Never gamble in front of your kids.

[TopTort777]

Because you you failed to teach them the risks and bad aspects of gambling, they may learn it from the street where the may get the bad teaching about gambling which could become a big Borden on the parents in the future.

Actually, there is no need to teach children about the risks if we as parents can hide our gambling activities. In the end, gambling at online casinos is sometimes one thing we have to pay attention to is that our children don't see us gambling at online casinos because gambling at online casinos is good. Using cell phones or computers and so on means that we have to be able to keep it out of our children's sight, so try so that they never see it so that we don't have to give any more explanations to our children.

I gamble at home using a cell phone at an online casino and I try to avoid it where the children can see us at any time while gambling, so it's best to gamble at night where our children are fast asleep and that's the most effective way to avoid the children knowing about gambling on our cellphones, especially since there are many negative impacts they will face if they try gambling, but it all comes back to the parents, how they can control themselves when gambling and not recklessly gamble in front of their children. Whatever children learn depends on how their parents educate them.

That is a point I would like to comment. So you gamble on a cell phone. That is something kids are used to a lot today. If you would switch to a notebook, that will make your activity less curious for kids. That works in my family, and in many others. When parents are behind PC or notebook, that means they are working. When they are on the phone or tablet - they are doing something for relax or entertaining. Other example - when we played cards with friends, kids barely pay attention to it, because they say it is "boring". So the more physically your gambling game is, or more complicated gadget you use for gambling you use, the less curious it will look for kids.

Your very right, gambling in front of children can cause them to develop early gambling habits and it could be a trouble for thme growing up cause they would always want to use their money to gamble seeing it as a source to get more miney which is worng, parents should learn to keep habits off children cause childcare learn by observation and would replicate what their parents do.

It's better that way. Although we want to gamble freely in our house, we should also think about the effects that it will have on our kids. I learned it the hard way. I used to curse inside our house and my kids always heard me say it and then suddenly I was shocked that they repeated what I said clearly. I didn't like it when I heard it which is why I stopped using cursed words in our house.
Kids will always observe and mimic their parents because they think it is right or they just want to copy anything for fun. That is the reason why we should not let our children have any clue about what gambling is or how it works. There are ways to do this and one way is when they are away at school or they are already sleeping. We should always be mindful of what we will do when we are near them because they can easily absorb it and copy it.

Kids absorb everything we say and do. And gambling? Men, it's a psychological pleasure ride. We bring that home and hardwire our kids to chase that rush. This thing makes youngsters riskier, according to science. This is good parenting, not helicopter parenting. Our time is while they're at school or asleep. Man, we have to construct their universe and strategically expose them to crap. We must educate children about danger, not merely keep them from gambling

Help them think critically. Teach them budgeting and chess. Teach children decision-making and consequences in healthy ways. There are a million ways to teach risk assessment without gambling. Give kids the skills to make smart choices, not merely protect them from poor ones

Despite the aggressive publicity on gambling around every environment lots of people still don't engage into gambling, due to the type of training given to them by their parent. Unfortunately, some parents tell their kids ill things about gambling which scare them away from the act. It helps but it's not right to tarnish the image of gamblers in your kid's presence. However, parents who gamble around their kids, also, are not getting things right because of the disadvantages this will cause in future on the children. We all need to draft a specific time for gaming especially when the kids are sleeping or away from the house. I don't seem to understand why some players gamble openly.

Does it mean their rooms are not enough for gambling. Kids are mainly trained to spend time in their own room or the sitting room. They rarely stay in their parent's room. It's always okay for a dad or mom to gamble in their private rooms for the safety of the children. While, still, educating them on the needs to stay clear from gambling and how rough it could be for young people. This is necessary because of the society we find ourselves, not all parents care about their kid's wellbeing, if we don't gamble in the presence of our kids, other people could be doing this, and we don't know who they are, if same kids from a home with such parental training spend time with ours. So, preparing the kids to repel on any advice from whosoever, regarding participating in gambling at a tender age, is important.

That's good if kids not involve into gambling because they already gets information from their parents that gambling can gives bad impacts to their lives so they will not gets into gambling. Their parents just shows the bad impact to their kids because they see many kids involve in gambling and makes their lives ruin because of gambling.
They don't wants to see their kids lives ruins too so they always guides their kids in the right track and makes sure that their kids really stay away from gambling. They will not shows to their kids when they playing gambling because they don't wants their kids follows what they do.
Parents can sits together with their kids and talk each other to have a warm relationships and makes they have a closer relationships. But the fact is not many parents can do this because many parents have busy with their works so they don't have much time with their kids.
That can makes their kids feels alone and will gets closer with their friends which can gives a bad impact to them. Parents can't educate their kids with right if their kids is not closer to them and their kids will have a rebellion to their parents and makes things worst.

That's a challenging aspect of such a societal problem. Most families handle two jobs just to meet up with their family financial responsibilities. Parents rarely get involved with their kids due to business and work. However, the workload doesn't occupy the whole day for a gambler. It's all about fatigue and tiring work activities that really separates parents from teaching their kids. Amidst the difficulty some gamblers who make out time still, to play games can funnel the energy towards tutoring their kids. Maybe make out time twice a week to help the kids stay away from wrong influence. Those who then due to whatever reason it is, gamble in the midst of their children are to be cautioned to stop it.

This won't be as a result of being busy in the office or anything else. It's all about negligence and a poor parental training. I do see them as people with symptoms of compulsive gambling. Kids requires consistent training to learn and once they do, It sticks to their brian for a long while. I could, myself, think of some early training received at a tender age, indirectly I was told about the need of saving money as a gambler. Due to a friend who was into a gambling activity that consumes his funds leaving him with no funds. So, instead of telling me not to gamble, my parents used the family friend as an example to teach us the bad impact gambling has on players.

Finally another one who understands that hiding act of gambling does not prevent anything. Explaining and talking are the keys to success to kids. Hiding act of gambling only helps a little, as it works on a really narrow area. Parents might not gamble in front of the kids, but as soon as kid leaves house door, parents can not fully control him. So it is better for my kid to be prepared to what he sees.

"Never gamble in front of your kids" would work and be successful it everyone would do that. But parents can not force other to do what they want. A perfect pink world with ponies, smiling people and peace does not exist.

I agree that talking and discussing gambling with a child is necessary, but I still think that if a child sees their parent gambling it can cause wrong associations in the child. A parent is always a role model for a child, so the likelihood that a child of a smoker will smoke in the future is higher than a child whose parents do not smoke and play sports. I think the same goes for gambling. I am in favor of parents explaining to their children what gambling is and what the risks are, but gambling is better when the child does not see it.

Kids always observe and adopt whatever they see or heard from those adults that they have from their surroundings, learning it only from observing and there's no need for anything as the kids easily adopt and we can't control that without proper guidance, like what happened to you, it's just by hearing it and you just find it out that they already using those words without really knowing what's the meaning of it.

Same deal with gambling, if they see those adults who are enjoying they will think that it will be okay for them to try and enjoy that same game those adults are playing, we need to be very careful on what we are showing them, it should be from us since we are the one that they are following and we needed to be a good example for them.

That's true, kids are very good adapting to whatever they observe their parents do they'll always want to imitate and behave like their parents most time, and as parents their are some things an individual should avoid doing in the presence of their kids, like smoking, drinking Alcohol, making out or involving in deep romantic activities and of course gambling. Parents shouldn't put themselves in a situation where they'll ruin their own kids.

 So far the kids see that their parents are not troubled doing it or are happy won from it, they'll tend to try thinking it's a game they'll win money from. Kids love food and material items what could come into the thought of the kid could be winning money to buy his favourite toy or his favourite snack. I concour that parents need to be extremely careful with the activities they carry out in the presence of their kids.

At their young age then it is really that something that would really be that so easy to adapt on things on which it would really be that understandable that anything that you do as a parent should really be something
that should really be hidden or something that they shouldn't really be that able to see so that they wont really be that copying it because they are really that too easy to adapt on whatever the things that they would really be able to see around. This is why as a parent then we should be that careful on the things that we are dealing with and since we do know that gambling is a bad thing when things becomes excessive then it would be that right that you should avoid them as much as possible. We do know the risks and we arent that blind with that possibilities are there.

There are really those conditions that we cant be able to stop them on engaging or seeing gambling considering that technology or internet nowadays which it cant be avoided that there would really be that some sort of exposure on which this is something that would really be that different into gambling where our kids could possibly be able to encounter it, which is why it would really be that intuitive that you should really know on how to
make them learn or knows about it because if you dont high probability that they would become gamblers if not really that been monitored or would really be able to see them.
So it would really be that still that parenting would be relevant.

From observation, if parents give a description to what they are doing and answer most of the questions children raise, then parents can do almost everything that is morally ethical in front of them. I notice that most of posters here mention that parents are afraid that kids might get gambling addiction. Then why not it would be better to explain to children what is gambling addiction. Because it looks from the side that parents protect children from things they dont know. And it would be better to protect kids from dangers and troubles they might get today and in near in future, then in far future.

Even when parents explained what gamble is and what addicted can cause the children will still gamble and most of the children might not gamble safe and it might make them to become addicts. When a child is not matured enough to make a decision, the child will make a mistake and it will not lead the child to well. like some people always says that what happens to their fellow gambler or mate can not happen to them because they cant make that same mistakes, sometimes its not about the mistakes, its about the decisions the person takes, no one is perfect that's why we all makes mistakes, but it's good that in every mistakes we make we should be able ti make an amends so that we don't do them again.

Dont you think that parents postpone to much on a "matured period"? When kids hit 18 they start testing and doing all those things that they were not allowed to do. How come they make right decisions, when they are completely new to things, but adults around them expect them to be experts already (grown ups often say that "you are now adult, so act appropriate"). But what if kid comes to  a matured period already a little bit experienced, a little bit knowing what is what? Would not it help him to make right decisions?

That's right, the best way to protect children from misunderstanding something is a regular conversation with their parents. It is important that children understand perfectly well what is happening to parents who are engaged in gambling.
If the parents, or one of them, express a lot of emotions (for example, I often rejoice loudly while gambling), then you need to explain to the child what is happening.

But I am in favor of not playing gambling games in front of children at all, because it will be difficult for them to understand all the subtleties of what is happening to a parent.
There is also a risk of falling into a tilt, and this condition should not be shown to children.

I think that expressions you make during gambling arent much different from those that you make during other actions. What are they? Anger, happiness, sadness, concentration, calculation, silence, excitement and etc. Kids see all that emotions from you anyway. Definitely you explain to when why you feel exhausted when you get home from work. When you feel anger if your favorite team looses or you hit your finger with hammer for example. And so on and so forth. You did not hide all that. But somehow you wish to hide you get all that from gambling. I did not understand that.

That makes sense friends, indeed if they don't want their children to be addicted to gambling of course they have to be able to prevent it and maybe they can tell them about the bad effects of gambling which can destroy their lives, but I think of course they should also be told when they are old enough to be able to do it. determine which things are good and bad, because when they are adults of course they will have the relationships they choose and the relationships they choose determine for themselves whether they will carry out negative or positive activities, because even though their parents forbid it, their social environment can change them.

but there is no harm when children are old enough to be advised about gambling, because they will think and decide to stay away from gambling or even approach it because of the social surroundings. Parental education plays a big role in their growth, but external education, such as from the environment, can make them familiar with gambling, with their parents not knowing that their children are already familiar with gambling. but if parents have educated them well, such as explaining gambling and its fatal negative effects, maybe that can be a benchmark for them not to gamble.

In my opinion, no matter how well we do not explain to the child what is gambling, risks and losses, he will not understand it fully without personal experience.

My parents explained many things to me as a child quite accessible language, I understood their point of view, but I still experienced everything on my personal experience and gambling is no exception.

That is why I believe that if you completely exclude from the child's life moments when his parent is gambling, it may increase the likelihood that he will not show interest in this area of entertainment at all, because nowadays children have more opportunities in the field of entertainment than in my childhood.

Of course, with a good education, the chance that children will grow up and become addicted to gambling decreases, because they will understand all the subtle processes on which gambling is built. I don’t want to say that this will always be the case because I personally saw how an educated player turned into a gambling streamer and ended up losing everything for real. Although it would seem that he could easily make money only from streams and casino sponsors, as well as donations from viewers. But he couldn’t keep calm and he wanted more, he fell for the bait.

I would also like to mention that there are those who do not have their own children and they do not understand that when they play, the children of neighbors and relatives can copy our habits and do the same, even as a joke, but in the future this can develop into a serious addiction even in adulthood age from these memories. This results in an indirect effect.

That is correct. Parents might protect kids from something particular only at home. Then the kid goes outside and learns new things and learn them in the way street presents him. It makes sense to gamble in front of kids and if they show interest explain what gambling is. Explain its purpose in the way you want them to learn it. Not in a way a stranger explains them. I want my kids to learn that gambling is for entertainment, not, for example, a way to cheat drunk and naive people for easy money. I would better teach and play with my kid a game of shell just for fun, instead of him learning it himself on the street when being 18+ while gambling with sharper.

What I think about this whole situation is that education of kids begins from parents and a home, if parents fail to educate their kids properly then they'll go out and get wrong education from the neighbourhood, there is even a part of the holy bible that states that parents should train up their children in the way they should know and when they're old they'll never depart from it.

 Most parents fail to do that, some don't even have a good relationship with their kids and allow them to move freely with kids in the streets without proper advise or education concerning certain things. If you educate your children properly, even though they mingle with corrupt children they'll remember your advise and try not to do things that would bring disgrace to the family.

Kids always observe and adopt whatever they see or heard from those adults that they have from their surroundings, learning it only from observing and there's no need for anything as the kids easily adopt and we can't control that without proper guidance, like what happened to you, it's just by hearing it and you just find it out that they already using those words without really knowing what's the meaning of it.

That's true, kids are very good adapting to whatever they observe their parents do they'll always want to imitate and behave like their parents most time, and as parents their are some things an individual should avoid doing in the presence of their kids, like smoking, drinking Alcohol, making out or involving in deep romantic activities and of course gambling. Parents shouldn't put themselves in a situation where they'll ruin their own kids.

yes, we as parents are the hero of our children as they are looking upon use so whatever
we do in their front ? of course they will copy that and surely they will follow what they see
on us.

So far the kids see that their parents are not troubled doing it or are happy won from it, they'll tend to try thinking it's a game they'll win money from. Kids love food and material items what could come into the thought of the kid could be winning money to buy his favourite toy or his favourite snack.

actually our kids are also vulnerable outside our house because we cannot look after them
every second of the day and they can find whatever outside world can show.
