Never gamble in front of your kids.

[Fredomago]

...

Gambling before your children is very similar To stealing or having sex before them because they will learn more than you And will like To try it with their peer groups in School especially in the Hostels.

this analogy might be too much, because i also grew up in an environment where people gambled every day, but i didn't grow up being a gambling addict. because it still comes back to the individual, because many gambling addicts are born from good families. so even though it is not recommended to gamble in front of children, even if we gamble in front of them there is no certainty that they will gamble more than we do.

Also true, it's on the person itself whether to take part in gambling or change his way but the influence it can bring can't be deny which if the kids see things as normal usually they will follow that track, thinking that its' just normal since they are seeing adult people that surrounds them are just doing it without any conviction.

This how important your cares about your kids or on the young minds that still in your vicinities, they can be influence if you are not careful with how you treat your gambling.

Adults will usually be used as an example by young children in any case whether it is from speech, treatment, and something done by adults, a child will not know something that is done by adults is basically forbidden, and this is why the job of parents is to teach and direct them to good and right things and keep them away from something bad of any kind. This means that I don't think it depends on whether the child wants to follow something that is done by adults or not, because the main point is that when they see that adults are doing it openly then they will most likely think that it is something that is allowed to do, and this is why we as adults are advised to hide gambling activities, none other than because after all prevention is always better than cure.

On the other hand, children usually have a high level of curiosity about anything they see, especially those that make them curious and interested and it is possible that the excitement reaction that you experience when gambling, especially when you win, can make them interested and curious, and of course as you said that we must prioritize care, this concerns the safety of the personality of a child who still has a long future.

We should really be that aware that kids are really that ones who are really that fastly be able to mimic out on whatever they've seen around and since they've been seeing their parents doing something then everything that they would really be able to glimpse out is something would be considered to be right into their eyes on which means that if ever they would really be that seeing that you are gambling in front of them then expect that they will really be most likely be ended up on being a gambler once they would grow old. Although it wont really be that something to be assured because each one of us would really be that grown into maturity
on which it could be causing up those kind of self realizations.

As a parent then we are really that doing everything for our kids on which it would really be just that normal that we would really be that giving the best things for them.
We do know on what gambling could give out so it would really be common sense that we should really be taking them away as much as possible.

[TopTort777]

Just to break the logic "seeing adults gambling = getting addicted" among kids. Why do you think that a kid, after seeing his parents gambling, will carry interest to gambling through his childhood and his interests wont change when he grows up or becomes adult? That seems to be a strange logic if you think that kids remember all that they saw during childhood. If you do it regularly, you live in a casino and push on teaching gambling, then yes, the kid will carry interest to gambling to his adulthood.

Funny how we didn't grow up seeing adults having sex openly, but there has been a high rate of sexual activities recently. The web introduces all forms of content that could arouse a person's interest to try out something. There exists lots of expensively made attractive ads online, to attract the interest of young people. Same way sexual contents are made available to increase young people's interest in sex. Which increased the high rate of sexual activities. With the high increase of gambling-related content online; streamers making up some crazy dramatic results. Young or growing people will develop a strong interest in gambling.

Gambling sounds like a decent means of money-making for most naive young people. Their interest in gadgets like gaming consoles for instance will make a youth, go through all choices to achieve the jackpot in gambling. They imagine those fantasies, living their best life, which drives them to make mistakes. Those are factors that deceives some age groups, in the human race. Recently young people engaged more in gambling compared to the aged people. Due to the massive adoption of the online gambling niche. It solved lots of trouble for young people, they can easily gamble privately. With no other body being aware of the habit. Compared to the days of offline gambling, where everyone around the vicinity will know a specific person as a gambler.

Online gambling created privacy, that's great. But opened a big loophole on the entire age regulatory mandate to watch over young people who could be participating in the game. The age restriction is for their good. But they don't care provided money can be made out of the activity. So, gambling revolves around young people, whether we gamble facially or hiddenly in their presence. It's respect, and I commend it, our kids also deserve some respect. There should be some activities which we wouldn't do in their presence. This will help make an easy validation process in the child's brain concerning his gambling decision. He could decide to gamble or not, but seeing his dad will tick his 'I will do it' gambling decisions. In all, against all odds, the child's decision matters.

I don't see gambling in front of children as bad as you have described it here. Stealing is too harsh to compare to gambling; stealing is forcefully taking what belongs to others; gambling is not that way.
 
I know it's not that healthy to gamble in front of your children, as it could have some negative impact on them, but you can still control that and put them in the right place. But when it comes to stealing or the adult thing you mentioned, it shouldn't be compared at all.
 
One thing about parenting is teaching your children the right way to go and for them to have basis knowledge about things you think are very necessary, and it's left for them to decide which step to take from there.

This does not rule out the possibility that this scenario can also occur in gambling, or the point is that a child can participate in gambling activities carried out by adults without the knowledge of these adults.

On the other hand, I understand that this does not always happen or mean that it cannot be confirmed, but what we must pay attention to here is that isn't prevention always better than cure? of course, therefore this is the importance of considering and paying attention to whatever is around us before we finally make a decision, and someone who is still underage is an age where the child is in the learning phase or meaning that they are like a sponge, always able to absorb whatever they see and hear, this is why parents are always required to direct a child.

Some people think or have a way of seeing things differently from Others and that is something that is respected, personally when doing any type of Action in a casino, it is not good for the kids to be there because they usually repeat or try to imitate role models, and we are role models with children, they always want to do the same thing that we do, that is something that cannot be avoided, what I think about this type of thing is that when we are Looking for the best for them, is that their childhood should not be interrupted with this type of things, unless it is explained to hem and they are made to see clearly that this type of games is for when they are adults, if so and they manage to tempt Well it will be better.

I think I have found about sex when I was in kindergarten. I did not know all the details and nuances, but knew some bad words and that man and woman must do something together. Kids told me that. They found about that from elder friends, brothers and sisters. I did not show off that knowledge, not in front of parents. But when older kids talk, I knew what they were talking about.

The same will be with gambling. Adults hide it from kids, but kids turns to be knowing what it is already from other kids. Believe me. And social media will only fasten time when they get familiar with gambling. I think there is no solution to that. You cant ban all the internet content and not let your kid be friend with other kids. Do what you want, but the information will leak anyway.

[Rabbitqt]

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.

If you have reservations about gambling, why engage in it at all?

My father taught me how to play Poker and Blackjack when I was 10 years old. He wasn't a gambler himself, but he enjoyed the games, especially poker. I've never had issues with gambling. He warned me about the dangers of gambling because his parents were addicts, which is why he avoids gambling. With the right boundaries in place, your child won't become a problem gambler.

[Fredomago]

Of course, and sometimes we don't realize that it turns out that the child can already do something that we never expected before or for example in terms of speech, sometimes we don't know about when they learned it and how they learned it and all of that they did on their own without our knowledge or especially the parents and I also saw this scenario where my brother was surprised when he saw his son apparently saying harsh language that should be avoided. This does not rule out the possibility that this scenario can also occur in gambling, or the point is that a child can participate in gambling activities carried out by adults without the knowledge of these adults.

True, we never know or we can't really tell if how those young kids going to adopt whatever they are seeing or hearing from us, most of the times we are just being surprise that they already saying it or doing it, we will just notice that when we already witnessing it with our own eyes, so we need to be more careful if we don't want to expereinced things like that.

On the other hand, I understand that this does not always happen or mean that it cannot be confirmed, but what we must pay attention to here is that isn't prevention always better than cure? of course, therefore this is the importance of considering and paying attention to whatever is around us before we finally make a decision, and someone who is still underage is an age where the child is in the learning phase or meaning that they are like a sponge, always able to absorb whatever they see and hear, this is why parents are always required to direct a child.

Prevention also for me is the best way, treating things with a careful actions will prevent our young love ones to adopt whatever gambling that we are involve, if we are not willing to see them engaging with that same situation like us, we should always be aware on how or what things that we will show them and what are those that we should not.

I do say that being a responsible gambler doesn't change anything when it comes to little ones, one has to be extremely careful. Come to think of it, if the little children started gambling just because their parents are gambling, but couldn't control themselves and be responsible in doing it the way their parents are. That will be so disastrous. Adult things are adult things, exposing children to such is a violation and an abuse, and illegal by law, which is punishable under many counts. So, no matter how we believe we are in gambling, we should know that it is an adult activity, and for this, it is better we entirely take it out of our children's reach.

If our children are such that are opportune to use our gadgets, it is better that we lock some applications to avoid them seeing the adult contents and activities. This is no matter how we trust our children as all these adult things are so physiological and we might not know when it would infest them. Lastly, if we would want to gamble, there are many places we can do it when we are 100% sure they are not around. I am sure you are doing both yourself and your children a whole lot of good by doing that.

We should really be that aware that kids are really that ones who are really that fastly be able to mimic out on whatever they've seen around and since they've been seeing their parents doing something then everything that they would really be able to glimpse out is something would be considered to be right into their eyes on which means that if ever they would really be that seeing that you are gambling in front of them then expect that they will really be most likely be ended up on being a gambler once they would grow old.

We do know on what gambling could give out so it would really be common sense that we should really be taking them away as much as possible.

that is a true fact, because it is clear that children tend to have an alert attitude and quickly grasp what they see, especially since what they see is something that is interesting to them, with gambling which is a game, it is clear that children can have desires to play it after they see it, but they won't understand that gambling is something that involves money because I think they are only interested in the flow of gambling which is an interesting game. However, if they have been familiar with gambling since childhood then it is likely that when they grow up they will no longer feel strange about gambling and perhaps they will even fully understand gambling.

Also, in my opinion, it's not a good idea to gamble in front of children or small children, because that could make them interested in playing. Also I don't think there are parents who teach or introduce their children to gambling, I think that is a wrong way to educate children. because they shouldn't be familiar with gambling, as time goes by they will become familiar with gambling themselves because they can't be far from cellphones and the internet, which allows them to become familiar with gambling. and maybe in the future they could become addicted to gambling, but in my opinion that is a terrible thing.

Preventing is always better than curing. We must continue to protect children from getting involved in gambling. The way we can do this is by not showing our gambling activities in front of children. They will find a way to gamble on their own, especially now that they can find it via the internet via their devices. If we as parents cannot educate them well, it is only a matter of time before they will get involved with gambling.

If they are already familiar with gambling, it will be difficult for us to control it. This is especially true if they are not yet stable in controlling themselves because, at their age, their emotions still cannot be controlled. We must always take precautions for the good of our children, so we must continue to make efforts to supervise them well.

Prevention is highly recommended so that your child is not involved in gambling. However, digitalization has now penetrated the world of gambling.

Covering up the world of gambling also won't have a big impact, because out there children can get information about online gambling from their peers. If that's the case, giving advice and more on providing an understanding of how the world of gambling is, both the immediate benefits and the bad impacts of gambling is more necessary than just preventing gambling.

[noormcs5]

It is we adults that we know that we are gambling with caution and we know the pros and cons of the gambling. The kids and children who see their parents gambling, won't know any other thing but just to gamble. So they only want to copy the things that they see physically and what is running in their parents' minds, while gambling, they are unable to know about this. So that is why the kids think that since their parents always gamble, they should do the same.

This how important your cares about your kids or on the young minds that still in your vicinities, they can be influence if you are not careful with how you treat your gambling.

Unless you tell the kids that you are gambling with all the good and bad things, it is more dangerous for the kids to get influenced to gamble just by watching the adults doing so. So in my point of view, either stop gambling in front of kids and if you can't, then at least take your kids in confidence and tell them what is gambling with all its drawbacks in particulars.

[nara1892]

Of course, and sometimes we don't realize that it turns out that the child can already do something that we never expected before or for example in terms of speech, sometimes we don't know about when they learned it and how they learned it and all of that they did on their own without our knowledge or especially the parents and I also saw this scenario where my brother was surprised when he saw his son apparently saying harsh language that should be avoided.

Yes because sometimes a child does it on their own without our knowledge or their parents, they are easy to hear, see and learn something very quickly which makes their parents sometimes unaware which in the end is surprised when they see or hear that their child can do something they never expected before, a child is easy to adapt to everything especially for something that makes them feel very curious. Therefore, this is why we as parents must really take care of their relationships and direct them to good things as well as avoiding bad things.

On the other hand, I understand that this does not always happen or mean that it cannot be confirmed, but what we must pay attention to here is that isn't prevention always better than cure? of course, therefore this is the importance of considering and paying attention to whatever is around us before we finally make a decision, and someone who is still underage is an age where the child is in the learning phase or meaning that they are like a sponge, always able to absorb whatever they see and hear, this is why parents are always required to direct a child.

Seeing, realizing and identifying a potential is the initial stage in terms of prioritizing preventive measures, and simply put, we as parents must really be able to protect and direct a child to good things and also avoid bad possibilities, and also besides that if for example we are a gambler then it is clearly better to hide our gambling habits, after all there are still quite a lot of times that we can use to gamble such as when a child is at school or when they are asleep.

One of the things that can most neutralize the idea that children do not watch games of chance and that the digitalization of life does not affect them is to Involve them in some sport. For example, my 8-year-old son plays soccer 3 days a week and that is enough for him to go out to play and enjoy his favorite sport. When he arrives he is sometimes very tired and the only thing he has to do is sleep to recover , because he is doing Something that is ideal for his age, a Sport is always good, because it entertains you, you make friends, that is something that should be taken advantage of, so children must be kept busy, play sports, get them into music, because it is very important for their growth so they do not have time to review things that they should not and they are given a better Quality of life.

[Doan9269]

Gambling in front of the kids is not a good idea, i wont advise for such, if you're going to gamble, then know it that it will be your own decision alone and influencing the children about it will make no any sense at all, moreover, children are not to start gambling at their tender age except they have been independent and no more called children, some of the things we do, they see, and instead of us to set a model for them to follow, they may only see the other asper in us which is a wring impression.

We have to be careful in preventing this because today's children don't like being forced to obey their parents' wishes. Let them understand what their parents want so that they can understand that their parents are trying to educate them well and so they can be better prepared for circumstances that have really changed.

However, we must try to instill awareness in our children not to get involved in gambling because some dangers can result in their lives being ruined. They can indeed get information about gambling from their friends, but most of them will only invite our children to gamble directly. If not accompanied by the correct information, they can get involved further in gambling without being able to quit gambling easily.
