Never gamble in front of your kids.

[hedgeh0g]

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

That is right, everything is in our hands. And it is our responsibility to show if gambling is something good or bad, for earning or for entertainment. As well as it is our responsibility to protect them from ruining their lives. But I am not really sure that gambling can destroy it. Gambling can destroy childrens life only when they grow up and start earning. Underaged and without money can not do much with gambling. Thus, they have a very long period to learn, and to change their lives.

As to not giving mobile phones - that is impossible not to do. Or really hard. Because when others around give their children mobiles, it is hard to stand out and be different. And even if they get mobiles, I dont think that they will be interested in gambling a lot. Adults are interested in gambling only, because they already know how not easy it is to get money, how much everything cost, and how simple (with luck) you can get money from gambling.

You mean "don't" give them too much money. Yeah, that's right. I have been giving my kids food when they go to school and I think they should get used to that rather than having money. I give him just a little bit of money just in case something goes wrong and I cannot pick him up from school. But whenever he goes home, he quickly puts the money I gave him into his piggy bank. I am happy that he is already learning how to save money and actually, he just wished for a smartphone from his savings and I got him one.
Make them learn how important money is and I think everything will go smoothly and there's a possibility they will not end up as gamblers in the future.

If we are good at educating our children, they will grow up to be good children like your children. You are smart enough as a parent to give understanding to your children. As parents, we really need to pay attention to them by giving them the love they need, giving them supplies and a little money is enough proof. If as parents we really care about them, if we give them a lot of pocket money, they will get used to eating out and can use the wrong things and when they grow up they won't appreciate money because their parents are used to giving them a lot of money.
There is nothing wrong if children have desires and try to save so that they can achieve what they want. The most important thing is that we as parents always provide support and when they have a cellphone with their savings, it is better to use that cellphone for things that are appropriate for their age and always pay attention to their activities to avoid gambling advertisements that make them curious.

We can gives mobile phones to children but with supervision and guide so they can use that properly. Children are susceptible from the temptation to try anything they see so if their parents can helps them to explain what the good and bad for them. If we can explain with right, they will understand and will not closer to the wrong thing that can makes them gets a bad things.

With a right guidance, they will follow our suggestion and will see the bad things as something that they don't needs to do. They will not trying to do that even if their friends asking them to join with them because they already knows the effects that they can gets. Our children will see that gambling can gives bad effects to their life and will stay away from gambling because they knows the risks behinds of gambling.

You have made a good point where today's young boys and girls are not doing their primary level studies just for mobiles. Young children are so addicted to mobile that they spend most of their time using mobile instead of studying. At present, if you want to use mobile apps, ads from gambling and casino sites come from every app, so seeing all those ads, young children create a kind of curiosity about gambling and casinos. And from this curiosity, young children become addicted to gambling and casinos unexpectedly. So no matter how much awareness we as Guardians are currently raising about gambling, until we can take mobile phones away from young boys and girls, we will not be able to protect children from these dire consequences.

So no matter how much awareness we as Guardians are currently raising about gambling, until we can take mobile phones away from young boys and girls, we will not be able to protect children from these dire consequences.

First, if you take away kids mobile, you will turn into their enemy Nr1. This is not just a device they use all the time, this is how they socialize. Take away mobile, and kids would laugh at your kids and bully for that. That will create much more harm than potential gambling addiction.

Second. You dont have kids and dont have much experience how to raise them. Taking away, banning - this is not protection. This is postponing problem and pumping it. Why kid must be punished (by taking away mobile/toy/their social life), if parent isnt able to explain what gambling is and its consequences. That parenting fail.

Third. When they spend time in mobile, they learn also. They gain communication skills, train their creativity, bunch of other skills. Why do you think that kids must learn all the time? Childhood is not an army, when you wake up, learn, rest (by reading), sleep, repeat. A bet when you was a kid, you did maximum not to study.

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.

Some parent always fail to understand the fact that their kids are watching what ever they are doing and they will want to imitate them. And some parents do not care and that you will see that most of the problems we are facing currently is as a result of bad parenting because aside gambling you see some parents even smoking in front of their kids and I know some of them do it out of ignorance all such parents needs is canceling. If you want to smoke as a parent you can just smoke in your room or toilet and that way you avoiding them seen you smoking.

And now that they have all kind of gambling platforms online you can decide to just gamble on your phone. No body will even know what you are doing on your cell phones. This are just measures to be taking to aviod your kids seen you gambling so that they don't follow your foot step. Because every parents will wants the best for their kids, because at the same time their are parents that don't don't actually care. As a father the number one thing that comes first is your kids.

I've watched parents who try to utilize parental control on their wards phones but failed. Lots of ways exist to handle such disputes. Such as having a regulated time for internet access in the house. And the kids would be observed whenever the window is open for browsing. The moment it gets to the specified time for switching off the internet, parents should endeavor to do so. It's for the good of their kids and the society. Generally, If they are not being taken good care of, they'll be a torn in the flesh of their parents and the society. Hence, it's crucial that parents devise more meaningful and effective means of handling such problems in various home across the world.

I agree with you that if we can provide good knowledge of blockchain and different crypto wallets to the kids at the moment then they can acquire better knowledge or skills in the future. It is also true that they should not be taught trading at a young age as this will make them more inclined towards money. It is better to teach them at the time when they need it. But I would not equate trading with gambling. Though in my opinion trading and gambling two different things  but may have some similarities but I will definitely look at the two separately.

In essence, if gambling is negative, then of course you shouldn't do it in front of your children. Because after all, any negative activity will certainly not be good if it is done in front of your child, because it is very likely that your child will follow it too. However,  if you play gambling which is basically just entertainment and you don't think it's negative activity,then maybe it won't be a problem if you do it in front of your child. But yes,  the point is that anything that is basically negative, ofcourse it will not be good to do in front of your child and that includes many aspects and not just about gambling.

Yes, when we trust our children with a cell phone, make sure they can be responsible for whatever they play and learn there, as far as I know the internet can still be restricted and filtered so that gambling advertisements don't appear that they see on their social media, the point is we have to can limit it, don't let anything about gambling advertisements be on our children's cellphones and yes, it's true that it's also important to limit the money given to our children so that they don't overdo it, teach them to save and not use money for things that are useless, for example gambling, because people won't gambling without any money in his pocket. So limiting it can also be an alternative to prevent our children from staying away from gambling and not trying it.

No matter how much you restrict your children's finances, they will still be able to save money to buy lunch at the school cafeteria and save up for what you forbid them. It is normal for people to experience the forbidden, so don't be surprised when your child secretly gambles. I believe that children do not need to prohibit anything, you need to talk to them and explain complex things in a language accessible to them. We were all children and we were all forbidden something, but now many of us realize that parental prohibitions were ineffective. Do not use techniques that do not work.
