Never gamble in front of your kids.

[Dunamisx]

What moral lesson is a father showing the children when he's gambling in front to f the children, they may not talk now but the memory of it all stick to their brain and they often remember sometimes in their closet we have to develope an attitude of caution and be disciplined in whatever thing we are doing, children should be restricted to some certain level of exposure, do that they can be engage in doing what os write as part of their decision in life, not that parents should constitute more danger to them

The after effect of that mistake will be the problem in case the case manages to use their parents' credit cards or any financial access once they learn about that kind of gambling that they are witnessing from their parents. I get your point and that's valid in terms of how you should react once the kid gets that chance to use their parents' access.

It's an alarming though can be avoided if you are responsible enough not to show such kind of things, better to do it secretly or away from the eyes of those young minds.

That means we as parents must try to hide our gambling activities from our children so they don't join in gambling too. But it would be better if we, as parents, no longer gamble so that we don't have to hide our gambling activities. Kids are smarter now and need to watch what we do and try it too.

And that's why we need to be responsible by not gambling anymore. We must be able to teach our children to be responsible for their lives from an early age. And we can teach them other things that are more fun.

The impact of parental behavior on children is crucial. Children, being naturally observant, mimic and internalize what they see. Modern youngsters are smarter and more perceptive. Hiding may not work anymore. Doesnt hiding something imply a problem?

Gambling, especially addiction, can harm individuals and their families. As you said, responsibility is vital. Teaching children responsibility is important, but so is modeling it. Shouldn't we be sure we're willing to walk a route before asking our kids to? Diversifying their interests and teaching them healthier, more engaging activities can enrich their lives.

Also you can first teach them about consequences and stop hiding that you gamble. Because not every activity that adults do and kids see it, turns into addiction. Instead of following societies decision "gambling=bad", let the kid came to that (or opposite) conclusion by himself.

I believe lots of kids saw how their parents cut meat, before cooking. More over, some kids even saw how adults clean fish (whole process from cleaning scales to entrails). Did it make kids butchers or maniacs? I guess no. But that process can influence the psyche greatly that gambling.

Also, I am sure that at BDs, NY or Xmas parents drink champagne (that is a minimum) when clock hit 00:00. Many kids observe that. Does it mean they gonna grow up as alcoholics then?

There's alot of responsibilities on our hands, as parents we must ensure that we are responsible to our kids and have a positive influence on their daily lives. They are only children, but they absorb in fresh knowledge that they see very quickly. When it comes to conversations, there should be a structure of leadership we should only tell them what is appropriate and what they are qualified to know, and we shouldn't be reluctant to let them know about the challenges and hardships life could present. Children are priceless gifts from life, and we should cherish and care for them.

One thing I also discovered on this discussion is that the kind of games children play is different form the one gamblers used to gamble with money. Children will not paly game that will not give them join and happiness. And they like cartoon Network games. Normal casino games are boring to them so they are not even interested to play those games. And children does not like sport the games like that. Though they can play the he's with PS2, 3,4 or 5 but for them to use money bet on sport games I have not seen such in my locality.  Though it is better to caution them at the early age so that when they grow up, they will not depart from the moral caution of the father.

That's not how it works all the time, there are children who get curious about almost everything they see their parents doing, and when they see them gambling, they get curious and will obviously start asking questions about it and some might even want to try it sometime, and kids of this era are very smart and they don't forget things very easily. That's why, we as parents need to be careful about what our children see us doing because those things will literally be imprinted on their minds.

It might be true that a lot of children might not be interested in the games that they see their parents playing unless it's a slot game because we all know that slot games are pretty interesting with their graphics and everything and it is fun to see the gameplay of some of the slot games like Sweet Bonanza, etc.

Children always try to repeat the behavior of their parents, because such actions allow them to gain new experience. Remember how we learn to draw - we just draw someone else's drawing until we start drawing it ourselves. That is why it is very important that children until adulthood do not see in the behavior of their parents that could provoke them to explore entertainment for which they are not yet ready.   

I will use your example When we learned how to draw, by repeating other drawing or with help, we did not became real artists that draw masterpieces. That is why if kids see parents gamble, most likely they would also only gamble from time to time, like their parents. They wont become paranoid on gambling, have shaking hand due to desire to place a bet every time they have money. Just teach kids that gambling is hobby, entertainment, time killer, but not a way to earn or get rich. And that is it. They wont become addicted just from watching or trying to gamble themselves from time to time.

My children have asked me several times about gambling because they have seen advertisements on the internet. I told them about the risks of gambling using the example of chocolate slices. They seemed to realize that it is not very reasonable to risk what you already have for a small chance to increase the number of chocolate slices. They also don't want to invest their chocolate slices with a 10% daily return. They want them here and now. From my observations they really enjoy playing computer games and watching entertainment content on Youtube. I am sure that if they never try gambling they will not be interested in it.

There's alot of responsibilities on our hands, as parents we must ensure that we are responsible to our kids and have a positive influence on their daily lives. They are only children, but they absorb in fresh knowledge that they see very quickly.

That's like their skill as a child, they are quick to absorb everything that's being fed to them and they've got the best memory being shaped as they grow. And with having these activities done in front of them, they're quick to remember and will ask you questions that you may not like because it gives you the guilty feeling that you shouldn't be gambling in front or even not in front of them when you want them to grow not as a gambler. But deep inside, you're actually a gambler and there's no way that you'll deny it to them if you want them to be honest with as well.

When it comes to conversations, there should be a structure of leadership we should only tell them what is appropriate and what they are qualified to know, and we shouldn't be reluctant to let them know about the challenges and hardships life could present. Children are priceless gifts from life, and we should cherish and care for them.

They are good listeners and from there as a parent, we must tell them the dangers of it so that they'll have an idea of why they must avoid gambling and why only adults can do that. As long as they're no longer curious, it means that you're doing a great job for explaining to them the importance first of listening to their parents, next the dangers of a gambler that doesn't have a source of income and then what could lead those problems into another problems if they're not going to follow what's being told to them.

I can actually prove this right because back when I was a child, I often went with my friends to their neighborhood and found their parents gambling along with others but I didn't pay attention to that rather we just got our toys and played like normal children do. fast forward to when we were teens, they were with their parents this time and it was the whole family putting their bet on the table today sadly my friend got himself into some serious trouble and is now in prison, that's just sad, because he deserved to be raised well.

That is a habit of children, they like to ask questions and it is good to ask and it your duty as a father to explain things to them and through there they would learn things. And that's the socialization part of the family. Learning always start from the family before school. But these days because parents want to be free at home, they send their children to school as early age 2 years to playing classes. But even though they asked you have to tell them the truth then also rebuke them on the bad site of the question.

And of course the fact that you no longer gamble is a big help because your child will think that his parents have never seen him gamble and that is a good example for our children.

They will eventually learn it though but at the right time. Maybe while they are still kids, just introduce board games.

The only reason why your kid can see you gamble is if you invite your friends under your basement and play poker down there. You can always just visit your friend's house instead. The friend who's single. There is always a single in our circle of friends. Or you can do it online, maybe on your phone. This is way better than going to traditional casinos just don't let your kid watch over your shoulder.

[bitterguy28]

Never that I will do such infront of my children, yeah I cannot take it from them as
gambling is a worldwide available and at any moment as they turns mature,
for sure Gambling will cross their way.
but I will make sure that they will never this or will never be influenced by my.
instead I will keep reminding them about the negative and positive effect of gambling in their life.
as can make myself as best example to it.
I am not against gambling but if given a chance to make my children stay away from it all their life?
then that would be my  best player come true.

Maybe we will not be allowed to make children stay away from gambling throughout their lives, especially with the ease of accessing the internet, they can get information about gambling. But at least we have provided knowledge and information about what they should do with gambling. They can take care of themselves and try not to get involved in gambling.

We as parents must always warn them about the bad effects a person can experience if he gambles, especially if we can show that someone might lose control of themselves in gambling. A person's emotions can go up and down when they gamble. That can make them play gambling longer and possibly become addicted to gambling.

With our supervision and information, they can stay away from gambling and don't need to gamble if they want to have fun.

their life their rules , and of course their decision.


we as parents are only here to help them reach their goal in life, we are here to support them ,to guide them and of course to help them understand life the easiest and the worthiest they can.

so telling them the ins and out of gambling will help them build the understanding and the knowledge to what they need to learn from it.
so maybe in time they will not allow themselves to  do what mistakes we did in the past.

Are you serious about not gambling anymore so that the kid wont find out what gambling is? What about the case, when you dont gamble, hide gambling from your kid, and on the very first day school or from the street, your kid find out about it? Dont you be disappointed for limiting yourself for nothing? Just accept the fact, that what you dont show or teach your kid, school or other will do. And pray that the way they teach your kid and the vision they give would be equal to yours.

I think that gambling with friends at home will certainly have a bad influence on your children, especially if your children are always with you at home, that's clearly not the right way to gamble, especially now in the age of advanced technology where cellphones can gamble online without having to play physically and offline at home with friends because it is very visible to children.

I think the effective way is to gamble in secret and don't let yourself gamble in front of them. As good as it is, a father should know how to keep it away from his children, for example gambling when they are fast asleep and make sure that when you are with your children you focus on playing with your children so that they don't. see the strange activities we play so that they don't really follow our bad behavior.

Hey piebeyb,

You have posted in this topic 6 or 7 times, you have said that you gamble at night, try to hide that you gamble from your kid, but you never gave any reasons why you do that. You have only mentioned that "it is very important for us as parents to explain the dangers of gambling". "Dangers of gambling" - that is very general. And that is only one side of gambling (what about positive?). Why do YOU gamble then, if it is dangerous?

From your posts it is clear that you simply hide the fact of gambling from your kid for no reason. Like just a habit or routine of action. In fact, no one in this topic gave a direct answer or proof addiction. Just exception from real life. No one gave any statistics, that, for example, every third kid that saw adults playing poker becomes addicted to poker and looses all the money. All I see a lot of "if", "maybe", "perhaps", "might but I am not sure". Or people dont gamble in front of kids - just because. Just because their parents or people they know did not gamble and now they just copy/paste.

[JahriMeayer]

You have valid point. but there is something i would like to share. Do you know any kid who don't like game? Nope. Games are the most favorite entertainment for kids. And as a parents, you do something in front of your kids, he/she will start practicing the same thing and so for games. Now come to the point. If you are playing normal game for fun then no problem. But if you are playing game like gambling with money, then you can't hand over to them if they wish. So it is better not play any game in front of them that you don't want them to play. Only show them those game, what are good and entertaining to them with no problem. It is really need to have a healthy environment while kids are growing up

so maybe in time they will not allow themselves to  do what mistakes we did in the past.

As much as possible it would really be just that wise that you should really be that avoiding them to see you gamble but if ever they do have that kind of encounter on other various sources or places then it is really that always better that you should really be that telling them about the cons of gambling or really that the risks behind it because if they would really be that too careless on their actions then addiction would comes next.
Specially that children arent really that something good when it comes to control then most likely they would really be messing up. Usually with this age on which it is really that hard to control due to lack of awareness
and emotion handling on which it would really be that just right that they do really need up that kind of guidance.

As much as possible then it would really be that right that you should not really be playing gambling in front of your kids because on whatever things that you do in front of them then they would
really be believing that it is really just that the right thing to do since you've been doing it as their parent then most likely they would really be following those actions if ever
they do have the chance. Everything would really be starting from home and it is really just that right that you would really be having that kind of discipline.

There is something that you say is very key in children, one is curiosity and the other is innocence, currently children have access to a lot of information, in fact now things can change for the better because basically when things are Treated like how to do well in front of our children, because there is no manual on this, but if we had good training with our parents, grandparents, uncles, then we can say that they can be more successful in regards to what has a lot to do with manners. It shows certain situations, games and relevant things that have to do with money to children, for example a book is good to give if it is by Kiyosakli's Rich Dad, Poor Dad , it Would be a very Valuable Treasure, in fact it could even be explained that when A child sees us play in a casino, it's not like we tell him that he has to put a blindfold on his eyes, because it doesn't work that way, you have to talk to them, and you have to tell them a lot about money , a child The more you know About money , Business and Everything that has to do with Accounting, the Better.

Our education is quite different from what it is now, most of us learned a type of economy that cannot be maintained today, people no longer want to be employees of companies because they have realized that the profits will never be for them. them, not even in an Acceptable percentage, and that is a bad thing, now things are more independent and it can be based on the fact that everything related to casinos and games of chance should be talked about only as a parent and not that they learn it from friends and the internet , because we are the only ones who will teach them what Type of financial Education they will learn , and that is the difference, of course, we must speak to them as honestly as possible because they are not Stupid, they know that if they read or learn on their own, Well, they will have a way to refute what we tell them , but when we speak Supported by books , that is important.

It's pretty amazing. Children have this amazing capacity for information absorption, don't they? You're absolutely correct; we need to speak with them about money, business, and accounting. How important, how fundamental, is all of this?

Now, it's not about hiding it when it comes to gambling, casinos, and all that stuff. It's important to explain and to do it in a way that helps them understand the dangers, the tactics, and the behaviours involved. It's about responsible gaming, comprehending the odds, knowing when to quit, and identifying the warning signs of compulsive gambling. And books, like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Kiyosaki, are wonderful teaching tools for kids to learn about money, financial independence, and making wise, wise decisions

Education has evolved and is different today, and we must adapt and change with the times. Being an employee is no longer relevant; instead, being a leader or an entrepreneur is. We must instill in our children the values of leadership and entrepreneurship

The fact that our children have unlimited access to Information, well , many things can happen, first they will know everything through the web, without any type of censorship, then you as a parent because as I said, You have to do like the horses, to Bite ahead so that they don't go to sirotrsonina, on the other hand, if you as a parent speak to them as if with the truth, but first tell them or talk to them about money, value, whatever should be done. to win it, they will understand better that the casino is a game for adults, where if they lose money they have the ability to get it back through their work or win it, recover it, I think those things are what one as a parent can and should tell them, my brother-in-law, she is a woman who has a Girl under the age of 15 , and her Sister-in-law told me that 'his daughter was playing free fire, and she followed a guy who threatened to kill her , She had to Leave that Country so they wouldn't do anything to her, because I think the person who threatened her was from a mafia, but why did this happen? Why weren't the parents there ? What was it that Went Wrong? Well , because there was not the Presence that was due.

So this same thing happens with casinos , with children when they Enter a casino, and well the dangers are that they can launder the balance of the parents or those who have cash there in the casino, for that reason things can happen differently. That way, we have to talk to them, we don't have to be afraid, it is preferable that they know these things through us and not through others, because it is more dangerous, that's what happened to the brother-in-law, That is something strong, it is something that cannot be given nor should be allowed to be done, because when we are in agreement to do great things, we cannot go against what we have , that is why our children must be Valued , Cared for and we must not let them. let them leave for a bad truck.

Limiting the information your kids can access to is no longer possible thanks to the internet, and even if you could set filters on your computers and smartphones there is no guarantee the computers of other kids will have the same filters.

So while we must not encourage kids to gamble, it is also important to not close our eyes, as we need to talk to them about gambling and the negative effects it could have in their lives if they begin to engage on this activity at such an early age.

Yes you are right that there is no child who doesn't like games and all children from all walks of life are definitely very happy with game especially new game that they have never tried.
But that not the concept because this is gambling game and it is not recommended to tell or show gambling games to children.

Indeed if it is just game for fun it can be considered normal but in gambling I think we also aim to have fun so don't think that showing games to children even if it is just game for fun can be treated freely.
Moreover child has an attitude that tends to be curious about all kinds of new things especially games and when a child starts playing whether it just game on cellphone it will give them a habitual effect so that they might potentially look for new games next time.

Rather than showing game it is better to provide education and also teach real game that can hone a child skills and brain performance.

In fact, you have a point in what you said: if there is no internet, there is no reason for children to be curious about online gambling, even if they only get a glimpse of it. It's just that in this day and age, it seems that the child is used to watching YouTube; maybe don't show the child if you are playing gambling online.

And if we think that it is possible for children to understand at least a little bit, let them understand at least what gambling causes when they do or try it, and forbid children from gambling.
