Never gamble in front of your kids.

[Zadicar]

Sure... It is truly heartbreaking seeing people, specially children engaging in gambling for survival. Those are people who are literally wagering with their meals and hoping to be able to continue to afford food from their gambling sessions, it is very hard to see...
Perhaps that is why I am completely against introducing children to things like gambling or alcohol, it there are chances those thing would only turn into hardships further in their lives and make them reluctant to continue studying.
Maybe, that is why some games online have become so addicting in these recent years, you know, because they include mechanics like loot boxes and alike, which (depending whom you ask) it could be an equivalent to gambling.

One of the main reason why kids and underage gamble is because of the rate of poverty in the society and how gambling have been misconcepted in this part of the world, now people sees gambler's as people that have money since once in a while it happens that they win they bets,and by so doing they celebrate it to the point that it makes it look as if they will keep winning daily, and they won't tell those admirers how much they have lost in betting in the past, so the society have now embraced gambling as means to get rich quick, so children now sees gambling as a way to excape poverty and along the line they end up becoming addicted to betting.
In this part of the world online cryptocurrency casino's are very popular and at that most of the underage who could not gain access on some of the fiat casinos have now turn to cryptocurrency casino's as ways to excape being restricted because of they age, so this ball down to the same thing, which is failure in parenting since if the parents have not failed in providing the child with the necessary training and provision of basic needs the child won't have a choice than to dive into anything that seems to be a way to meet their needs, and Gambling is one of the readily available.

Not to discriminate those poor people or to those who are on the poverty side on which educating their kids wont really be their main priority or something that they could really be able to focus on
because they would really be rather that be in concern on how they would be able to survive on day to day living. Some parents which are gamblers would really be doing their activity despite of being seen
with their kids or totally aware on what they are doing.This is why high chances that with those kids they will really be eventually be ending up on becoming a gambler since this is the thing that they are seeing on their parents. This is why its not really that shocking anymore that they will really be on such condition. SOmehow not all parents that are on poverty side would really be having that kind of guiding their kids
on which there would really be still those families which does really still do those viable things and avoid as much as possible on something that could potentially put them into trouble.

It develops from what they've seen to those adults that sorrounds them, introducing gambling in the early stage of a young minds will result them to lean on it, thinking that it's okay doing such and like what you mentioned they will risk it all just to hope for some luck

If you are a responsible gambler, then you will know that there is nothing bad in gambling, but we all know the risk of gambling when someone gets addicted to it. I will say the young once’s are the once’s that easily get addicted to gambling. As a parent, if your children get to know about gambling at an early stage, then you are already causing problems for them, because when they start gambling and they start making money, most of them will take gambling as a place where they can be making money and might end up getting addicted to gambling, and you won’t be able to blame them because they know you are also a gambler, so how will you tell them what they are doing is bad?

It's a disaster for a child's life when he believes gambling is a way to earn money. That child may never try anything else as an adult to make money other than gambling. But, it's not sure who quickly gets addicted between kids and adults. I'm not sure if it's a misconception from me, yet adults quickly get addicted as well. The risk of gambling in a child's presence is way too higher than among grown-ups. Gambling peers may not have fully informed some parents of the harsh impacts this careless habit creates on their young kids. They may be doing this ignorantly and communicate this to friends who don't care about advising them.

Gambling in front of kids is one of the easiest ways to teach them how to gamble but the dangerous thing about it is that they'll use every opportunity they get to try engage in gambling not because they understand what it means but because they've seen an adult doing it and then wants to follow suit. It's easier for kids to become gamble addicts because their mental strength are usually not strong enough to guide them on when and not when to gamble. It's absolutely a bad habit for adults to gamble in front of kids because it'll likely ruin their future.
I knew a man who was doing it for fun in front of his child and before he could understand that the child have been practicing what he sees his father do, he's become addicted to it by using every money in his possession to gamble including his school fees. Let's all do our best to sensitize people around us on the effects of gambling in front of kids

Honestly, children's habits are always developed from the people around them. Let’s just know that whatever parents are doing is what their children will grow up to do. I have seen example in my society. When a father is a drunkard and a smoker, all three of his children have become worse drunkards than their father. Now, the man has become old, and he has no responsible son to take care of him. He now regretting his past.

So, as gamblers, we need to be very careful. When we are gambling as a parents we should allow our children should notice our habit of gambling, if not one day, we might just notice that our son has become a gambler. For a young person to  become gambler is serious problem because it can lead to bad habits like lying, borrowing around or even stealing when they get addicted, which can be very hard to control later.

Every responsible gambler need to keep their gambling activities far away from their children because children are very quick to learn and understand less about something without knowing the consequences. Gambling activities is not meant to be revealed to the family and it is something we need to work on and make sure that we are making money from our gambling activities while keeping it from the entire family. It is good we gamble at the work place of outside of the family home because this would reduce the exposure to little children who could see it as fun and a way to make money for themselves too.

If someone has good responsibility in gambling then I think they will have the same thoughts as us, in the sense that they know that gambling in front of children is an action that should not be done, they will know that it is an action that can indirectly cause disaster to a child's future, or what I mean is they know and understand that such actions can attract a child to try the same thing. But of course I am sure that maybe irresponsible gamblers or those who have an impulsive approach to gambling will not think too much about this, and actually regarding the issue of time to gamble I think everyone will always have free time in their daily lives, at least once a week when they are on the weekend, so I think there is no reason whatsoever that can be used as a form of defense to continue gambling openly especially in front of a child, as you said that we can gamble outside the home, but I do not recommend gambling at work, the point is you have to be able to divide your time according to its portion.

playing in front of your children is wrong but in a country where documents are falsified to play and everyone closes their eyes or where they let minors play it is all possible it is true that teaching must come first from the family but also the place where born and raised counts I started seeing betting when I was very little and where my mind was forming in my country 15 year old kids already play slots because no one controls them and they can do what they want so it's the life and sometimes what they teach you at home isn't enough

It is said that parents are the greatest teacher for a child. If any family members discuss gambling in front of their children then the children of that family will be encouraged to gamble. It will be difficult to control those kids at that time because they have learned it from their family teachers. And if this kind of situation happens in any country then any kind of misdemeanor will happen in that country. The most important thing is that kids always follow their parents. To get rid of that situation, every parent should definitely not share gambling related issues in front of their children.

Yes, parents are the greatest teachers for their children. Moreover, children's intelligence is dormant during childhood. So if we play gambling in front of them or discuss about gambling then their latent intelligence will be directed towards gambling i.e. they may become interested in gambling.

Moreover the current time we call modern time where now a child is very smart. They understand it before we tell them anything. So if we as parents share gambling content in front of our children, they will learn and try to apply it. If children expose themselves to gambling from a young age, it is harmful to their developing brain and may even become addictive. So for children to develop properly and beautifully we have to take such steps and eliminate some activities that hinder the development of children.

Our children are clones of us, which is why people say that just by looking at their children you can learn something about their parents.
Not only gambling but also bad habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol or intimate gestures between husband and wife...we should not do those things in front of our children because they will learn and repeat those things. Many people think that they only gamble for fun and that it does them no harm. Yes, it won't harm them because they can control themselves but they cannot control others. Therefore, we should limit gambling or bad habits in front of anyone, especially children when they are just blank sheets of paper and copy quickly.

You know, what you say will happen only with 50/50 probability. They might become addicted, but the same they might not become addicted. One of things that I like to do during free time is reading. I am sure that my kid saw me reading more than once, but no matter how I try, I cant force or raise same interest to reading from him. "Dad, that is boring, I dont want to". That is what I hear. The kid is at the age, when through reading a lot of things can be discovered, Sadly, toys and iPad are main objects of interest right now.

If parents can guide their children with right, their children will not doing something that can gives a bad effect to them. They will be carefully when they want to do something that they don't know and will asks to us or other adult before they do it. They will asks for the guidance and if what they do can gives a bad thing for them, they will not doing that. Our children now smarter than previous generation and they can know something if they interest with something and we can imagine how if they can understand about gambling in their age.

We as their parents must be careful when watching a video in front of them because they can focus without we know and trying to figure out what is that. Children can expose to gambling from a young age if they see some adult people playing gambling in front of them and there is a tend for them to do the same thing if they are not with adult people but their friends. We will not know what they do with their friends because we can't always with them in a whole day so we must be careful when guide and take care of our children.

Children are imitators, children naturally take in exactly what they see adults do. It is natural for adults to participate in gambling either hidden from children or indirectly. Adults should never do these things in front of children under 18 years of age, especially in front of children at home. So for the time being, adults should participate in gambling completely hidden from children so that children will be saved from the horrors of gambling and there will be no disruption in their education.

I walk into bet shops now and I see children betting it makes me wonder if there's no age limit anymore, why the sudden change?? I think it's because of what they Ve emulated from their elders, imagine a kid not up 13 years already knowing the betting system, that child won't be focused on any other thing apart from how to get money to gamble, it would do more harm than good because the exposure to that is too early..I agree with your point on this, adults should gamble somewhere completely hidden from children so they won't have that wrong influence, we must save the next generation..

It is unlikely that children will know or see the risk side, children will not see it because what is in their minds tends to only play with things that they like. Therefore, if we like to gamble, it is better to hide the gambling that is done in front of children.

I do not agree with gambling at work, because it can affect work performance which will decrease, in my opinion it is better to gamble at home, as long as you can hide it from children, besides that, don't think of gambling as a way to make money.

As far as I can imagine the child will indulge in bad deeds only if he does not get proper education from his family. So I think if the family can give proper education to the children then he will never get addicted to bad deeds or games. Every parent has his right.  The parents of any family raised in education do not want their children to get involved in any bad activities.

Well you would be surprised at what the world has turned into these days and even the children too, although I understand the context of what you are actually trying to say and relate when it comes to the child's education but for some peculiar reason the parents aren't actually the sole framework responsible for the child's behavior especially when it comes to gambling and responsible one at that.

Yeah as there are many factors that's affecting the development of the childrens brains, though same from the sentiment if the parents or the guardian will able to provide proper information and guidance to those young kids they might avoid or prevent getting hook but in the kind of our generation, one mistake of giving them an idea they have all the resources to learn and out of your knowledge they are already involve with gambling after seeing you playing in front of them.

This is a very valid point and that is why always its said that we should try to making sure we don't expose the children to gambling too early. I know that in the future these kids will later be exposed to it even if its not by their parents or their guardian. addiction to gambling isn't a thing for the adults alone, its even possible the children may even get more addicted than the adults because they would want to explore and knowing that this is something that could give them money effortlessly may be a good reason to keep trying repeatedly thereby becoming addicted.

Adults also get addicted to gambling quickly. Not being able to manage finances and emotions and greed to get more money is a combination that will make adults also become addicted to gambling. But children have a great curiosity and they do not know what they are doing is right or wrong. They will be very easily addicted because they have no responsibility at all. That is why it is important to know that never gamble in front of children. There is no doubt in that statement.
