Never gamble in front of your kids.

[maydna]

Of course, any games and time spent with younger brothers or sisters will affect their lives in the future. Often no one thinks about it, but older children are often told to look after the younger ones, because adults have a lot of work.

I know the danger in this and will not advise any married person or parents to leave their kids with older adults who are not themselves until the kids grow up to 18 before I allow them to start changing their environment and getting them to explore the world after you must have opened their brains with serious advises on how to leave indepently and what his limits are as a child of the house. Giving your children those tough discipline and showing them their boundaries will help to shape their character and reaction towards their immediate environment.

But you must not strict them too much rules because they will not like it and will trying to do something that you may not like. We knows that children in this era is different than in few years ago so parents must different approach to educate their children. Children now can understand many things by watch what other adult people do and they can follow it without adult people knows. It need more attentions from parents so they can supervise their children not doing something that can harm their life. When parents can stay close to their children, they will open what they gets from the outside and share it to their parents while asking something that they don't understand. It needs helps parents to guide their children not playing gambling, especially in front of their children so they will not trying to gambling with their friends.

I have a question to parents or those who gamble, but sometimes have friends with children around - have you ever noticed that children paid attention to gambling? Or asked for explanation? Or ever spent a significant time watching people gamble? I am curious what was your and adults reaction, and if it is possible to find out, if the children later asked or were curious what they have seen.

I am asking from the moment when a children already found out about gambling, and what should be adults next steps. Explain? But that might raise curiosity. Stay silent about it, like nothing happened. But children might ask what is gambling from strangers, or might not even pay a little attention to it. Saw and forgot.

Often no one thinks about it, but older children are often told to look after the younger ones, because adults have a lot of work. My older brothers also watched me when I was little, but then gambling was not widespread as it is now and I never saw them play. Perhaps this influenced me and I will never know how it would have influenced if they were making bets and I was watching it. But I definitely would have wanted to try it too, even though I didn’t know what to do there, especially considering the beautiful pictures and attractive music.

Hmm that's really an accurate angle of thought because siblings tend to learn faster from one another. Hence, a parent that trespasses down to his kid to learn gambling activity, every other child around him would be in trouble of going to see or watch his brother play. The widespread would be quite dangerous to the society. In the sense that people actually get tired of solving difficult problems. That's why some of these things are being neglected. And, instead of action, warning is being used as a solution. The child will as well learn his sibling's behavior as gamblers. Gambling parents all have different mindset and level of reasoning. Which makes it hard to resolve the issue of parents who play in their kid's midst.

Younger siblings often look up to their older ones especially if they are close in age. They think their older siblings are so cool. As a parent, it would be nice to see your kids getting along but hope that the older siblings know enough to not put their younger siblings at risk.

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.

The truth is that their is nothing they can do about it. Gambling company would always tell their customers to play responsibly and ask people who are below 18 not to make attempt to play, atleast they have let the public known they are not in support for young people to gamble.

If they never care about children they won't give these awareness to the public. Children who indulge their self into gambling it is not the fault of gambling companies because they can't do anything about it. It is our duty as parent, elderly ones to try not to allow the youngers one around us to get use to gambling. Gambling is just like alcohol and other things that are not meant for children,  if children are not well Brought up they can have access to all these things,  I don't think if a child have to do anything with these things the company will be hold responsible.

But in any case, we will not be able to be with them all the time, and if at school his peers teach him how to play gambling games, then it is unknown how he will behave further, continue to play, or after a while he will get tired of it and stop. Of course, most often they understand that this is not the best activity for him at the moment and they give it up. In any case, gambling is not the most dangerous thing that can happen to teenagers when they get into bad company.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

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.

The thing is that children have a curious mindset; even if they don't learn something from their parents, there may be an uncle or nephew that they can also find themselves around, and if those relatives are involved in such activities as gambling, the children can be learning while the parents may wonder where their kids have learned such a habit. So, it is also advisable for parents to always look after the well-being of their children, no matter how busy they are. Know what is troubling them; ask them questions about what they learned and things they have seen recently that they want to know more about; and give them listening ears. At first, some children may not be affected by the gambling lifestyle of their parents that they have learned, but at some stage in their lives, it may affect them.

life's a gamble, right? Choosing a spouse or betting on a stock tip. Protecting your kids? It's like denying gravity. We can teach kids gambling skills instead of discouraging it. Like poker, knowing the odds and reading the table is more important than praying for a good hand. You must teach those kids your plays, bluffs, and losses. They learn measured risks and money management that way. Maybe they'll be smart investors or avoid get-rich-quick schemes. You can always teach them

I must say that among many posts here, your one is completely different, as you stress on that we must learn kids to gamble, because it might be useful for them. I admire that you have a completely opposite opinion, as in discussion we can find truth. I also support that learning new is always good. As you never know what skill you will require in specific situation in future. But, what do you suggest to do? Show initiative first and start teaching them, or wait if they show interest or ask to teach, and only then start teaching?

Yes, life's a gamble. We can teach our children how to playing poker games but we must teach them how they can have a better self control. That will balance their life and will knows what they suppose to do if they wants to playing poker games. But it is better if we don't teach them gambling games, especially if they are still a child because that can makes them risks their life and lose their money in their early age.

We can teach them how to be a smart investors so that will helps them when they are grow up and they will knows what they must do with money. That will be useful for them if they knows how to treat money properly and not just make money for fills their daily life. They will also knows that they have a chance to make money for improve their wealth so we must guide them and teach them how to gets that.

Same with gambling. Who has created such stereotype that those who gamble are 100% addicted? Who has created a stereotype, that if kids sees other gamble, he will also gamble? Who has created a stereotype that gambling is bad?

Agreed, it's not certain that kids will repeat what they see their parents are doing. Especially, in the phase of adolescence, when they overall don't want to be like them in the future.

I am also getting mad when parents overreact, forbit everything. Dont do that, dont go there, dont jump, dont run, slow down and etc, because you will get hurt. How a kid learn anything if he hasnt experienced anything?

Right forbidding everything that you think is bad for your kids won't work in most cases. Sometimes kids want to try exactly what is forbidden. It makes that activity for them even more desirable. However, I still agree with the OP that you should never gamble in front of your kids, especially when you see that they respect you and will most likely copy what you are doing. That makes sense to me too.

I think that children should not be taught things that involve a lot of money. And even any turnover of money. I think this is dangerous for teenagers' thinking. It is best for children to start their financial journey with honest work. When every effort brings, albeit a little, but honest money. This is basic knowledge and children should understand this before they study investing or gambling.
If you remember, friends, that's how we started, and that's why we all have a literate view of money management and the ability to multiply our money. This means that we must bring up our children the same way we were brought up ourselves.

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.

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.

Of course, any games and time spent with younger brothers or sisters will affect their lives in the future. Often no one thinks about it, but older children are often told to look after the younger ones, because adults have a lot of work. My older brothers also watched me when I was little, but then gambling was not widespread as it is now and I never saw them play.

But I definitely would have wanted to try it too, even though I didn’t know what to do there, especially considering the beautiful pictures and attractive music.

The truth is that if they are matured to make their own choices they might see it as something that will not profit them good in future they might stop to do it. Although, gamble is a thing that one needs to take decisions before doing. If you gamble before taking a decision it might harm you when you start losing because you don't know what gambling is before you do it. However it's not right to gamble in front of children before children are not well educated about gamble activities.

The whole point here is to protect children from gambling as they grow up. Of course, this is the most vulnerable age for them and I prefer not to do anything that would provoke them to want to play, including placing online bets while being in the same room with them.

Besides everything, I want to add that sometimes even children and teenagers will understand on an intuitive level that gambling is something dangerous for them and behave carefully or not try it at all. And sometimes there are adults who have lived for about 50 years, have established themselves in their profession and family, and begin to behave like irresponsible teenagers, betting and losing all their money, without the opportunity to stop.

It is better to teach children when they already been a teenager so they can understand what the meaning of financial for them. Parents should explains about gambling and why gambling can gives big risks for their life so their children will not playing gambling. If parents can educate their children properly, their children will understand what is the good and bad things and how they will stay away from gambling.

Every parents can have different method to teach their children but parents should gives their time to closer to their children so they can communicate each other and they can understand what each other wants. But what most happen is parents and their children have miscommunicated and not understand what they wants so that leads them don't have a better relationship.

However, from very early age parents teach kids how to buy and sell. Kids even play with toys cash desk and fake money. When people consider gambling is about getting more money, then why when kids a little, we play with "buy low, sell high" strategy? The same ideas appear in children heads. Trade to earn and gamble to earn. However, we dont pay attention that trading is also addictive and dangerous, yet focus only on gambling addiction and stereotype that gambling is a big bad thing.

for my view, honestly it is not wrong to teach about money to children, whether it is investment or money management or how to get money, it is good in my opinion, but what we should give to children is not very complex about finance, they must be given a gradual financial education so that they do not violate the norm or the right path.
As a parent I think in general it is impossible to teach children about gambling, because it will have a bad impact on the child, because gambling will automatically be considered as a way to get money.

The average problem is due to the environment, which makes them recognize gambling, therefore it is necessary to supervise the association of children so that they do not come into contact with gambling or we can indoctrinate the child that gambling is a bad and despicable place, so that he automatically when his environment introduces gambling he will assume that gambling is a bad place.

I saw multiple times when users suggest idea of teaching their kids about crypto, so they could either start mining or investing as early as possible. Users dont say exactly that under aged should try to trade or invest into mining or crypto, but they want their kids to experience that as early as possible. It is clear that the final goal of that is to get money. And here, it looks like kids would gamble because their aim would be to get money as well. Both actions have a risk factor, but trading or investing is considered as a big YES, when gambling as NO. Dont you find it strange?

I believe that it is necessary to teach children exactly the theoretical principles of cryptocurrencies (to explain what blockchain, transactions and wallets with cryptocurrencies are).
And not trading or other financial instruments, because then it will look the same as if we were teaching children gambling. Since trading and gambling are similar, and children should not know this. They need to know how to earn money by honest work. This is for a good financial start.

yes maybe it can be said right if you look at it from the same point of view, but in my personal opinion, it depends on what kind of crypto trading, there are many types of trading in crypto, such as arbitrage, futures, spot and others, and from many of them have different risks, so it goes back to basically what kind of trading is taught to children, because all trading cannot be evenly defined for each type, and we know that some are like gambling and some are not, maybe you understand better.

Trading can also be considered a job in some places, so yes it depends on your preference, but for me trading like betting should not be taught to children, it's the same as teaching how to gamble.

I agree with you but we should not give mobile phones to children as a warning. Because if you give mobile to kids then they will know about gambling. Also give your kids as much money as they need, because whenever you give more money then they will spend it in the wrong way. Gambling is very bad for children and it can ruin their lives. So how your baby grows up is completely in your hands.
