like taking the phone and grounding them. But still nothing beats a lesson fomr the parent themselves.

Realistically, I believe that the subject of gambling will not be discussed in schools and if it is discussed, it will only be in passing. Even if it is for a good cause to prevent addictions. And I don't think that even if it were to be done, it would have much effect if we look at the effect that education in schools had on the dangers of drugs.
I think the most important work has to be done at home, and not to avoid taboo subjects such as gambling, drugs or sex.

In my personal opinion I think it's obvious to give children lessons about the bad effects of gambling addiction not only just school also parents should guide them in home . Because if they become addicted to gambling at the teen age, then their future can will fill with dark. And everything has a perfect timing, but nowadays due to excessive use of mobile phones and lack of proper guidance from our parents, our children are getting addicted to gambling and also to the others bad things. I think one of the ways to get rid of it is to educate them about its bad sides in school.

A correct point has been made. Education is needed to demonstrate the effects of gambling addiction. Doing this from a young age can prevent some things. However the harms of early gambling in schools can have an adverse effect on education. Gambling is not an addiction that directly harms people like drugs and alcohol. But the harm is perhaps as great as alcohol and drugs. In order to prevent this, it is necessary to take measures to restrict gambling. It may be to remove the things that make gambling attractive. Getting fast results in gambling is a factor that increases addiction. In order to keep disadvantaged children, people and families away from various addictions it is necessary to increase their economic well being.

Increased sociability and lack of shyness might not really seem like bad qualities to have, or at least that's how it sounds to me when I read OPs post. Perhaps OP phrased that wrong?
Gambling addictions are extremely similar to drug addictions by how they break the brains wiring. This is extremely dangerous to the undeveloped brain of a child as it hinders the correct brain growth during the vital moments in adolescence.
I think school lessons for gambling might help children understand this fact better. So I would say that it's a good idea!

It depends if gambling is very rampant in that country, but if it's about accessibility to any gambling-related sites or tools it should be the parent's obligation to see to it that their children will not be addicted or the subject is properly explained to children, the parents can teach addiction to their children effectively, because they have a moral obligation to their children to teach them the harmful effects of gambling.
In some countries, Gambling is accessible to teens but in most countries, the legal age is 18 still teens gamble because they have access to the internet or they have friends who are into gambling. Parents surely have a duty towards their children but all they can do is monitor and keep a check. They can guide them but they cannot be with the child 24/7. I think since most part of the day a child is in school therefore it becomes a moral obligation for them to also inform the about the harmful effect of Gambling.

Given all this, do you think it's worth organizing separate lessons in schools designed to tell children about gambling addiction? That is, to tell children about gambling addiction separately from addiction in general - alcohol and drug addiction.
There is a separate special subject that we had when I was in college and it was called "career development" or "Cardev" as they say it for short.
It was offered as part of your study load mandatorily. It isn't a regular subject but we only have it during Saturdays for 1 hr.
It tackles more on your career development generally, but the professor who handled us also tackles about the danger of drug and alcohol addiction, but not gambling. So, yeah I guess any schools could actually impose it on their curriculum, but I don't think this is suitable for elementary and high school kids. This kind of subject is more relevant to college students.

why? For me i think much better to keep it than make a lesson for children because despite surely it can influence them after all the lessons, where in because of curiosity? So it must be banned to keep our children safe. September 01, 2022, 02:27:48 AM
I think too many issues are dumped on the educational system, because parents are failing their kids. The education system cannot teach children all the life skills they need to survive in this world.... some of this has to come from the parents.
Yes, some parents are gambling addicts ...so taking advice and guidance from them will be useless, because they themselves need help and guidance. So it is in cases like this, where the parents fail... that the educational system has to fill that gap.

Maybe Safe gambling and education instead, early education is very important to children since it gives them an early proper guide so that they don't become too exposed to some things that may affect their life, this shouldn't really be an institution or gathering but could start from the parents, the basic proper education should start from parents and let them know the merits and demerit of gambling and government could take it further and introduce it as subject, it will practices children to see gambling as an entertainment and something to have fun about since they are the one who used to give license to this companies.

Maybe schools need to teach every student to have good self-control, a sense of socialization towards others, and a sense of shame because I see this starting to fade among the younger generation.
In addition, schools also need to emphasize the dangers of gambling, alcoholism and drug addiction so that they will never try it.
But schools cannot supervise children all the time and this task remains the duty of every parent, especially if they have children who are already teenagers.
Supervision for children growing up will be more difficult because they have hung out with more friends and rarely communicate with us, so the school and parents must consider this.

Perhaps they can talk it outside of school like with their parents on someone older than them? At least for me that is the case,
Some parents are just busy working and they forget to talk about important matters on their children so I don't see this as a bad idea. Kids can in fact get more motivated to listen if they see that they aren't alone but they have their classmates which are also listening on the same thing but I can see one disadvantage here and that is kids who aren't yet exposed in gambling, will get curious to know if what is it and they will try it. What if they themselves get addicted in the process? although I have seen my father gamble, but I didn't follow him when I was a little. But they gave me lessons about gambling that I can't go play and understand the bad effects. So the education for me started at my own home and not in school. It's that when I grow up, have a decent job and that I was influence by one office mate to go to casinos, but I old enough that time.
I like the attitude you are showing there and also your father because I think some fathers will let their kids follow their path especially if their kids find out that they are into gambling and they confront them. You have waited to grow older and have your own source of living before you engage yourself in gambling. I won't worry with you now because for sure you still have a self discipline and won't become an addict later on.

I doubt "craving" for gambling has anything to do with "how disadvantage" the family is. The amount of rich people that gambles is more than those of people that can't afford to gamble. Both the super rich and the poor loses a lot of money, but you hear more about poor people gambling and losing everything because their sad story sells more.
Gambling addiction lesson in school? Sure, why not? If they can give lessons about drug addiction, then they can also give lessons on gambling addiction. In fact they should make the kids aware of all kind of addictions and their harmful effects.

It is worth tackling since most children would eventually get exposed to gambling through other ways, and having these early lessons could serve as a guide for them in the future. I don't see the downsides to having a few lessons about gambling addiction even though schools aren't required to have these types of lessons I still think it'll help their students in some way.Perhaps they can talk it outside of school like with their parents on someone older than them?

A brief discussion by teachers would help but it's not necessary. As for me, parents are more responsible for enlightening their kids about the risks and consequences of gambling addiction. More kids nowadays are aware of the things that are happening in society including gambling so parents must also do their part. It doesn't have to be taught at schools but rather as advice for the younger generation.
I think that if we are aware if education is also being given to control our emotions. Parents are playing the most important thing in this case but you must not remember that if im sure that parents will not teach their son to play gambling. Their enviroment must become the most potential factor who has been telling us about that. The fact that so many people who are under 18 known about gambling from their environtment. Parent is important part to recover from them their addiction. This days almost anyone can access internet. This makes them feel more easy to know about that too.

yes, I think schools should teach these and other social issues more.
The problem is that in many countries financial education is not even addressed, who would have thought then that they would be able to talk about gambling addiction!?
I'm sure governments would spend much less money to include this approach in school preventively than in the future to remedy this situation.
Unfortunately, governments collect a lot from gambling but invest little of what they receive to invest in this area.

The boundaries between gambling as entertainment and pathology have been erased. The frequency of cases of pathological gambling is increasing all over the world, which is associated with the legalization of institutions that attract thrill-seekers: lotteries, casinos, racetracks, and slot machines.
Psychologists note that gambler children at an early age are characterized by increased sociability and lack of shyness. Craving for the game is more often observed in children from disadvantaged families, as well as from families where parents play. The gambler child is constantly under stress. This condition is a favorable ground for the development of drug addiction.

Children usually look up to their parents, so I believe one simple way is to be a good example to them.
If they see that their parents are not in any way touching the gambling aspect, they may not think about it.
Also, parents will always have the responsibility to make sure their kids know the repercussions brought by gambling.
As they can learn them from their peers or via online, what they will be holding is the principles their parents instilled on them.
but its true that whenever they dont able to see it into their parents then it is unlikely that they would really be getting involved into something specially if they've been
guided thoroughly by their parents.If this one is been taught on the school about gambling addiction and its negative then it would add up the entire
idea which for them to avoid completely but on some point there are children which might go opposite.
