Parents And Their Children In Gambling..

[Cryptomiles1]

Absolutely, mostly the male child reasons like the father more closely than the mother. So whatever thing they are doing they should set a limitation between them and their children otherwise their children would be full of what they display (parental behavior), so in terms of his son gambling and living extravagant life, this is the number 1 character his got from the father and much exposure to wealth and money otherwise i don't think such character would enveloped the son.

Addiction can lead you any where. If you are addicted in gambling so you will never see what you have you just go for it and addicted will give everything in this field. But there is luck matters too. And one more thing is that the whole family can be gambler too.

Well, I wouldn't call it "going off the rails either"! It's just fun! But fun for people with money (or lots of money (multimillionaires or billionaires)) and people without money is not the same. I guess there's no cap when it comes to how much money can spend a group of friends for a weekend in Vegas, starting from booking the presidential suite or shity room in some motel to playing games with $1 min blind or $10k min blind... and then everything that can come between. ~

Yes, it is fun for people with money, and the guys in question are people with money, so they can afford spending those amounts of money on entertainment once in a while. They can't do it every day, especially Marcus Jordan definitely shouldn't do it often, but once in 5 or 7 years, why not?

My point is, Michael Jordan has not spoiled his son, as some people suggest.

Gambling addiction is a personal choice. If a family member has fallen into gambling addiction, we shouldn't follow their path because we could already see the consequences of it. If the whole family would fall into a gambling addiction, it could ruin not just relationships but also the way of living. The head of the family especially the parents must do everything to keep the children away from gambling addiction as early as possible.

You can't say that someone shouldn't follow them as if they will not really follow them.
If there's an influence inside the family, they will really be influenced no matter what advise you tell to them.
They're a family and they should be teaching each other what must they do, whether there is good or bad habits of gambling.

The role of parents is very important to accompany children's activities and should limit the use of PC or mobile, if without monitoring browsing history from the internet it will be influenced by external factors from the internet including advertising from gambling and they will try it, I have a younger brother and I always borrow his cell phone for check his internet activity history and when he is 18+ then he has his own choice to do whatever, but the role of parents only suggest the best for his future.

But come to think of it, why allowing under age to have access to the internet in the first place? Well, in my opinion allowing them using cell phone is cool but shouldn't support internet or you customize the cell phone to block access to 18+ sites. Thank God technology has gone far now that you can monitor someone activity in your own cell phone without collecting their cell phone with just a simple configuration. I am an adult but still restricted my phone from accessing certain sites.

It is easy to build the right morals and characters in kids while their are still growing than when they become a teenager

That's why they wise ones says the best time to bend a fish is when it is still afresh, but when it got dried, no remedy to bending it anymore, let's train our children right from their childhood days, when they grow up, they will not depart from it, which is parents to child's responsibility.

His dad is not also responsible enough to have developed the right character and set a good example for his kids.

Dome careless and heartless parents do forget that the children are looking on their character unknowingly and unconsciously, what kind of foundation are they laying for such children to trail upon, we are just blaming the society but the actual fact is that the fault begins right from home, if the child gambles or misbehave being underaged, don't blame him, check his parents.

There are so many things happening in the gambling world that we need to take a look at to make sure that more people do not become prey to this kind of gambling lifestyle. There is an addiction from the parent to children and this alone will continue if there is no way the addiction will be evicted from the family linage. Everything is time and this will be a big problem later if no alternative solution.

Yes, many things can happen, both in gambling and in any type of activity in the world, but I cannot let it go if I have a son who goes to the Internet alone when he is under 18, because he does not have a personality strong, she is very vulnerable to very easy and simple things in order to get money, I have been the tit of a friend who has a son who almost killed them in a game called freefire for being careless with her 13-year-old daughter, a guy He almost came to kill her, the threat of working for him as a hitman to save his family, that problem escalated to the police where they spent very ugly days.

In this case maybe only some people can keep 100% of their children from falling into the world of gambling. but sometimes things can happen so fast when he grows up to be a teenager, so this is where big changes can occur, including environmental influences and also the influence of curiosity so that he may become an active gambling addict as a teenager. Sometimes limiting a child to owning a PC can make them bored with the situation he is in so he is more likely to look for opportunities when he is out of the house looking for something he's never seen before. but I agree with @virasisog where gambling will occur if there is a desire from himself and also a big influence in his environment besides that it may be affected by gambling content scattered on social media.

Yes, many things can happen, both in gambling and in any type of activity in the world, but I cannot let it go if I have a son who goes to the Internet alone when he is under 18

Same applicable here, i also can't allow any child under the age approved as underaged (-18) to get exposed to things that are beyond his normal reasonings, this wasn't the way our own parents brought us up and even if it happens this way, then we must choose the right path through it, and we must not forget that children are fast learners, gambling is good but not for any underaged child no matter what.

I have been the tit of a friend who has a son who almost killed them in a game called freefire for being careless with her 13-year-old daughter

Actually it's not the child's fault, blame the parents who exposed the child to things beyond his mentality could accommodate, some children will go to the extent of stealing their parents money to gamble, but by then, the parents would have forgotten that they initiated the character at first by exposing them to danger with gambling while still young.

When a minor becomes addicted to gambling, it can sometimes lead to dangerous behavior. A minor boy fails to control himself. He may sometimes behave abnormally. Here it is the duty of a father to take care of his son at least till he reaches adulthood. A little delay here can sometimes lead to great danger. Which may never be recovered.

True, since minor obviously lacks awareness and can easily get hooked without thinking the possibility of destructive effect of gambling addiction.  Also being carefree and immaturity also gives more possibility of gambling addiction on minors when they engage in gambling at an early age.

Gambling addiction is a personal choice.

Playing and engaging in gambling activity is indeed a personal choice but no players ever wanted to be addicted on gambling.  Gambling addiction just sprout from the activity of a person.  It develops without the knowledge of a player that is the reason why I think gambling addiction is not a personal choice.

Many factors gamblers are very inappropriate for underage players so that they do not have the emotional control and attitude of maturity for important decisions, so gambling addiction in underage players should be avoided because it will damage their education and mindset when they are teenagers. I will always advise gamblers under the age of 18 to leave gambling because they have not yet reached the age set out in the requirements.

Age is a huge factor when we do talk about maturity or something in correlate on how grown ups should really be reacting on things that they've been dealing with.When you dont have sufficient experience and

skills plus having that good emotional handling then you would really be ending up on bad decisions which would really be costing you in terms of finances and results or consequences that you might face on.

Each of us does have their own will on what things that we should really be engaging on but pretty much sure that seeing those things into your own parents will really be giving
or likely be followed by its children and this is why this situation it isnt really that surprising.

We are going to be using Micheal Jordan as our case study :

Micheal Jordan gambled away $5 million dollars in one night^[1], he is a Billionaire, but that does not remove the fact that that's a hell lots of money to gamble away in just one night, you might want to say he is an adult and a Billionaires, and he is free to spend his money in which ever way he wants - understandable... Now, what about his son?

Marcus Jordan is just 19 years old, he spent a whooping $50,000 dollars in one night in Las Vegas on gambling and drinking in a strip night club^[1][2][3], the report shows he threw away $35,000 in gambling while $15,000 went into drinking alcohol and girls in the club, and do not forget that it is illegal to drink and gamble under the age of 21 in the state of Nevada where they live....

The young lad even posted that night's expenditures on his Twitter account where he said , and I quote....

"Last night was stupid... 35K at Haze," the University of Central Florida sophomore guard said. "Totals 50K something the whole day."

but according to report, the tweet got deleted.

This (from the articles) I believe happened in 2010, but I believe it's a fresh story for those of us getting to know this for the first time,

What do you make out of this story, should we really allow our children to live such a lifestyle like gambling and night clubbing, most especially, when they are still under aged?

Let's discuss about this..

Well, this case is very interesting. a child who tends to imitate his father's behavior to spend money by gambling.
Psychologically, it is undeniable that children will indirectly imitate the behavior, attitudes, thoughts and habits of their parents.
Of course we know there are many factors that will affect the behavior of our children such as family, environmental and peer factors.
if the family factor may be easier to overcome by providing a good example and understanding for our children.
but often what will overwhelm parents, usually are factors from the environment and peers that cannot be fully controlled by parents.

In the case above, I think if our child has already done something negative such as gambling, drunkenness, clubbing and others.
If I were a parent, I would take an intense approach to provide understanding and even real examples of what impacts our children will receive if they do these negative things.
and I will not approach intimidating behavior with the negative things our children do, I will do it persuasively.
because there are not many children who can be educated by means of intimidation, most of the time when a child feels intimidated, it is likely that the child will refuse and rebel.
I will say the negative things they have done are enough to be used as real lessons and experiences and not to be repeated again.
if it happens again I will emphasize that they will be responsible for their own behavior.
such as going to prison, accidents, depression and will even die young because of illness due to excessive alcohol consumption and an unhealthy lifestyle.

A minor's development will be stunted if he spends time in gambling when education is needed. Neither morality nor common sense resides in it. And neither the family nor the society can expect anything good through him. Rather, we have to face various problems. He will never be able to control himself in the gambling world. Consequence of this, he will lose everything. So according to time and age it is best not to engage in such activities until becomes mature.

Yes you are right. I have a minor son who is completely addicted to gambling. His behavior has changed a lot. He thinks about things all the time and has a hot temper. At first I didn't understand why he does this. Later I understood.  I have found that he is addicted to gambling. How can I get him away from gambling please help me.

You are in a very difficult situation as dealing with someone which is addicted is never easy, however like always the first step is for the addicted to recognize they have a problem and they need help to deal with it.

If this step is not taken then nothing can be done to help that person as they will never accept the help they desperately need, and once they take that step it is important to get them professional help, as leaving an addiction behind is not something which can be done overnight and instead it is a process which can take months or even years.

Psychologically, it is undeniable that children will indirectly imitate the behavior, attitudes, thoughts and habits of their parents.

We are not against children inheriting from their parents but what are they actually inheriting is the problem, many parents have been found responsible for the kind of live their children lived in the society without knowing it's actually what they developed from what they have been seeing their parents doing.

Of course we know there are many factors that will affect the behavior of our children such as family, environmental and peer factors.

But it's very bad and i thing of pity if found that parents also constitute the the challenges with their children, we are talking about exposing children at a tender age possibly below eighteen years to gambling just as in the case of Michael Jordan, now i see the reason why we dont here the trend on his name again after he has wasted alot of resources into gambling leaving his home vulnerable as well, his fame was but for a short time, gambling is good and ok for everyone but only when things we do in gambling were intentional and with positive outcomes.

External help would be useless if the said person or addicted ones doesnt really like to hear off any words from someone even up into his family and this is what makes treating gambling addiction do

becomes worst because the ones who could really able to help out is yourself, once you dont really realize and able to see that the thing you've been doing is wrong then you would really be just

doing the same mistakes all over again and again until nothing is left on you.This is why never ever make yourself get addicted that much.
There's no such thing about infinite funds because in gambling where it could really make you broke when the time comes.

Let's discuss about this..

Parents should be a good example for their children. We know that the nature of a child is to imitate their parents. So, as parents act, children will surely try it too. As for this, the thing that must be done is to inform the child's awareness of the things or consequences that will occur if doing so (this can be related to any action that has consequences).

Here many things can be put into context, because for some people things are not seen as we see them, for me the education of children is very important, especially when it comes to money, a child, a young person always has to have an idea that your financial education is very important, and you should know that every dollar you earn is by working hard and to get there involves efforts and some sacrifices, for some who are from the world of sports it is different, but nevertheless you have to make an effort by training a lot, others of us study for 15-20 years and become professionals, thus earning a livelihood, for me the training of the children has to be very close to them, and not allow them to do unnecessary things, I think that is the job of being dad and mom.

Playing and engaging in gambling activity is indeed a personal choice but no players ever wanted to be addicted on gambling.  Gambling addiction just sprout from the activity of a person.  It develops without the knowledge of a player that is the reason why I think gambling addiction is not a personal choice.

Consequence of this, he will lose everything. So according to time and age it is best not to engage in such activities until becomes mature.

Well yes, in part I agree with you, but it should be noted that the game as a whole is not so bad, it can make children and young people manage to do and develop some skills, for those who are not native speakers of the English language, it is he can learn quickly, for some reflexes and reactions the game is good, of course the casino game what it will cause in certain acts is that he is a little ambitious and likes money more, it is not bad at all, but you have to let them play under the supervision of their parents, only in this way will they ensure that there is no problem that something else affects them, and yes, that is the responsibility of the parents.

This part is not so difficult because a minor is still manageable and malleable by his peers, they can put him in an activity where he does not get close to anything where he can enter a game, it is something they can do, that is what sports are for , and obviously take him to a psychologist to help him overcome such a serious thing, I think that an addiction problem in a minor is more treatable than in an adult, because the older adult has more freedoms and access to what a minor does not he has it, so in part he is more old-fashioned, and this means that the learning he takes for now will serve him for his adult life and he does not make mistakes like that.

The head of the family especially the parents must do everything to keep the children away from gambling addiction as early as possible.

You can't say that someone shouldn't follow them as if they will not really follow them.
If there's an influence inside the family, they will really be influenced no matter what advise you tell to them.
They're a family and they should be teaching each other what must they do, whether there is good or bad habits of gambling.

One of the major role of the family members mostly with the parents is to guide their children because they have the most experience if their children see the same situation that's why and also it is good to have their guidance regarding with it if there's nothing I guess it is the problem with the parents too what are the cons of playing gambling, because upon a child developing with the environment they see those things as normal which is reality is no.

Every environment in which children develop must be different. Children with wealth and without proper guidance can imitate bad habits from their fathers or adults in their lives.
It is not entirely the fault of the parents when the child makes such a mistake. Adolescents certainly have associations with friends who sometimes cannot be controlled by their parents.
I'm sure everyone has taught a lesson. parents and children living among the rich, who cares about the money they spend?
This is indeed bad behavior for a child. but this is a picture of the children of the rich. maybe we would feel it too if we were in that position. parents with busy businesses, and children who are looking for their identity.

[delfastTions]

Perhaps the best advice if your child has started to get involved in online gambling is just not to spare your time and sit next to him at the computer and give at least some comments on his game.  It is clear that for you it is usually boring and uninteresting.  But getting the child out of this dangerous addiction is much more important.  Of course, this is advice for young children, not very suitable for teenagers.  And gradually, with your comments, it is worth taking the child away from the game, imposing on him the idea that this game is not very interesting.  Then another game.  And so on until he gets tired of playing. 

But this advice may not work for everyone.
 I think psychologists know better than me what parents should do. 
If someone faced this problem, write here how it was solved.

Maybe the trick is to get your child out of his room or in front of his computer and do something related to physical and mental activity so they can move and think about what they should do. It won't be easy because they will try to reject it with the excuse of being busy but we still have to try it for their good. With more and more we spend time with children doing physical activities, they will not think about touching their computer for a certain time because they already feel like interacting with other people and it turns out to be more fun.

But this is just an example and there may be other ways to help children get out of gambling without resorting to violence.
