Never gamble in front of your kids.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Children always record things on their mind. They just want to do what they have seen what their mommy and daddy is doing. In fact, children don’t usually do things on their own. They repeat what their parents has done. That is how they grow if you are gambling in front of your kids, definitely one day, they will try to be like you and go into gambling and one thing about children, They will definitely hide it from you. You will never know about it and it will attract stealing because they will keep on taking money from you and lie to you also stealing your money just to gamble, so no one should ever make this mistake of doing things in front of children. They are very terrible..

Life is full of risk anyways as much as gambling. In short, gambling could introduced kids to perspective that one must be risking something to be rewarded. It could be an effort, money, freedom. It is positive from its nature. However, unhealthy gambling presented to children is not right. The how parents react from impulses of gambling, the addiction from it, the managing of stress, or even not having a life. Children  may even normalize in their minds that getting rich quick and no hardwork is good. That's what gambling is right? It is the bad practice of gambling being portrayed to the child that is negative.

Gambling is not for children. It has a lot of mental pressure. And a gambler must have self-control. Otherwise you will lose all your money. No gambling for children or minors. They cannot control themselves and they cannot take extra mental pressure.

Also gambling addiction is very risky. Without self-control, the chances of becoming addicted to gambling will increase. For these reasons we should not gamble in front of children and tell them about it. It is very risky if children are interested in gambling. Not only children, I would say we shouldn't gamble in front of minors either. It's an adult game and I think it's impossible to be a gambler if you don't have strong nerves.

Children can't really handle stress and children have low tolerance for stress so things should not be done in front of children where they are exposed to stressful situations.
Gambling can actually have a negative effect on children, especially if they are attracted to gambling, they will spend time gambling, thereby preventing them from pursuing formal education, and ultimately, children will not be able to develop a proper career in terms of career.
Therefore, gambling should be kept away from those who are below 18 years of age and should never participate in gambling as a guardian in front of family children. In this case, they see these habits of parents and children also start practicing these habits among themselves.

That's true, they really can't handle stress and they shouldn't know how to do gambling at their young age because it may affect their mental health once they experience any pressure because of losing in playing it. That's why gambling is prohibited to do in front of younger kids especially nowadays that most young generation is very fast learner and they easily adapt what's happening in their environment, so in order for them not to engage in this kind of activity is to avoid or to lessen the exposure of it in front of them and by educating them what's the cause and effect of doing it.

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 think I've read it somewhere that doing this to your children is not going to have a good effect on them, you could look it up on google but exposing your children on gambling at an early age could have bad effects on them, increasing the chance for them to develop some kind of disorder when they grow up, I mean I completely agree with it, kids should not be exposed to gambling at all that is why in a lot of platforms, kids are not allowed to play at all, even on youtube videos that are related to gambling are restricted to be played on kids.

At an early age, there are a lot of useful channel on youtube that you could let them watch instead of allowing them to watch whatever they wanted to, because on youtube they could pretty much everything on it, so its better to restrict them early, I mean if English is not your native language there are channels that could help them with it, I found a channel as well that teaches some kind of coding as well for kids, I mean for sure it wasn't going to be enough to do actual coding but it is still logic, developing the mind of kids is always going to be great thing for there growth.

I personally think that gambling should be completely banned for young people, or those who are not yet adults. At the same time we should never gamble in front of children or inform children about gambling.

There are several reasons why I am calling for a ban on gambling for young people. First of all young people cannot take decisions properly. They often give more importance to emotions. Do not be emotional while gambling. Young people get emotional easily and cannot make proper decisions. So they lose a lot of money. Even these young people do not earn their own income. They often gamble from their parents' savings. This results in family conflict. So gambling should be banned even for young people. And we should not gamble in front of children.

It seems that there will be no stressful situations that occur with children when parents clearly show the gambling activities they do, I don't think children will easily experience stress related conditions because what is on their minds is having fun and doing whatever they want.
Only problem will be related to child growth and development and those who are familiar with gambling can definitely have attitudes and characters that are very different from normal children in general.
There will be conditions where cannot escape from gambling and this occurs even more often than in adults who are addicted to gambling, the impact can also be much more significant because they have long time to live but have to suffer because of gambling.
Actually anyone can gamble because it is choice but this is not for children because basically gambling is an activity that is really only aimed at adults, we have to get used to preventing children from seeing or getting to know gambling.

There is lot of learning that actually still needs to be introduced and developed to children and if they are already familiar with or even addicted to gambling then obviously all of this will be further hampered and of course this is very unfortunate thing.

[OceanBit]

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.

Indeed, many people who are addicted to gambling are still young. especially for those who cannot think completely clearly, many of them are lulled into gambling because of wins that are said to be easy to get, but unfortunately this actually traps them in a detrimental addiction. It's not good to gamble in front of children, let alone tell them about gambling, because I think those who are addicted to gambling are those who cannot control themselves from the gambling they do.

I agree with you, young people are not able to make good decisions, sometimes they are easily influenced because their thinking is still unstable so they are easily carried away. especially with things that really attract their attention, including gambling, because gambling is said to be able to win (money) who is not interested in this. Everyone is definitely interested in this, especially young people who are definitely thinking about their lifestyle and want to be completely luxurious. it's terrible if they like to gamble but they don't have the income you said, then they will make things difficult for their own parents. and this is a very difficult problem to fix.

You've got a point there, Children are very vulnerable and can be easily influenced by their environment or the behaviour of the people around them. Due to Children's inexperience, gambling can be particularly harmful to them as it can influence them negatively in so many ways.
One negative effect could be that it can serve as a form of distribution from education as well as other important activities. We all know that gambling can really be addictive and a very good form of distraction. 
It takes a great deal self-control to be able to understand and control and mange the stress associated with gambling,  and we know that it'll be impossible for kids to possess this level of self control so gambling would  be exposing them to unnecessary stress and anxiety.

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.

Instead of being afraid of children becoming a gambler in the future as well as being affected mentally, I'm more worried about domestic violence that will happen when children are very carefree and just want their parents' attention, and to get that attention, ongoing gambling matches can be interrupted and indirectly lost, the most annoying thing is that parents will get angry and have unnecessary physical impacts. Actually, avoiding gambling in front of children will minimize the effects and have peace while playing.

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.

I will open a huge secret for your right now - kids can gamble without money. They use other valuable things as a bet. They gamble like "who gets first to that tree takes a candy" or "if you beat me in super mario kart, I will let you take my comic books".

Why do you think that kids dont take decisions properly? How come then they manage to save lunch money for a new toy, if you say that they are so reckless about money? And you sure they dont "earn their own income"? What about money they get for Xmas or as a BDay present? Why do you think you are to decide how they should spend their money?

What emotion they get during gambling, that will trigger them to take wrong decision? Greed? Passion to play? Adults do same mistakes. Should gambling be banned for adults only? You say that "They often give more importance to emotions", then how can you explain that adults are the ones who fail with emotions and commit suicides after loosing money in gambling? Based on your post its kids who are bad at evaluating situation, loosing money, taking wrong decisions and being emotionally unstable.

Agree to that, influence from the environment is what factor the most in terms of developing young minds, when they see people sorrund enjoying this type of activities chances that their curiosity will be high which will trigger their interest, just like what you mentioned in that same sentiment if you compare things in education,  when they see someone who gamble keeps on doing it in front of them they will have that lust to try things as well.

Let them enjoy things that supposedly belongs to them and keep them far from things like this, gambling is a high risk activities and if young minds exposed the chance of getting addicted and create more problem is possible to take place.

You may have participated in gambling while locked in the room or locked in the room and you thought that the children were not following you and you had the wrong idea. Since you are participating in gambling out of sight of the children in the room it is fine but the matter will be diverted by the children and if you are participating in the gambling while locked inside the room it will surely create curiosity in the children andThey will want to know what you are doing inside the locked room. This curiosity can lead to a serious addiction to gambling and you as the guardian can never tell your child openly about it. So you should never participate in gambling at home, if you have an institutional gambling/casino you can participate there.In this case children will never follow you.

[Aniel Jay]

Absolutely, gambling in front of children can normalize risky behaviour and potentially contribute to unhealthy attitudes towards gambling later in life.

When it comes to to those young people or not really that matured enough then they do really get easily be influenced by those people who are around them specially if its their older brother or parents who had been engaging into something on which we know that it would really be something that could be also be doing that later on because they would really be having those thoughts that you are doing the right thing. This is why its not really that recommended that you would really be making yourself that be too exposed when it comes to this manner. It would be better that you should really be that
playing gambling into silent and not really that been able to see by someone inside the family specially into your kids on which we know that everything that you would do would really be always
that right or good and we parents doesnt really like for our kids to be gamblers since we've been aware on the risks involved.

Whatever way we can, we don't let our children know about the gambling activities we do, we can't play in front of them because they might ask what we are doing, and usually children want to do the same thing as we do. For example, in games when I play in front of them, they will snatch my cellphone and if it is not given to them they will cry, and I think it will also be the same when we gamble, they will force us to give them our cellphone.
If you can't play outside the house, one way is to play when they are not there, such as going to play outside the house, or when they are sleeping and resting. It is feared that when they see what we are doing they will start to get interested and for children it will be difficult to stop and if they don't get what they want. As adults, we have to think about such small things because it can ruin their future.

[noormcs5]

Gambling is not for children. It has a lot of mental pressure. And a gambler must have self-control. Otherwise you will lose all your money. No gambling for children or minors. They cannot control themselves and they cannot take extra mental pressure.

I think that children will take no pressure if they gamble because they would be using their parent's money and in case of loss, they won't lose anything because they never earned that money. Also, children do not know the true value of money and they are the ones who will concentrate only on getting the profits.

Also gambling addiction is very risky. Without self-control, the chances of becoming addicted to gambling will increase. For these reasons we should not gamble in front of children and tell them about it. It is very risky if children are interested in gambling. Not only children, I would say we shouldn't gamble in front of minors either. It's an adult game and I think it's impossible to be a gambler if you don't have strong nerves.

With children, the addiction will cause them to get away from their studies and goal to become successful in their exams and career in future. If they happen to get some easy wins from gambling, they will become lazy and will think that they can only gamble in life and avoid doing all that hard work in order to bring themselves up in life. I think the kids will have far-lasting bad effects from gambling if they start 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.
