Never gamble in front of your kids.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

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.

I concur to this because it speak volume in my heart, just like sex education many parents see it as wrong thing to educate there children during puberty age many children who parents failed to teach when out and learned rubbish where the fall victim of what they would have avoided through good knowledge from parents.

To avoid gambling in front of your children is good but educating them shout be a something to hide for them let them know the risk if involvement and what it will course them and possibly way's of avoiding such. Though many argue that child that desire to spoiled spoiled even with caution but I don't much agreed on it because I with one family that parents refuse to teach in my society how the family ended negatively good knowledge is very important , training the child in the way they will go is the right thing.

If parent is hidden something like gambling to a child it should be done wisely if you failed to tell them the consequences because children is very good in discovery if they discovered it as secret they will go wrong as they will see to try what their parents is doing secret in a secret manner also I duely Concur irhact ideas

I might say that parents are lazy or often busy to educate their kids nowadays. This is due to progress and technology. We get so much new everyday, so much content, that we dont have time for our kids. Parents prefer to give kids a mobile and make the busy. Same goes with gambling. Instead of educating them about gambling, they prefer either gamble secretly, or make gambling a taboo topic. Just think about gambling and kids from following directing - teaching them about gambling is giving knowledge. They would be more experienced than other kids when they grow up. It is not necessary to teach that gambling is a form of making money, or be afraid that kids will get addicted.

Never gamble in front of your kids

This is a simple fact which I agree with, and the reason you are discouraged from gambling infront of kids is because kids learn from what they see, hear etc from people they trust , and if they see you on your phone or computer gambling... sooner or later they will jump on a phone when they get to have access to money and will gamble especially that our casino's/bookies don't ask for KYC from the time of registration..
And tbh any responsible parent should try mould kids to understand that you have to work hard to enjoy  a good life and nothing comes on a silver plate !!!

If one is going to gamble,this should be strictly for fun purposes and not going all in for the money such that when you lose you money you want to hurt yourself as punishment all thanks to greed.

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.

Many people are busy with their job and do not have time to supervise their children. That makes many people just gives money to their children because they thinks that can solves the problem but the real problem will comes to both parents and their children, especially if their children doesn't know how to manage the money.
We already see many children doing a wrong things and with the money from their parents, they thinks that they can buy many things but they are wrong. They can not thinks that not everything can be buy and they do not learn about how to socialize with other people.
The situation can becomes worst when children see their parents playing gambling in front of them so their children will thinks that playing gambling is a right thing for them. It needs awareness from parents so they can change their habit and will gives attention to their children so their children can grow without have a problem.

[madnessteat]

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.

I think that gambling with a child is not a good idea. As you know, the result of gambling is highly dependent on chance. What will you do if your child is constantly lucky in gambling with you? Wouldn't he want to test his gambling skills with his peers? Personally, I think that gambling with children can develop an interest in risk and excitement, which in my opinion is not very good. On the other hand, I have been gambling since high school and I don't blame my parents for not being able to protect me from gambling. It's actually quite controversial.

Showing that we do gambling in front of children is a mistake, whether it's adults or small children because they will imitate us and they don't know the right reason why we gamble, maybe we can say we are looking for fun in gambling but who is our adult child that we are trying our luck to get money in an easy way from gambling so that he will imitate what we do and think stupidly that could have spent his hard earned money, especially in front of a child who has no responsibility and with a mindset that is still developing and is very vulnerable to something that has a big risk, gambling will swallow the child, there are many incidents of young children in my country who do gambling because they follow their parents and end up with misery, and their adulthood is very bad.

As much as possible, we should not show our gambling activities to children. Children always have a high curiosity. and if forced and indeed children eventually find out about our gambling. So we have to take a stand and tell them well so that children don't have high curiosity about gambling.
however, they will naturally be aware of gambling. but we have to explain to children how they need to be more responsible and better prepared if they want to gamble. Kids today don't accept conflict. what they want is understanding and being understood. use a better and more appropriate approach. I think everything will go well.

[junder]

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.

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.

Indeed, currently there are a lot of people who are gambling streamers and I see that all the streamers who gamble are indeed using large betting amounts and not playing so it can make the sensation more tense, especially if the game is good, of course it can attract other people who see it, but I thought they were cooperating with the casino, but the risk of addiction and destruction from the negative effects of addiction still exists even though they are cooperating with the casino. whether the parents know what activities their children or family members are doing, but I think even though they have a lot of popularity, if they knew about the gambling they were doing, I think their parents would tell them to stop, because of course gambling can make them experience a lot. adverse effects.

Considering that gambling has a strong appeal, especially with the many advertisements spread about promising wins or the lure of wins that are easy to get, it can indeed attract many people, and especially when one of the family members gambles and can produce a win, even if the win is small. and if relatives or friends know about this, they may become interested and imitate what they do by gambling because they want to get the same result, namely winning. Of course, this has the potential to make them addicted to gambling, which could make them trapped in a gambling addiction and find it difficult to get out of it, therefore, even though their parents have taught them, it is entirely up to them to choose what they will do.

I can say that we never know what the future of a child will be. Parents can never predict (maybe only in rare cases) how a child will grow up. They can only help in guidance and smooth out sharp corners. Such thing "success in something will grow wish to test in future" can be applied everywhere. Success in racing video games does not mean that child will want to test his skills on a real road. As a parent, I see that for modern kids it is hard to focus for a long time on something with variety of things and options today. If in our childhood most of us were somehow limited, then modern parents wants to give and child ask for more and more every day. If a child see parents gambling, he might have some interest in it, but in a month, he will forget about his interest and will want to do/test/try/learn/have something else.

If you let the upbringing of a child be free-floating, then the child’s future can't be predicted, especially with destructive types of activity. By directing his interest in a positive direction, you can always tell who he will become.
 

If a child see parents gambling, he might have some interest in it, but in a month, he will forget about his interest and will want to do/test/try/learn/have something else.

And if a child sees his parents playing games of chance every evening, this will re-capture the child’s attention, remind him and re-interest him. Ultimately, forming a habit. Even if you tell him after this that gambling is bad and addictive, then what is said will not have any effect on him and with a greater degree of probability this child will be prone to gambling, because children repeat the habits of their parents.

Yes, children today have different characters so if we are wrong in educating them then it will be bad things in the future, we know that children today do not like conflict and violence unlike our era, maybe when they make a mistake then get one slap it doesn't matter what but it's different if children now.

So it would be nice not to show gambling activities in front of children because it will trigger them to reason that their parents also do gambling so they will easily turn their words to us if we give them an understanding that gambling is not allowed, we need to provide stimulation about the negatives of gambling to children so that they understand the level of risk that is caused when interacting with gambling.

[CroverNo01]

It is never always adviceable for any parent to teach his kid how to gamble,and even if they do not call them down to teach, gambling infront of them is another way of telling them that gambling is what you do,and at the child level,they see what ever you as the partent do as the best thing,and they would want to emulate thesame from you.Therefore,while gambling,one should be very cautious of the way he Gambles, expecially when his or her kid is sitted there.They are very sharp and copy things so quick,so being careful is the only way one can keep it cool and clandestine from them.

I agree with you. Children don't understand anything about good and bad. They just want to have fun. Therefore, do not gamble in front of your children. You may be able to manage your gambling funds and your desire to gamble. It's normal because we are adults. But children are different. If they have gotten dopamine from gambling he or she will not be able to stop and is very likely to become addicted. It is very, very dangerous if children are addicted to gambling. His life will be ruined. I can't imagine it. Let children enjoy what is in their world.

Every time I see this thread, I remember how time has evolved a lot, nowadays I have seen many children under 5 years old with phones that have access to the internet and that also have games, not games of chance , but they are normal games. Still, I think that in a way it's an exaggeration that children are playing so early, for example some games I've seen children playing



my country's children are playing Subway Surfers, I'm wondering the following: if a parent allows a child under 5 years old to use their cell phone, table and play Subway Surfers, then as the years go by This child can easily master technology, can easily access the internet and see the games that exist and it won't take long for this child to find gambling games. So, in my opinion, it is necessary for parents, when giving technology to children, to keep an eye on the children, teach them about the dangers of certain games, block access to bank cards so that children do not use their parents' cards in casinos, put alerts on bank accounts so that they are notified by the bank if any amount of money is withdrawn.

Actually this game is old but when it comes to offline games then this is something significant on which those young or even to those toddlers would already be that open when it comes to these type of games and i can attest to this when my brother is still young on which he's really that playing this game on which my mothers phone have this kind of game or other games on which this would really be that opening that kind of idea
about playing games. This might be that indirectly playing and not really that playing gambling but of course this would really be that opening that kind of idea on which it would be molded up later on
but of course not every those youngsters would really be ended up on being a gambler. This is why it would really be best that as a parent that you should really know on how you would be making yourself having such prohibition with your kids about doing playing gambling.

Never gambling in front of your kids on which we do know that it is really that something that they would really be that easily be able to adapt on whatever the things that they would really be able to see specially into their parents on which they could be with all the time. So as a parent then it would really be just that normal for you to guide your kids on the best way as possible on their lives.
Anything that could affect their growth or well being then it would be your responsibility of course.

Of course, the player will not tell family members that he is gambling, especially children will hide it until the last moment, because they intuitively understand how great the rage and dissatisfaction of their parents will be. After this, children may face punishment and education in the form of a ban on playing outside for 2 weeks with friends after school, or something even worse.

Of course, the rumor about winning spreads with great speed among all relatives and acquaintances. My mother still tells me about her friend who managed to win something. I tried to explain to her that she was the only one who won out of a thousand losers, but my mother didn’t even want to listen to that. In short, these rumors can also be dangerous for children it is better to watch your speech even when we tell similar things to our friends about other people’s winnings.

It is never advisable or good to gamble in front of your kids because you are hurting them emotionally by seeing you as their father gambling, this is for those That they have already thought at school that gambling is a bad thing and they feel like their father is doing the wrong thing but they can speak about, it is just like smoking and your kids seeing you smoking, because they already know that smoking is a bad thing and it has already been placed on their minds set

Gambling in front of children means influencing gambling in front of children. And if you yourself influence your children to gamble, they will be attracted to gambling very quickly which will affect their future career. so if you become a father you don't want to have any bad impact on your child's future and want your child's future to be very good. so tag your gambling habit atleast avoid using it in front of kids. Gambling may provide us with a lot of entertainment, but it harms us both behaviorally and financially. so gambling should be use very short time shouldn’t use for long and always should keep gambling habhit secret

You are right @bangjoe, children are so smart that they can easily copy what someone is doing in their presence whether it is a good or bad thing they can just copy it are start practicing it in the absence of their parents. Sometimes, parents usually contribute to corrupt the attitude of their children and if those children are not properly given a good moral they can grow up with a lifestyle that can ruin their life. There's this story I read, a boy grow up in a home where his dad usually beat his mum and when he grow up and got married too, he started to beat his wife like the dad did to his mum. Am also on the opinion of not gambling around kids.

Yes, every child will see the behavior or habits of their parents, whether it is bad or good, even though it will still be embedded in their brain's memory, one day they will try to learn it, that's why as parents, never imitate or do something that is bad for their memory, even though in the end the child will get to know gambling out there but don't let them learn from their parents, even if they see other people playing gambling out there it won't be a problem for them it's not something they will learn either, because they only see other people gamble not his parents.

Unless they see their parents gambling, they will definitely try it in the future without their parents knowing, so it doesn't matter if they see gambling outside the house and if they ask us as parents, of course we have to explain it correctly so that mistakes don't happen, whatever we do. Also say it will have any effect. The point is don't make a child try gambling. Make sure that they think gambling is a disgusting game so they won't try to play it, let alone find out more about gambling out there or via the internet which can usually be found easily. there.
