Never gamble in front of your kids.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Personally I think there are three things we need to be sure of before betting.

• I need to have extra money. So that if I lose money it doesn't affect my daily life.
• I must have full knowledge about the subject on which I will bet. Otherwise there is a high possibility of losing money. So first of all we have to study about the subject on which we are going to bet. Bets should be placed after knowing completely.
  
• Our nerves must be strong. Gambling is definitely not for the faint of heart. We must be mentally strong.
  

In children or young people we will not see any of these three points. This is why children and young people should definitely stay away from gambling. If not, they may be in great danger.

Even if we focus more on the first point you have given, the kids or the younger generation will immediately be out of the question. The first and most important thing in gambling, they need to have money to start gambling. There's no other way that a young kid will have money to gamble unless they are part of a very rich family.

I agree that the best thing to do is to make them stay away from gambling. Let them enjoy being young and have fun without getting to know anything about gambling.

You are right. Usually children or young people do not have enough money to gamble. But I have seen in several news reports that young men are involved in crimes like theft and robbery to finance gambling and drug addiction. Also I got a news from India that a minor son squandered his father's savings by gambling. I have seen several such news.

However, we should always bet carefully. and trying to hide gambling from children or young people. This is for adults. And I would say gambling is only for those who earn money.

I agree with you. Although I may not have kids, but I have siblings and nephews. As much as possible I gamble when I'm in my room or I'm alone. I do not let kids see me gamble. Kids are very curious about what they see and always ask about it. So, it's better for them to not be exposed with gambling activities as it would always affect or influence their behavior and attitude. Keep gambling out of kids sight, and if they see, have an open communication about the potential harm of gambling.

Gambling is not as dangerous as you might imagine, the behavior of gamblers who cannot control their emotions can have a dangerous impact on the people around them. Keeping gambling activities away from children needs to be done in order to prevent negative things that can damage their mental and emotional state. There comes a time when they have integrity with gambling when they are able to make their own money or are already adults.
Parents need to keep gambling away from their children until they grow up, after that they can determine their attitude when they are able to control their emotions and also make their own money.

I see your point it should be done the right way, keeping your gambling participation away from your kids is also keeping them out from any awareness on gambling while they are still at their young age, it's safe to avoid them getting any interest though there's no assurance that you can completely prevent them as growing up there's chance that they will cross the same path when someone else introduce this venue and give them ideas how things works around.

But, in terms of influencing your kids, that's very important not to allow them to learn things especially with their young minds they will think that's okay when they see you gambling and if they notice that you are enjoying.

It would really be just that right that you should really be that a responsible parent on trying out to hid your gambling activity into your kids on which we know that they are really that too easily get influenced on the time that they've seen their parents are really that doing gambling on which we know that children do really treat up that things that their parents been getting involved into would really be that always a right thing into their eyes. So that on the time that they do grown up then as early as possible they would really be tending to gamble because this is something that they've seen into their parents and this is where they would really be starting up that gambling involvement. As a parent, can you afford on seeing your children to get involved just because of what you have done?
For sure you would really be having those kind of regrets on which we know that this is something that you should really be avoiding in the first place.

Hey gamblers' community, hope you're all doing great.
I wanted to convey my message here that gambling in front of our kids may put adverse effects on their growing minds and they may also take the wrong path and start gambling (either by asking you personally for funds or by stealing it in order to fulfill their gambling cravings).

I'm sharing this because I saw this issue with my kiddo who was once watching me gamble at a website playing blackjack and she started asking me more about the game. Then one day, she wanted to play it herself and asked me if she can go for it and I said "no, it's not your legal age to go for such games". So, it's better to keep our kiddos away from gambling and let them focus on their studies, else it'd actually ruin everything for the whole family if the kid takes the wrong path.

I had a similar experience

Some of the things that makes children grow up with wrong knowledge is because their parents kept away information that they needed to know while growing up because they are afraid that if this children have an idea about what they kept away from them that they may start doing those things without their parents awareness but the best way to make a child stay away from a bad habit is to teach the child the basic necessity they need to know and the consequences that surrounds it If the choose to get involved because when you do that as a parent, you have already given the child the knowledge of the dangers involved so even if they are introduced to those things by others outside it will be difficult for them to take part in it.
Not letting our children know that we are gamblers doesn't mean we should keep them away from knowing about the repercussions if they choose to gamble.

I basically think like this as well, there is a difference between teaching a kid how to gamble, a very irresponsible thing to do, and teaching them how gambling works and why it is not a good idea for them to participate in it, this way in the case one of their peers tried to introduce them to that world, they will be prepared to take a responsible choice and stay away from it, unlike what happens to those that are kept ignorant about the dangers of gambling at such an early age and decide to try it because the rest of their friends are willing to do it.

Influence of addiction indeed damages child mindset and growth and development, all things that result in addiction and not only in gambling but like other things, drugs and also several other activities.
It just that what really has very bad impact on child is addiction to gambling and drugs, these two things can make child go wild, they will be uncontrolled and willing to do anything to fulfill their desires in carrying out these activities.
Gambling requires lot of money and using drugs also requires money to buy them, so there is no doubt that teenagers who are addicted will definitely engage in criminal activities to make money.
It is clear that this is very negative impact and as much as possible, parents must be able to prevent their children from being exposed to these activities so that they do not know about them or even try to do them.

Yes, because as parent it is you obligation to provide direction, education and learning for you child.
After all, what we do and show to our children is what our children will also do in the future.

I appreciate you because kiddos are so intelligent for discovering new things, and new challenges. Kids want to invent new things. They through the questions for their parents and elders to know more about new things. Also, I have the same experience in this field, I have 2 baby boys. My elder baby boy's age is about 6 years. He is so much creative. I call him Finney. I am so much impressed with the name Harold Finney. For that, I called my 1st baby boy Finney and I called my 2nd baby boy Satoshi. Finney asks me always about Bitcointalk Community and Gambling. Very young age, I noticed his interest much about gambling. But now I'm afraid of him for his curiosity about Gambling. One day he said to me, "He wants to build a new idea or the easiest way to improve bitcointalk gambling community." Everybody in this community, pray for him in your prayers.

Because that's the age where they absorb more information because their brains are like sponges that would absorb those information no matter how trivial it is, that's why kids with trauma during their formative years have a hard time when they're growing up especially if that trauma wasn't dealt with, they remember those stuff that you do to them. Your story is a bit cute but I have to call it out as something really fishy like why does this kid already asking about the forum and the gambling community, pretty sure that you're not talking about it all the time that they'd pick it up easily, I'm really not sure if that's a real thing though, or maybe I'm wrong and you've got a genius kid. I don't know how that kid got interested with gambling but I'm going to tell you that you're either failing as a parent because you've likely exposed them to that, no way that it's all innate.

Looking at the societal adjustment to online gambling activities, its portability, accessibility, and numerous adverts. Kids will get in one of those sites where gambling is being promoted. Hence, sharing with the young ones the ethics of gambling and how it could be detrimental to their life, is quite important. Due to the risk of getting into those sites and trying out gambling, behind their parents. Parents must guide their children about gambling, such discussions could unveil some information the child already harnesses about gambling. It's also a better method of discovering if the young person is already trying out gambling. Because they'll never come out straight to tell their parents that they're gamblers.

As every child's goal is making his parents proud, hence they'll want to make quick funds to pay their bills themselves without involving their parents. So, instead of sitting back as a parent waiting for the child to discuss gambling first, it's proper to get them engaged in such conversation gradually. In ways that will promote responsible gambling and demote compulsive gambling. With lots of examples of gamblers who undergo or undergo the same fate of gambling compulsively, and how it affects their life in the future. These will help in building the child not to fall prey easily to gambling addiction, without opening up to his parent. Since he knows they've had such a conversation before, he wouldn't find it difficult to start the discussion this time.

Another one that has illusion that if a kid see or know what is gambling, he will turn into addicted gambler. Can you try to describe what harm gambling can do to a kid without using words addiction, money or irresponsible?

I see two different approaches about teaching kids what is gambling. First is when you explain, teach rules, gamble with a kid. Second is when you teach that he could earn from gambling. First method I find harmless, other can have consequences. But in general you can teach your kid everything and anything. It is all up to you and what kind of example you will shot to them. In fact, it is not always to educate children, but better to educate yourself, as they will be like you anyway. Always start with yourself and they will be your copy.

There wasn't as much entertainment in my childhood as there is today, so we played card games. At first we played without using money, but when we got older and had the opportunity to have our own pocket money we started playing card games for money. Whether it is good or bad everyone decides for himself, but I think that from that moment I became a gambler and playing without money stopped bringing so much emotion as playing with money. In my opinion, teaching children to gamble is not the best idea, because in any case they will come to the fact that they will play for money. I think it is better to teach children how to multiply money and that you should strive to make your money work for you, not you work for money.

It's  pretty normal for children if they also do what they see in their parents, that's the nature of children so as a parent, we should adjust ourselves and limit the things we do once they are in front of us because they don't know the things that shouldn't be imitated because parents will serve as role models for children until they grow up. if they see what you and your spouse are doing, they can imitate it while they are young, not unless you explain every detail of what should not be imitated by children from what they see in their parents.

Children are good imitators so what they see from our bad habits, for example gambling, will of course be easily remembered by their brains to continue to remember it and force them to try doing it in the future, usually they will often feel curious if they have never tried doing it or received an explanation about gambling. What is meant, especially since the sophistication of technology is currently quite developed, they can know what his father is playing on his computer monitor, of course that will be the beginning of disaster for him.

The point is that as a parent or father, don't ever try to show your bad habit of gambling in front of your children. After all, there is still time to gamble when they are asleep. Like what I do, I only gamble at night when they are asleep. Don't force yourself to gamble too much in front of your children. Even though there is a very profitable gambling betting opportunity, don't be too enthusiastic, stay relaxed, arrange the time so they don't see it, don't let us explain what they should, don't ask about it, especially about the gambling that we play too often in front of them.

Overall, yes, it's true that children have a fairly high sense of curiosity, where they are always interested in trying things they haven't tried or things that interest them, but in fact, for example, if you gamble in front of them anywhere via your smartphone in an online casino, if for example you don't show any body movements that can attract their attention then I think they won't be curious about what you are doing, unless for example you are gambling by showing expressions that can attract attention as well as increasing the volume of a betting game being played. while you are playing, it is clear that a child will definitely come up to you and ask what you are actually doing.

Another thing is that in my opinion it is also unlikely for a child to immediately conclude that you are "gambling", because usually they don't have much knowledge, especially about gambling, but yes, if we are talking about preventive measures then it is clearly better never to gamble in in front of your children because the possibility of something bad could happen, the fear is that they will try to find a casino site on the internet according to what they see from the games you play.

Such kind of an approach will help those young minds not to deal with gambling if they are aware on what danger or risk that they'll going to encounter, like what you just said, two different approach and there's  a big difference especially when a kid being taught the right things that they need to understand, it's simple as you are preventing them and you are giving them that idea if they push their ways and let them enter they will just messing up with their lives.

It's something that needed to taking care correctly, as there are many adult person who are not caring about the after effects of what the kids are seeing from them.

Yeah right, they can easily immitate something and they can find the reason why they want to do things when they see someone who's doing it in front of them, curiosities is something that you need to consider when taking actions in front of your kids, and gambling is not exempted as they can simply use the internet to search for it and learn how things works.

Kids are smart, way smarter than we give them credit for. They watch us, they learn from us. Its how they make sense of the world. When we gamble around them, even if we try to be sneaky, they see it. And that sends a message, whether we mean to or not. It tells them gambling's normal, okay, just another fun thing grown-ups do.

Now, some say, "They dont get it anyway, whats the harm?" Wrong. Kids are always figuring things out, and normalizing gambling just sets a bad foundation. Its not just about them fiddling with a slot machine - its about the mindset we create. Do we want kids thinking luck and chance are the way to get ahead, rather than hard work?

Protecting kids isnt just about shielding them, its about showing them the right way. We gamble, they might follow along later. Thats on us. Lets be smart, responsible. Adult stuff stays in the adult world, period.

There wasn't as much entertainment in my childhood as there is today, so we played card games. At first we played without using money, but when we got older and had the opportunity to have our own pocket money we started playing card games for money. Whether it is good or bad everyone decides for himself, but I think that from that moment I became a gambler and playing without money stopped bringing so much emotion as playing with money. In my opinion, teaching children to gamble is not the best idea, because in any case they will come to the fact that they will play for money. I think it is better to teach children how to multiply money and that you should strive to make your money work for you, not you work for money.

If we would get addicted to what we were doing in childhood, then the world would consist from firefighters, astronauts, bandits, doctors and sellers behind the cashdesk. I was not spoiled by variety of games, toys and entertainment in my childhood either. As well as I played cards, rock-paper-scissors and other games, and from time to time used money to bet. We also had football tournament with money prize hood vs hood. Where teams consist of 5-15 yo kids. I even used to search and collect bottles, to exchange them for money, bought chewing gums and gambled with it (to win more gums and get stickers from it). I was doing the same everything other kids did that time. Thus, somehow there is no big passion to gambling today. I am definitely not interested to make money with.

Again, gambled a lot (if this can be called gambling) when was a kid, low interesting to gambling today. Rather strange, isnt it? Because almost everyone among 50 pages would say that my parents were bad at parenting, and I would have grown into gambling junkie.

Personally I think there are three things we need to be sure of before betting.

• I need to have extra money. So that if I lose money it doesn't affect my daily life.
• I must have full knowledge about the subject on which I will bet. Otherwise there is a high possibility of losing money. So first of all we have to study about the subject on which we are going to bet. Bets should be placed after knowing completely.
  
• Our nerves must be strong. Gambling is definitely not for the faint of heart. We must be mentally strong.
  

In children or young people we will not see any of these three points. This is why children and young people should definitely stay away from gambling. If not, they may be in great danger.

Even if we focus more on the first point you have given, the kids or the younger generation will immediately be out of the question. The first and most important thing in gambling, they need to have money to start gambling. There's no other way that a young kid will have money to gamble unless they are part of a very rich family.

I agree that the best thing to do is to make them stay away from gambling. Let them enjoy being young and have fun without getting to know anything about gambling.

You are right. Usually children or young people do not have enough money to gamble. But I have seen in several news reports that young men are involved in crimes like theft and robbery to finance gambling and drug addiction. Also I got a news from India that a minor son squandered his father's savings by gambling. I have seen several such news.

However, we should always bet carefully. and trying to hide gambling from children or young people. This is for adults. And I would say gambling is only for those who earn money.

           -  Yes, the children should not see it as much as possible, and we should hide it from them because they are truly miserable when they learn or become addicted to gambling.
Because once a minor learns to gamble without a job, they will learn to do something they shouldn't.
 
And most of that is able to steal money, sell stuff, and sometimes it even affects the relationship with the family.
