Never gamble in front of your kids.

[Miles2006]

Now, compare your behavior with your parents' different behavior. There must be differences, whether it's worse or better... the key point is the differences in your attitudes (between the child and the parent). Even though no one guarantees this possibility, gambling in front of kids is still not a positive idea. Don't you have a better goal than doing that in front of your child? There are plenty of other more beneficial activities, like putting together a puzzle or maybe assembling a bike.

At a start in the life of kids, they need to learn things that are positive first and when they get to certain age they socialize themselves into other things but by then they are already knowledgeable on the good ones and when they meet the other side, they know what choice to make, instead having the negative side as the only avenue to learning.

Some fathers gamble and smoke in the presence of the children and that gives the children the impression that it is okay to do that. I believe even in countries where gambling is legal, there is still age limit to start gambling so they don't need to learn it earlier than the age because they will tend to start gambling earlier when they have not mentally mature for it and can gamble away their school fees.

In addition, with today's technology where most people cannot be far from the gadgets they own so gambling advertises all over the internet and this also makes it easier for them to find out about gambling if they can already socialize with many people, also when they grow up they have the right to choose something that they think is good for themselves, even with gambling which is not a good thing they can just do it because they follow the current technological developments. They will also do it and try their luck because of curiosity, curiosity in adult children is very large, there are many things they want to know so they will do what they want.
With the development of technology at this time, gambling can be done by anyone regardless of age, unlike gambling in casinos which of course has rules against age limits, but online gambling does not require that, parental supervision of their children will disappear when they grow up because they will have their own thoughts and decide everything around them.

The more parents keep their gambling habit a secret the more  we hear stories like I started playing bet at an early age, so in conclusion some children who are into gambling today learnt it online, we can't protect and guard our kids forever and the use of cell phones are common now, every little child wants to own a cell phone, people nowadays no longer hide their gambling habit online they love showcasing their betting skill and any child that lacks proper home training can adopt the habit to gamble.
I don't know if this is common but anytime am with my phone and I enter any social app I will always see random videos  adverting betting platform, one thing with betting platform they have the best and smart move to advertise their platform even in skit videos I see comedians advertising betting platform.
So keeping our gambling life a secret from our kids that's not enough, but training them and setting a right example for them will be better, educating them about the consequence of playing bet just like what the op did.

That's how marketing ads affects some.people most especially those kids who are into social media. Kid's nowadays are very curious to try everything they see especially if the ads is very catchy with their claims of winning huge prize once you try it, Even some adults can fall into that .Since we're living with this modern technology, It is kinda hard to keep track their activities via phone so parents should know what will be the alternative ways to prevent their kids doing it. Even if a parents is doing well on hiding their gambling activity, their kids can get it from other people especially from those they see on social media so It's better to explain them about it and advice them that gambling is not for kids.

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 don't know why we shouldn't gamble in front of kids. Yes, of course, the gambling advertisers are losing everything for just gambling, and it's a bad influence on kids. I agree with that. But I really don't understand why people always think that when it comes to gambling, it's only for people who are addicted to gambling. There are people out there who have gambling responsibilities. And it's not really having a bad influence on kids at all, I believe. Because I know everyone knows about gambling, and everyone told us not to get addicted to it and to act responsibly. But no one tells us how to gamble responsibly, so when someone knows how to do it and it's helping kids to know, then it's not a bad thing to gamble in front of the kids.

First of all the parents should not be gambling in the first place. If the kid watches his parents gambling, he is going to think that it is a perfect thing to earn money. But of course that is not something anyone should do. Because it will only get you quick money. And we all know that quick money comes with slow problems.  A kid watching gambling at a young age is always going to cause serious problems in his mentality. And gambling is not a scale that is going to give you very good returns in the long term, if you want entertainment that is another talk.

Easy solution to your money earning from gambling issue - 1) teach kids that gambling is not the way to earn money 2) teach them alternative, more profitable way to earn money. Easy, problem solved. Want to show kids way to earn money quickly - pay them (little) for dishwashing or cleaning up the house.

"First of all the parents should not be gambling in the first place" - comment on that? Why is it prohibited for adults to gamble? And why you wear gambling signature then?

What mental problems kids get if they watch someone gamble? Banal circus visit cause more mental problems imho, when you start to think how these animals are kept and how they are trained.

[Litzki1990]

Will never gamble in front of my Kids , never mate because I know how gambling will change their life ,
I have also grow in a community that gamblers are constantly playing in front of their family , so yeah Will not let
them learn in early days but will tell them how it works in the mature days .and also there is a proper time for them
to start learning so let time flies and let them enjoy their time in school and playing.

Family education is the greatest education for a child, if he grows up with good family education from childhood then this quality of good education will remain in him throughout his life. I am not saying that gambling is a bad education but if gambling has a bad influence on him from childhood then it is not good for a child. It's not like parents are gambling so their children should be introduced to gambling from an early age but they should be given time and their brains to mature. If they decide to gamble in their mature brains that is their business but they cannot be indoctrinated with the idea of gambling from an early age and the environment at home cannot be such that gambling influences them.

Irrespective of how you think gambling, it is an adult practice and it shouldn't be introduced to kids as they are still in their learning and developmental stage. The parent may be very responsible in gambling, but this doesn't mean the child would, and the younger the child, the worse the effect could be. What children get to learn at a tender age often has a serious impact on their psychology, which is why it's important if parents avoid letting their children know about their gambling life, not only that, all other adult-related activities. This is unless the children got to learn it somehow, and if you are close with them, you will know pretty soon, which is where you will come in and educate them about it.

At this point, I expect such parents to talk badly about gambling to discourage the children at that age so that they will not see any light in it until they are of legal age or are mature and better able to handle adult-related things by themselves. This is what I call responsible parenting as gambling might not be entirely bad but it's entirely bad to expose young people to it, they may never recover from it.

The family environment for children is where a child instills character in himself by imitating his parents, parents are role models for a child in development. And again family education is an environment that must be positive so that children have a good mentality and mindset, because children spend more time at home, rather than studying and playing outside the home, so from research parents are the main teacher for a child to grow and develop everything.

As far as I know, gambling if it comes at an age and understanding of the world of finance is low, there will be problems in the future, because gambling will change a person if that person does not have principles and maturity in himself, so even if we are a gambler, never show our gambling activities in front of children because it will endanger our children.

While gambling by itself is not wrong, at the same time we recognize that there are a set of behaviors that are not appropriate for underage people as they are simply not mature enough to take the right decision by themselves, which is why things like alcohol, cigarettes and gambling are forbidden for them.

So early on parents that gamble should make an effort to hide their activities from their kids, as this is a behavior they do not want to be copied at such an age.

But most children can still see their parents or adults around them doing things that are not appropriate for their children to see. That's what finally made the children interested in trying it. In fact, I have often seen underage children smoking with their friends casually and as if they didn't care about other people seeing them. I have also seen children gambling with their friends in a place that is not too busy. They enjoy the card gambling games they play.

That is why parents must always pay attention if they want to gamble, drink alcohol or smoke not to be near their children. At least they can say they want to leave the house for a while and visit a friend so their children don't see what they are doing.

[Ricardo11]

You are definitely right. It is best to keep gambling away from children as much as possible. Because if children are addicted to gambling at the age when they are studying, then his life will be ruined and his family will be ruined too. Children will get addicted to gambling and his future will be completely ruined. So children should never be told about gambling. If we see a child addicted to gambling in front of us then we should try our best to bring that child on the right path.

Tons of bs in your post. Dont know where to start from...

First of all, if you see a kid addicted to gambling, never ever touch that kid and try to bring on right path. That kid has his own parents, someone who takes care of him and etc. Better talk to them if you want to help. Moreover, no one asked for your help. If you think that gambling is bad, then other might have different opinion.

I like how you described kids future - gambling is a problem of everything. And if the kid gambles, then he will be addicted and his next generations will be addicted Like gambling is a gene If gambling ruins lives, why it isnt forbidden everywhere?

Anyway, I gamble. Do you think I am addicted? Do you think I do something wrong? Do you think I have ruined or ruining my life ?

Environmental factors can cause children to fall into things that are inappropriate for children their age. Apart from preventing gambling habits that are often carried out by parents, children also need supervision in their playing environment. Children adapt most quickly to something new, at first they just try it, then they become addicted to everything they do. Parents must be more active in supervising all forms of their children's activities so that they do not do things that could harm themselves and others.

Once they felt that enjoyment expect them to continue and without your knowledge they actually doing it, I guess you should always be caring about what you are doing in front of your kids or in front of those young people around you, you can encourage them doing things without saying anything.

But with the way you do things in front of them, they are just observing and they will do things on their own. Be very furious and careful to avoid your kids from imitating you.

Your mistake to let them watch you gambling since the color and the games are attractive to their Eyes , they might think that it is a normal gaming but has opportunity to win.
any update to how your Kiddo act now? he stopped asking about it now?

[piebeyb]

With current advances in technology, it is easy for children to access anything, that's why never gamble in front of children, even if you gamble at an online casino using a cellphone or computer, still stay away from children as long as we want to gamble, always make sure they are really fast asleep so we can be calmer. playing gambling without having to worry about our children learning from what we play.

Personally, I always gamble at night when my children are sleeping and I can gamble in peace. If they are still not asleep, I usually accompany them to play because it is important as a father to accompany children to play until they feel love and don't feel deprived of that feeling. which makes them obedient to our orders as parents when we tell them to sleep, they will sleep immediately. That's why controlling yourself from gambling is very important. Control the right time to gamble.

This happens a lot, especially in the slum area where most parents are irresponsible and don't really care about the mental and emotional health of their children. They just loosely let them watch such kinds of activities until they become one of those guys and their parents no longer have any means to control them because they already gain muscles and strength. If you could only see how many cases of a son punching their father in our community back then just because their fathers wanted to discipline them, but what can you do when they already growing and you getting older as well? In the end, they became criminals and most of them are in jail right now just because of this kind of mistake caused by their parents.

Finally we have a real parent here. As a parent, I would gladly discuss some things with you. It is 10000% correct that you prioritize time spending with kids, then gambling. But do you really think that your kid never saw you gambling? If you say no, then I wont believe in it. At least once your kid saw you gambling and have asked what are you doing. No matter what answer you have give, I am sure that reply was kind of "OK" or "I understand", and the kid went doing his own things. Or sit near and waited for you to be free (you calmly have closed either browser tab or logged out). I mean nothing bad really happened from that situation. Rift did not appear in the ground and the devil did not shout from there that the soul of your child now belongs to him.

I agree with what you said. Children don't really imitate their parents. But children have a great opportunity to imitate their parents' activities. And I see that children have a high curiosity to try something. Usually they start by trying what their parents did. Parents who gamble in front of their children will record the activity and try it. This can have bad consequences because they are not yet mature enough to think and take a wise attitude. Maybe we gamble because it is a hobby and we only use our entertainment budget allocation. But children are different. They can become addicted because gambling produces pleasure when they win and curiosity when they lose. That's why gambling is legal in some countries with age restrictions. Children cannot control themselves like we adults. I think the most correct option is as has been said by @piebeyb. You are truly a true parent.

Personally, I always gamble at night when my children are sleeping and I can gamble in peace. If they are still not asleep, I usually accompany them to play because it is important as a father to accompany children to play until they feel love and don't feel deprived of that feeling. which makes them obedient to our orders as parents when we tell them to sleep, they will sleep immediately.

Yes, that's true because an unfavorable surrounding environment can have an impact on children's development so parents must provide more supervision over their children. Parents should start paying attention to who their children hang out with and try to communicate with them or at least want to know who their children's friends are. Most parents don't really care who their children's friends are, where they live, who their parents are and so on. By knowing what their children are doing, parents can at least pay more attention so that their children don't take the wrong path as they grow up. With guidance from parents, they can keep their children away from things that are inappropriate and inappropriate.

More important things in life is to guide our kids to the right pattern of life, doing things like gambling where the chance that they may gain interest of our children should be prevented, yes it's true that having good communication with your children may give them heads up and preventions, though it's a must not to allow yourself to create that interest,

I mean if you can play away from their site than better doing so, from that point you are both protecting yourself to influence them and you are also protecting them to learn about the gambling that you are involved with.
