Never gamble in front of your kids.

[Jody.Drummer]

It is not surprising that children often imitate the activities or habits of their father or mother, because children under 10 years of age will follow the movements or games played by their father, so parents are obliged to have a special work space and forbid children to  children enter the room, so that what we do in that room we can do anything without the children knowing, if we have a special room for doing things like playing online gambling then it will be much more free for us to gamble in that room without having to be disturbed by  our children.

If you don't want to explain more deepre about whatever you do with your devices then better to have that place inside your house that will not allow them to see you, it's true that they can easily imitate you by just watching you with what you are doing, especially now that the technology is really helping them to reach whatever they needed to learn.

At that young age they can search online especially if you allow them without any restrictions,.

True, you can provide a secret place to gamble like you said or other things that I think can also be used as an alternative, and I don't think it's too complicated to hide your gambling habits from the eyes of the children in your house, you can gamble when they are doing other activities, because in general, usually a child also has his personal activities such as studying at school or napping, and you can take advantage of the situation for you to gamble at home with your smart phone.

This means that in my opinion it is not too difficult to do your gambling habit if you can position yourself and divide your time for the various activities you want to do, and when it comes to gambling then obviously we keep it a secret from a child, or gamble when you are away from the sight of a child, and I'm sure all parents must know the busy hours of a child, or know when your child is doing his habitual activities so that you can gamble when they are not around you.

I'm sure that even though parents hide the activities they do so that they don't see them, current social interactions can also make them aware of these activities, so when this happens they will hide from each other the activities they do. maybe we should open a conversation to advise them not to fall into the wrong thing even if we do it, by telling them maybe it could make them not do it even though outside interactions could make them do it but with the direction that has been given it could be a consideration for them not to do things that are wrong or harmful to themselves. because when they know and do it, they will definitely hide it, it is impossible for them to tell openly about what they did, even if they managed to get a win that could make them have a certain amount of money. because gambling is certainly an activity that is quite hostile among society.

as you said, they can search for it online without our knowledge or with us allowing it without any restrictions, of course that allows them to get to know and do it, so I think it's better to tell them first when they already have outside relationships.

Parents must guided their children more but don't make a strict rules for them because they will not accept it and can becomes rebel to their parents. I already see many children not obey their parents and choose to be close to their friends which can gives a bad effect to them.

Yeah, that is a rather modern problem between children and parents. I have written before, that there must be sort of a respect between children and parents. Otherwise the kid win trust and listen what he was said. That is also why hiding gambling activity wont work. Because kid notice parents gamble, he wont understand why they can, but he cant do it. I can not stop repeating, that talking and explaining are the keys of parenting.

Parents can teach how their children respest to their parents so their children will not against their parents in anything. Respects to their parents is not like afraid doing something but it is like how they can close with their parents so parents and children can trust and listen each other so they can have better relationships.

It needs very long discussion to talks about parenting more details and that needs awareness from parents that they have children that can doing what their parents do. Parents can keep playing gambling but not with their children arounds them so their children will not do the same things as their parents.

An opportunity with children must be respected. Soon they'll grow to exhibit whatever they've learnt in the society surrounding them. However, have thought about means of handling kids and their numerous daily developed dramatic trouble which is definitely a big deal for adults to handle. Gambling in children's absence is quite reasonable to do, but not all the times would kids stay away from their parents, especially for a long time. Many children in the society learn not only from their parents.

They go about with multiple kids teaching each other new things happening around them especially through their parents. Hence, parents must do their part by staying actively vigilant on the characters their children exhibit. This will then help the parent to guide the children not to always bump him whenever he's busy with the computer. Probably, he could be gambling or doing something else. A straight instruction should be directed to the kids to focus on their assignments and let the dad or mom focus when busy on the laptop. Time for leisure should also be made out, because it's what interest the young ones.

[MainIbem]

A father's interaction with his child is necessary and must be done from an early age because closeness with a child will emerge more easily if a father has more time to play with his own child. So what you say is also true that a father or mother should not show things that are not yet the time for a child who is not yet an adult to know or see. And one of the things that a child should not know about is gambling, although there are also several other things, but one of the things that is quite sacred is gambling.

Not every child could relate, especially those with a single parent, most times children are left alone at home and could learn unnecessary things from their society cause their parents are not able to communicate or even give them attention all in the name of busy work schedule, even though your work schedule is tight atleast parents should find quality time to build cordial relationship with their kids so as to know their day to day activities when they're not at home, the kind of friends they keep and if they're going astray and it would help them on the kind of advice to give to them, thereby educating them on things that would help them grow with good morals. I totally agree with you and I think that it's the duty of parents to guide their children against certain things and yes gambling is one of them, therefore I don’t think it's right for any parents to gamble in the presence of their kids, there are consequences that comes with that and could ruin their future.

therefore I don’t think it's right for any parents to gamble in the presence of their kids, there are consequences that comes with that and could ruin their future.

I am not rooting for sitting in front of kids and gambling on purpose, or sit them nearby while you gamble. But what bad can happen if they see you gambling? Seriously? Usually I see kids are busy doing their own stuff, adults do their own. I kid wont even give a huge notice if you gamble casually.

I would also like to stress on that "there are consequences that comes with that and could ruin their future". Are you talking about addiction? Look, gambling section on the forum is one of the most popular, with thousands and thousands of posts and topics. It is visited by numerous users. Think we have many addicted gamblers here? Think among addicted to gambling users, many have children? And you think many of them are addicted? Imo the more we talk about addiction, the more that problem is pumped. IRL there are probably like 100 kids out of million, that are addicted.

I find it funny to be so serious about consequences and addiction among , when real amount of addicted gamblers isnt that much (people often confuse addiction with hobby). A kid has so many years in front to find new, experience new, that focusing only on gambling addiction is a joke. Better find an activity that kid will be really interested in, support his passion to it, and he wont notice bad around (not claiming that gambling is bad).

Yesterday I read an article about a gambler who confessed that he started gambling because as a child his father took him to the races, where this father bets on horses. After watching the excitement and periodic luck of his father, this guy remembered that horse racing is a fun event where there were a lot of emotions. Also, when the father won, he bought this guy goodies. In general, he remembered this type of gambling as something good and positive.
And of course, in the end, this guy grew up with a love of gambling. He didn't see anything wrong with playing casino games on weekends. And he was lucky! It was said in the interview that he was multiplying his salary. And it lasted for months. But then the luck ran out. And as you can guess, he got into debt. This is the natural ending of any uncontrolled gambling craze.

[knowngunman]

as you said, they can search for it online without our knowledge or with us allowing it without any restrictions, of course that allows them to get to know and do it, so I think it's better to tell them first when they already have outside relationships.

I second this idea as well. Children of nowadays are very curious and can easily learn things even on their own. This gambling of a thing is not as bad as people are meant to believe in our society, it's our approach to it that makes it look bad. Children are supposed to be taught about it when they are at right stage to know than we allow them to find out themselves. In one way or another, they might find out about it no matter how keep it secret from them. It would be a disaster if they find out about it outside because they won't know it's consequences. As a parent, there is nothing wrong in educating your children on gambling and it's consequences when you do it too much with reference to how it has destroyed some people's life who did not control themselves while gambling. Some children are very stubborn and might want to try it out even if you paint it black, it's better to tell them the reality about gambling and how responsible gambling can be practiced.

Most often, they become gamblers because there was another successful gambler nearby who showed how well he earns on gambling. Usually, at the same time, he also says that permanent work is bad, because you can only earn stress there, but gambling is a great activity where you can do almost nothing and get rich. But free cheese is only in a mousetrap, and there are no easy ways to get rich unless you have a great insider friend. Or a rich father. By the way, the father from this article that you described is not very smart, since he took his son to the races.

I hope people wont judge whole industry and all kids/parents relationships only by this one article and one situation.

What I find strange, that whole "adult gambling career" lasted only for months, until he got into troubles. That is not an addiction that you carry out from childhood. If it was an addiction, then he must have been gambling all the time, not those "months". For me this looks like a guy had good and bad moments in gambling, but as usually, he ended with finding a person to blame for his unluck and debt. And it was father who took him to horse races.

However, we dont know much about his father. It is easy to discuss it now, when everything is done, but we dont know if father explained him consequences of gambling, or only stimulated interest to it by buying goodies?

The successful gaming experience that children and adolescents observe from the outside is a driving force for their future. This is what will make them play, I'm sure of it. For example, if the older brother, who grows up with the younger one, shows him how to play gambling, then he will definitely start playing it. Parents very often do not have time to care for their children because they are busy at work to feed their family. Therefore, not only parents can set a bad example by playing gambling games, but also other close relatives.

After this, I want to say that if in life you see children watching an advertisement or a neighbor guy showing them how to play this, you need to stop it immediately so that it does not have an impact on their consciousness in the future.

Of course, gambling establishments never care about the fact that children are protected from this, they just state everywhere that you cannot play under 18 years of age and that’s all.

Agree with you, anyway one day it will definitely be revealed by itself whether it is intentional or unintentional and as a parent if giving good advice or guidance is an obligation so that their children do not fall into the wrong path.
Indeed, now there are many children who are good at seeking knowledge themselves through social networks without the knowledge of their parents can freely access and even hide these activities.
Moreover, if the child hears or sees his parents also like to gamble, then it is certain that the child will also follow in his footsteps.

My father was a gambler too but not with horse racing, it's the cock fighting. Every Sunday's he will be in the cockpit to bet for his preferred rooster although he didn't bring me there because kids aren't allowed in the area.
But whenever his rooster has a practice match against another rooster of his friend, he brings me there to see if I enjoy it. I don't. That kind of gambling is not my type of game. Animals killing each other is not my forte and it looks sad for me. Also, the odds given are like robbery. I have not seen a bet that went up to x2.00. Most of the time it's x1.85 downward because of the tax and other things that they take from you.
I can say I have not learned about casino gambling with my father, it's more because of my friends and other relatives.

[summonerrk]

I completely agree with you, because children really like to imitate adults and perceive all adult activities as something right, not realizing that their parents or brothers can often do something wrong or illegal.
Unfortunately, their older brothers are not always a good example, and later, when the younger brother grows up, it is difficult for him to get out of the gambling habit. Therefore, I want to encourage all readers to be a great example to your brothers and children.

It needs very long discussion to talks about parenting more details and that needs awareness from parents that they have children that can doing what their parents do. Parents can keep playing gambling but not with their children arounds them so their children will not do the same things as their parents.

Summarily, I believe you are right and it could only mean that parents should connect to their children, which is a very good thing to do instead of the many ways they are handling situations which will not still be so objective or result in the right solution. One of the major reasons why children go haywire and are susceptible to much of bad influences is because parents take the wrong path in dealing with them. This way, the children will always be hiding vital information from them. But in the situation where the parents connect with the children, advise them nicely and educate them where applicable instead of scolding or being cruel to them, the end is always good as the children will not be distancing themselves from such parents which will never cause later issues for both party, especially if the children have reached some certain adult age that needs the best guidance possible.

[TopTort777]

In Russian we have such a phrase "awared, warned". Imho that would be the best thing to do in connection with kids and gambling. It would be strange not to do that, but rather gamble secretly. It is strange that people in the beginning suggested to hide act of gambling, instead of explaining. For example, when we tell kids about fire, we warn them that it hurts, and we dont show them how it burns and hurts. Kids understand that and dont put their hand into fire. We do not follow "never make fire in front of kids" thing. Strange that only now, people start to understand that hiding or gambling secretly, or not gambling in front of them is not a solution.

Their is always dangers in everything, and for the child to gamble he must have watch is father win, if not for that the father was having wins am sure he would have stated that his father was struggling with but their was excitement that means the man would have been making money.  I don’t think that I know more about horse betting but I think that is going to be very risky because it is difficult to predict in horse races the only thing you need to focus on will be to pray for luck. And that is why everyone have to be careful with bets like horse betting anything racing too. When you make money from gambling you won’t want to stop because the money you are making from there won’t make you stop.

I don’t remember my dad gambling but naturally gambling is something I enjoy so much I discovered on my own, and if luck is not longer on your side then it is better to just let it go because you won’t be benefiting rather you will be losing not everyone gambling will favor so if it does not favor you then just let it go, not to cause more problems for your self.

You're on point mate. Gambling is not as bad as the society deems it to be, and the only reason they have this conception of gambling being a bad influence to the society is because of the greed expressed by gamblers. Most gamblers would want to gamble more thinking luck can last forever, and they eventually loses everything and if greed still strikes in they can also borrow or sell some valuable properties in chasing their loss. It's important that we teach our children about gambling and give them enough reasons and fact why they shouldn't gamble for any reason. Though when we were still children we were adding gamble to games we play but we didn't know that we were actually gambling, our parents try to stop us from playing those games but all we could see was just having fun as children, though no monetary value was added but you can sell off your wins to a salon store and use the money to buy chocolate sweet. It was fun but little did we know that we were actually gambling and that also gave me an hedge to understand gambling better. If your children out of curiosity finds their way out and get exposed gambling by their peers, they will keep it from you and that could be disastrous.

it is people who does not have a strategies to participate in gambling that makes gambling to look as if one kind disastrous thing so from my own understanding of gambling when you have the procedures the strategies or the formats nobody work on them your action of being a gambler, another thing that is important in gambling is when you have a statistics of the way you operate towards gambling I think that we did that statistics people will not look down on you that you are a gambler it is the way we dress people will address US so from my own Theory we are supposed to make provision of days to participate in gambling and also know that gambling have advantages and disadvantages because it is the disadvantages people look onto to condemn gambling

[Bitcoin_people]

As a parents for the sake of living an exemplary life it would be highly beneficial not to gamble in front of your kids especially the growing ones, same time we should not hide or let our kids be ignorant about Gambling.

At a growing age, children respond very quickly to what they see and hear. I definitely agree because I experienced it myself at home as a father with children. So it's certainly not a good act to do something in front of them, especially gambling.
It is recommended to interact more with them naturally with touch that makes them close to us.
Our habit with them will be permanent although I don't dare to guarantee 100%.

Yes, when children are at an age when they are very fond of learning, they are very interested in doing things that they see others doing. Of course, every boy observes the activities and actions of his parents and tries to do them, so children always respond more to the actions of those close to them. That's why gambling in front of children is never a good thing. Every guardian should never discuss gambling and vices in front of their children so that they get used to it. For an ideal life, every parent should guide his children towards good deeds so that children do not get attracted to gambling.
