Teaching your kids to gamble.

[Shamm]

Agree because the tendency of children to gambling increases from their parents they will be attracted to what they will see when they grow up. Gambling has ruined the lives of many families and people gambling hinders children from growing up there are many families who are busy with their affairs and do not pay any attention to their children that are why in the age of technology, through the internet they are involved in various bad deeds along with gambling. Gambling addiction has increased that's why parents need to be strict and spend more time with them.

For now,  I don't know if this kind of issue about the children who are addicted to gambling will be decreased in the future. Cause nowadays if their parents are busy their respective work they choose to buy some android phones or personal computer to make their children happy. And we all know that the internet had many access in world of gambling, out of curiosity children in the younger age  when they find something new to their eyes and start doing gambling.

Although they will learn it eventually when they become teens, it's good to remind them before it grows in thier mind that gambling is a source of income.

You make it sound like it is a certainty that all teens must learn to gamble, like it's the norm. Was that how things were formerly, or is it what it is becoming?

 Even teaching kids from a tender age to view gambling as a source of income IMO is dangerous. It may discourage them from seeking other more reliable sources of income. Gambling though may be a source of income, should not be considered a major source of income. If considered a major source of income, ask yourself, how will you get the money to gamble with?

The answer will be "no" for most users, but truth is that in reality, most parents who gamble teach their kids indirectly to gamble without knowing, how

This is true,but some parents are more responsible than others.
I don't have kids,but if I had kids,I would never teach them anything about gambling.
Kids have underdeveloped personality.They are too vulnerable to different kinds of addictions.
If you say to them that something is forbidden,they would want that "forbidden fruit" even more.
The only solution to this is to not give any money to your children(except for food).
They can gamble,but only with their own money and only after they are old enough.
I don't know about a flood of teenage gamblers.I don't know where did you find such data and how can you verify it.Most of the kids/teenagers don't have money to gamble.Clearly somebody must give them money,so they could gamble.

It's true that the era of underage gamblers is booming now, disgusting when I see my younger brother currently gambles the lottery every day,
the goal is just to make extra money from passive income I tried to stop him and even by my parents but he didn't care.
this is a big problem when a underage gambles, there should be an age limit that prohibits him from accessing gambling sites. and I think now he is already addicted it will be even more difficult to prohibit in the future.

If it refers to government regulations in my country, then gambling is actually prohibited. But I played multiplayer several times. My real goal is just to make my brain fresher, with the game. Actually, for today's children, I prefer the introduction of what gambling is, what are the rules. To teach him to play I think it's too risky. They are still not mature enough to make a decision.
Maybe right now it would be more appropriate if they enjoyed the world as normal children. Maybe now some online casinos have asked for KYC for their members, so it's in anticipation of minors to participate in gambling. Though I'm sure maybe some online casinos don't care about that.

Usually a casino have self exclusion for gambling addict or if the casino ask to submit KYC and your younger brother send it, his account might be banned due to broke TOS (underage gambling aren't allowed). If you feel your younger brother already messed up his life due to gambling, you need to consult with the professional for this case. Strict parenting/stopping someone aren't really effective, it's just make him feel restrained and will do hidden behind peoples.

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.

My father was a big gambler and was quite good at it. I don’t know how much sports gambling he did, if any, but I know he loved cards and made a visit to Vegas at least once a year.  He taught me how to play gambling type games but never taught me about the gambling aspect of it.  My father preached having good strong morals and being a good kid. As with anything else (smoking / drinking etc) he simply said you can do so when you’re of age. I think that was a pretty good way to approach it.

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).

[robelneo]

There is the case of increasing number of underaged gamblers, will you still teach your little kids to gamble?

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

for Sports betting - You indirectly teach your kids to gamble when you leave open your online betting slips, and drop carelessly within the reach of the underaged your offline slip if you didn't bet online. Kids are very inquisitive and take cue from their parents and guardians easily.

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.

You indirectly teach the underaged to gamble when you speak freely and excitedly about how you their parent or guardian placed some bets, visited a casino to have some fun and so on. (be careful what you say around the underaged, they learn quickly especially from someone they look up to.

Some words and conversations should not be taken in front of children
 

You also contribute to the increasing cases of gambling when you hide answers about gambling from the underaged when asked. If your kids or any underaged around you become too curious about gambling, educate them and let them know the perils of underaged gambling and why it is for adults, answer their questions and clear their doubts, so they don't go find out about gambling themselves.

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.

kindly bring to our notice other ways user's have unknowingly contributed to the increasing number of underaged gambling, so we can take corrections and make amends where necessary.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

...

As we have said above, some parents draw children's attention to gambling without even thinking about it. For example, a simple coin toss, which seems quite harmless, can be deposited in the unconscious memory of a child, which may later affect the addiction to gambling.

When my child asks about gambling games that he downloads to his phone, I try to explain to him that such games are trying to take his money. It seems to me that any sensible parent would try to limit their child from gambling, even if it is free.

Well, everything starts from an early age! You presented a good example, and I believe it's like that, it can look harmless at the moment but later can have consequences!

I don't know how old is your kid, but I will try to remember how you are doing it, I like it... kids will pay more attention if you explain to them that some game can take their money for snacks and toys! My kids are little, the older one is only 3 years old and I guess I have a few more years before they jump me with questions about gambling!

Harmless for them knowing that they cannot feel the worse situation at the moment and they can feel the impact on what they are doing upon growing up that's why we need to pay attention to our youngster since if they will be unguided to go on this area then provably they will be in bad situation which can put them in danger. But if they are will guided and been educated then maybe the risk is low.

This is the reason why must need to have guidance by the parents because of course there's a curiosity that will hit on the children like looks it's just a play to them so they will urge to learn more on it, but most of the time children get bored and find another thing they can do or to play. Still its better to support and guide them to make an englightenment which is the right and wrong things as earliy as possible.

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.

[AicecreaME]

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.

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.

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.

[Cling18]

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.

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.

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.

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.
