Parents And Their Children In Gambling..

[TimeTeller]

-snip-

I have noticed the same here, I have seen my neighbor letting her 6-8 years old child to play on her phone so the child can stay entertained.
It is a weird thing to see, considering these new phones we see nowadays could be even bigger than the head of the child itself and the side of those handheld devices are not designed to be held by little children.

The problem is that apps are not how they used to be back in the day, they are not about a one-time purchase anymore, the business model have switched to micro-transactions and even worse: loot-boxes, in games are are supposed to be for everyone.

I can even find on Google Scholar several articles suggesting a link between loot boxes and problem gaming, even mental struggles.

I believe this situation is now all across the globe as smartphones are easy to access.
A lot of parents are also doing this just letting their kids use or buy their phone so they can free up themselves.
Yes, they can have free time but they don't know that their kids are learning something that they should not do yet.
You are right, most apps now are having in-app purchases which means, it is free to install but once you played it, you need to pay to acquire items of the game.
Parents should be cautious on this practice. This is why some will be surprised also if they received their credit card billing from unknown purchases.
But kids now can easily access possible gambling apps because of the smartphones, parents should be alarmed with their kids activities using phones.

when I looked at this thread now I remembered that days ago I have seen very strange things in my city, I see children who are only 6 years old and others who are 8 years old having a cell phone and playing games, and these children spend most of their time days playing on the phone and then without a doubt they will start playing games of chance, because these kids on the phone do research and when they search about games for phone they will find games of chance and as they grow they will enter the world of gambling and they will not talk nothing for parents, I think it's a big risk to give a 7-year-old a phone. in the same way that a parent should not take their child to the world of gambling, this is not a good thing.

I do even see as early as 5 years old which it isnt really that surprising in todays era considering that we are on high-technology era where people could easily have access with these things.
This do simply puts up that parenting or guidance does really play such important role on childrens growth.If he get used to into things when he was young or simply
do able to see it on people around him then much sure that he would really be following those steps.

And you know what it is even more infuriating, the people that create those apps and those devices do not let their kids interact with them and even send them to schools in which it is forbidden to use a phone at all, this should tell us what we need to know about how dangerous are those devices to underage people, and yet many parents do not take the time to think about this as they are too busy with their jobs to give any kind of meaningful attention to their kids.

Because of this topic I met a founding concerning this so I understand that some parents gumbo in the absence of their children because they don't want their children to go into gambling and the enter gambling because of her ship why some parents acknowledge their children to gamble so those kind of parent that acknowledge their children to gamble know the benefit impact or what they have achieved through gambling so that is why they encourage their children to gamble

I don't believe that any parents will permit their children that are under age to gamble. No sane parent will encourage or permit their  underage children to gamble.
It is not only parents  that train children, the environment they grow up also has some influence on them. If almost all the children in the environment are gamblers, there is a very high chance that your own child will follow his peer and gamble.

Reality in life nowadays, parents are too busy to make money in hope that they can provide a better future for their kids, materially they can fill that up but mentally they are forgetting the important part of growing up, proper guidance is at risk since the technology is really emerging and many factors are influencing the young minds of his generations.

I like your comment about those who created such app, but the chance that they are not letting their own kids to play or to use the apps, not sure about that statement.

which its true that our children would easily mimic and follow out on what we are doing.Considering that you dont have any problems when it comes to finances then doing things is much more simpler.
We know that having more money or financially capable could almost do everything on what they do really have in mind.

In all means our children will follow the footsteps of the parents. By the time it is our responsibility to lead them in the right path. Such a mentality should never arise within a child. Financially free could end up in danger, so it is always good to teach them (make them understand how parents are struggling to make money). This will make the children to spend responsibly and know their limits.

It is the responsibility of every parent to guide their children in the right path. Education cannot be inculcated in children which reflects badly on the children. Every child has a certain age limit at which time if they are managed properly then that child will definitely be guided in a good way. All parents should be aware beforehand and guide the child in the right direction.

You are right because as parents, we want to see our children grow up well without any significant problems like gambling addiction. We have to make sure that they are on the right path and we can teach them how to achieve financial freedom instead of making money from gambling because it will not be easy at all. The mentality of children is not yet stable even if they have reached adulthood and still need assistance from their parents so the task of parents does not stop even though they are adults.

The question is how to achieve that? In today's world and as a father myself, I can tell you that it's practically impossible to control or even keep an eye on your children 24/7. Kids, if they are not out with their friends, they will stay in their rooms with phones/tablets/PCs and open access to the internet or watching TVs with all sorts of ads. How can you protect them from all this and limit their exposure to ads and content which is not suitable for their age?

Agreed, and this is the reality. We might be technology wise skilled, but they have got the ability to overcome the activities that are being used to keep them in a restricted circle. Being open to them could make them understand than learning certain things themselves. Even before the kids find an opportunity to experiment certain activities it is good to have a discussion making them understand the after effects.

It is impossible to control or even supervise your children 24/7 but you have to keep trying to keep your relationship with them closer. If you can establish that close relationship, they will be more open to you and willing to tell you a lot about their world.

I see this trend occurring because parents are busy with their work, so they are less able to supervise their children and don't even know what their children are doing. As parents, we must try to approach our children because with today's technological advances, we can invite them to study together and not leave them alone playing on phones/tablets/PCs and others. When we can explain what is good and not good for them, they will slowly understand and not try to try. Parental supervision is very necessary for this.

Definitely need parental supervision and control over what your child does with a mobile phone, tablet or computer. 
And if you notice suspicious sites that the child went to, it's always worth finding out what those sites are.  This definitely applies to online gambling.  By the way, it is not always necessary to directly ask the child why he went to some sites.  This can only hurt and he will be offended that you are following him.  And even worse, he can make password entries and you won’t know at all what he is doing on the Internet. 
In short, one must be careful and careful in communicating with the child on the issue of communications on the network.

~ I also, don't have a good parent to have an example to but I'll try to be survived on my own and be someone that I want.

I sincerely wish you to succeed in this, my friend. It is not easy to live decently without an example in your own family, but it's possible if it is your goal, and you are working hard to achieve it.

I personally know 2 people from different families whose parents were gambling addicts, but these guys they don't follow their parents' example. In fact, they don't want to even hear about gambling.

Relationship between parents and their children is really important, now that we are embracing the digital era where communication using the internet is really hard to address, I mean we can't supervise our kids 24/7 that's reality.

But if we can open our lines and let them know that we are always there to assist them, listen to them, take time to sit with them and discuss what kind of life is waiting for them, explain the possibilities and what are the risk.

As parents, we are the first support line that needs to have an established a bond with our kids. They do have a better overview of anything if we guide them to the right path of life, generally speaking.

It all depends on the nature of the person in choosing friends, even though they are in a gambler's family environment, even though each child has a different nature but the role of friends in the social environment can affect a person, even though there is a term (fruit doesn't fall far from the tree) that term sometimes often pinned by people, to be the family of the gambler, the role of friends in life can be good or vice versa so it all depends on how they choose friends in their environment..

You are right that mate it's our duty as a parent to guide our children , listen to them if they have a good suggestion but like in the OP tackled above it's the decision of Michael Jordan and his son gambling to relax and have fun and nothing wrong about that it because they have a lot of money they can afford what they want to do or buy. But as of me I don't let my children known in gambling in the young age maybe in the right time if they want to gamble them it's okay.

[LUCKMCFLY]

When it comes to online gambling, this is quite difficult to do.  Until the child is very young, for example, up to 8 years old, when he goes to bed early, it is still possible if the father plays at a late time when the child is sleeping.  And if the child is older, then he will definitely know that his father plays online games and will also be interested. 
Here the father has only two options - either not to play at home at all, but only somewhere else, or not to play at all.

Wait... I seems not to totally agree with this very statement of yours, because i kind not no understand why people always try to hype the idea why most people always hyped the idea why a father who had kids can not gamble. Because I'm pretty sure with the use of smartphones, tablet and laptops a father can easily gamble without influencing his kids, because if you could observe, fathers barely spend most times with kids, and gambling on a smartphone takes nothing less than barely 2-3 hours to place a bet

Views on gambling are ever changing and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to it. What's more, there is a lot of debate about how parents can keep children safe and away from potential harm and addiction. I really agree with you because I'm pretty sure with the use of smartphones then a father can easily gamble without influencing his kids. But I also think that most fathers would like to spend more time with their kids if they could. In order to keep kids safe, we should take time to know them and spend time with our children to have a better understanding of what is happening in their lives. Some children are attracted by gambling so, it is the responsibility of the parents to make their kids understand that gambling is much like an addiction that shouldn't be taken lightly.

I very much respect the decision of some parents to give their children a smartphone, it is something that they can be very bold with certain tools, but I am also part of the fact that a child or adolescent invents many things and it is not the idea that they can do something that causes emotion, and as I have said before in other posts, it is not so much the danger that he enters a casino and plays, but that the child falls into chats with people who are very ill-intentioned, with pedophiles, with many people who make them scare a lot, even persecute them, for me that is much more dangerous, of course both casinos and prohibited sites are something that a child can easily enter, that is where one of the parents should be supervising them.

Well, one of the most common techniques that can be applied with children is to keep them on a schedule for everything, that is, because what you say is true, a child cannot be glued to a PC or a phone most of the time. Of part of his time, he has to do other activities, if he does sports it is a plus that helps a lot, however when it comes time for the game or something like that, it is good to know if the PC is left for 1 hour, the Parents, whether dad or mom, should be aware of them, because it is something that cannot be neglected.

If a parent is unable to care for their own children, then what are they raising? They have to take charge and it is such a responsibility of the parents the way a child acts and how he develops, that is something that they can never forget, then that is a technique, the schedules and routines in the children if it is something necessary.

It is also up to the parents if they want to do things like that or lead a totally messy life with their children, everything changes when the children adhere to the rules and it is necessary for that to happen, that they abide by the rules, because otherwise in schools and formation will have problems.

Good point. What happens is that with the passage of time, we have reached a point where we have to talk about excessive use of the device both from a behavioral and medical point of view, because we realize that when it comes to using these tools some children stop doing other things like socializing with friends or family members, reading a book and even studying, and can negatively impact children’s social lives and academic performance. As a parent, I think this is something very important, so once again I invite parents to talk to their children, to be aware of social networks, because on these platforms there are many people with evil intentions, there are things like cyberbullying and other kinds of ill-treatment that can have a very negative impact on children’s lives.

But we're going too off-topic here, so I'll stop now.

It all depends on the nature of the person in choosing friends, even though they are in a gambler's family environment, even though each child has a different nature but the role of friends in the social environment can affect a person, even though there is a term (fruit doesn't fall far from the tree) that term sometimes often pinned by people, to be the family of the gambler, the role of friends in life can be good or vice versa so it all depends on how they choose friends in their environment..

Being surrounded by bad influence friends can influence a person even if he or she grew into a good environment in their family. That's really something to be thought about in terms of behavioral process as everyone is learning new things not only from their parents, from the technology but mostly, from the surroundings and neighborhood they live at.

Several factors influence a person's lifestyle but the most powerful among them is the family the person grows into and the kind of environment they find themselves in, It is easy for a child to copy the lifestyle of the parents but it is sometimes minimal what environment contributes and even the environment a child grows into is chosen by the parent because the child can not determine the environment they grow up is the responsibility of the parent before the child was born to find a better environment for their kids.

When you are living on an environment which is your family then the things they've been doing would really be a huge factor that could really affect you as well when it comes to activities and other related things
that they are commonly been doing.It is really just normal that kids or children or other family members would really be that influenced and this is where parenting and guidance would be setting in.
Us parents arent that dumb like to see that our children do messes up their lives but when you are on a condition which you do have the money or finances then it is really not surprising
that parents did really ignore or cant really do the responsibility that well and this would really be resulting into this.

I believe environment and association can influence children's behavior, this will be important when a parent wants to identify problems from their child's behavior. On the other hand, these things will not be the same from one country to another where maybe 18+ year olds are free to choose their own world regardless of the rules of their parents.

So it won't be the same, I'm sure many parents won't really care about the choice of their child over 18+ especially in European countries and American countries, so this should make a difference as to how the strict norms of life apply in my country.
