Never gamble in front of your kids.

[TopTort777]

I am also strict, I don't let anyone even my kid to look at my phone and even my computer. I'd allow to use my computer if I am there to watch out what's being done on my computer. Just for games, it's fine but if there's something odd that I didn't know, I'm telling already to stop doing it because it's not good and good thing that I am being heard and obeyed.

So, to the dads out there. It's very important not to let the kids do their own thing as if they know what they do. We're still the ones to maneuver what should be visible to them and what's not. If we allow them to do what they want, it's for sure that they'd be doing something bad at all or much worse hide things from us without our consent and do it, we have to be vocal but at the same time friendly to them so they won't feel that they're being strangled by us to anything they do.

I think there is a word missing or one is extra here. Otherwise it does not make sense.

Why do you consider manoeuvring as completely banning or not showing? Wont it be better to do certain things, but under your total surveillance? I think that your kid is still young and havent learned what tablet is. It is fine that you have chosen "not or less gadgets" approach, but wont it make your kid "not modern" or "as other modern kids"? When everyone are in phones and gadgets, your kid will look weird if he plays with toys.

It's because I think until they have their own jobs and money to be spent, then they're free to explore and do it on their own. But until that they have been relying to their parents, they shouldn't do such things. I don't mind whether my kid will be classified as not modern kid. As parents, you've got your own way of taking care of your kid for which you think is right and so as me and the others too.

I don't think as well that a kid that don't know how to use a table or a phone is weird at all. It's different from getting into gambling than just plain use of these gadgets to play or watch videos. Anyway, my kid knows how to use one and I'm monitoring what's being done to the gadget and that's where I am stepping in.

There is no reason for them to be interested in gambling when there are more fun activities around. Of course I try not to let them see me gambling, because I want their interests were not associated with risk.

Just curious how old is your kid. Mine goes to school and everyone has mobile phones in the class. Your kid without a mobile (because havent earn enough on it) would definitely stand out. I might even think that there is a chance that the kid will get bullied because of that. But we are here not to discuss that thing. That does not mean if everyone gambles in the class, I would allow my kid also to gamble. However, the kid will be familiar and introduced what gambling is.

Sorry for jumping on you, but a have few more questions. Since you are monitoring what your kid does with gadgets, do you monitor what he does outside the house? Who are his friends? What they do? And what will be your reaction, if other kids will introduce gambling to him.

That's a good parenting if you've talked about it and directed them about the risk in gambling and all of the probabilities that they might get. As for me, I'm not yet on that part and I don't think that I'll be on that type of parenting or advising to my kid any time in the future. Those ads that they see on the internet are really intriguing a lot of kids but good thing that yours are not interested on it. But even so, you still need to check them from time to time because we've been there and deny things to our parents that interests us. You're doing a good job with your kids that you've thrown the interest away with gambling from them.

Mine is still quite young and also goes to school. But aware of how to navigate and use smartphones and tablets because we've got a lot of it. But with one word that I say when about the browsing and videos that's being watched, good thing that my kid obeys me if I say stop and browse, watch another.

Sorry for jumping on you, but a have few more questions. Since you are monitoring what your kid does with gadgets, do you monitor what he does outside the house? Who are his friends? What they do?

Yes, I do. My kid don't really go outside oftenly, and the friends are also my relatives and what they do is just typically watch kid videos on TV and minecraft stuff.

And what will be your reaction, if other kids will introduce gambling to him.

Man, I haven't thought about this but I don't want to see it happen someday. I'm not yet ready for it.

Well you're doing the right thing telling them about the risk of gambling how it can ruin ones life when approached wrongly. Because even though you find ways to hide it from them , there are still sources at there that can bring gambling to their awareness. Is not just that the source may endup planting the wrong mindsets in their mind, like for instance making them to think that they can get rich quick when gambling . Without bringing the risk attached to it to their awareness.

Man, I haven't thought about this but I don't want to see it happen someday. I'm not yet ready for it.

Want it or not, they will find out about gambling one day, and I really doubt that it will happen only when they are adults already. So my advice as a parent to parent, find some free time to think about gambling and kids, and telling what it is, so it wont hit you suddenly. Have a back-up plan. Dont know what is a situation with gambling in your family, but imho it is better if your kid will be prepared to it, instead of one of his friends say "I know one cool game, wanna see it?".

Thanks for the advice, I'd try to consider that. But for now, I don't really want to think about it and don't want to see it come happen to me, although with various thoughts of mine trying to avoid it, it is for sure going to come someday. I'd prepare myself first and when I think that I am prepared for it, that's the time that I am going to give the idea about gambling and why it should be avoided as a kid or teen. So far, my family's situation is fine and I don't have to think of much bigger problem but only to bring food to the table.

If children often see gambling advertisements, the probability that they will try to play one day will be higher than if they have no interest in games at all. Children always want to be like adults; the first cigarettes, no matter how much their parents scare them with the harm to their health, will still be tried. And they will not gamble until they have some free pocket money. Parents need to be attentive to their children's characters and their passions. If they have an interest in money, their desires exceed the capabilities of their parents, or they are very gambling, and playing other games, there will always be a risk that they can become addicted to games. Only honest and trusting communication with your examples will be accepted by children. Everything we hide always comes out one day, and then all the lessons simply lose meaning, since the closest people teach what they do not adhere to.

Those who are conscious guardians will never think about the child's future and gambling together because the child's future is very precious to them and therefore they will never participate in gambling by imagining the child's future.
But there are some inconsiderate guardians who do not think about the future of the child and participate in gambling in front of the younger children of the family so that these younger children learn to master the bad habits in themselves due to the inconsiderate actions of the parents. If the children of these families do not develop a career when they grow up, their lives become miserable with time and they cannot achieve great success in life.

They think that their dads and moms are superheroes and whatever we do, they'd surely going to imitate as well. And that's why as a parent, we have the responsibility to keep things away from them until they're on the right age. Parenthood differs from each culture but it's best as a parent to just keep them away from all forms of gambling. Let them do their own thing when they get older and more mature and earns their own money but hopefully they won't develop as a gambler.

Lol.. you know as children they would always feel that way that whatever their parents does is fine, for instance someone like me don't always take that from my children I don't allow them to look my phone or my system when I am in a long predictions that could give me winning why because each time they comes close to me they keep asking Dad what's this what does this site do like I am being choke up by questions. So to avoid much of the attention whenever I am doing long term predictions I would make sure I am alone doing it without someone by side.

I am also strict, I don't let anyone even my kid to look at my phone and even my computer. I'd allow to use my computer if I am there to watch out what's being done on my computer. Just for games, it's fine but if there's something odd that I didn't know, I'm telling already to stop doing it because it's not good and good thing that I am being heard and obeyed.

So, to the dads out there. It's very important not to let the kids do their own thing as if they know what they do. We're still the ones to maneuver what should be visible to them and what's not. If we allow them to do what they want, it's for sure that they'd be doing something bad at all or much worse hide things from us without our consent and do it, we have to be vocal but at the same time friendly to them so they won't feel that they're being strangled by us to anything they do.

That is it because it's always common that children loves doing research and immediately they have that access to start operating our system or anything other systems at home they would go make their personal findings to know what their parents are using that particular site to do and if they does then practicing begins because they would want to understand how the system entirely function and, immediately they discovered that there are games that are more familiar to them and they knows they could stake to make money out it they don't mind developing more passion for it. Provided they would make profit from it and without knowing how the overall system of gambling works, by the time they discovers that they lost what they stake they would want to go again to prove that they knows the games naturally.

Parenting is leading; it isn't babysitting. Excessive protection? Not a nest; that is a cage. Children pick skills by doing, by falling, by getting back up. Shield them from everything; you are teaching them to be terrified rather than strong

Yes, the planet is an insane place. Still, sheltering your children from it? That does not provide the response. Instruct them in thinking, in questioning, in making their own decisions. Be there, present, but avoid dictatorial behavior

Talk not at your children but rather with them. Be fair yet also strong. You can befriend them without acting like a push-over. Parenting is like walking a tightroze. You have to keep them secure even if they should be exploring. It's about respect; it's about trust; it's about allowing them flourish into their own damned personalities

I believe people with the way the train and take care of their children, unlike the Africans it's very easy to culture their children and parents are very strict. Most parents doesn't give their children that free will or access to be able start digging into what would endangered their lives and their overall performance especially when it comes to studying the Western country are more exposed to practical aspect of their lives.

That's the dangerous part of the society most kids won't escape. Schools, environment, neighbors, and organisations are all that contributes to a child's thoughts and beliefs. Kids are not born for one person to groom, so, it's the duty of parents to take seriously where they send their children.

Because their behaviors depends on who they listen to, and what they see. It's not necessarily about gambling around the kids. They can get exposed to the wrong clique that'll initiate a wrong gambling perspectives.

I love the fact that you're teaching the kids about the risks and dangers of gambling. That tells that you're a parents that's looking out for your kids and doing everything possible to protect them from engaging in on activities that might ruin their future.

 But from your submission, I think there's something you're getting wrong and that's about them seeing gambling adverts many times while you conclude that the adverts won't have any effect on them since there are other fun things to engage in their disposals. That not how kids understand life so the best thing to do is to set their internet devices to "Child protection" so they'll not be able to watch adverts that aren't ment for kids below 18 years.

If the children of these families do not develop a career when they grow up, their lives become miserable with time and they cannot achieve great success in life.

Those who are extra conscious guardians and guard to much, have kids that are not independent; cant do anything themselves; live whole life with parents. That is that dark side of overprotection. Kids have zero experience about the world, and totally rely on the parents and what parents say. Such parents give zero freedom to kids and create ideal copies of themselves from kids. I believe that such kids grow up unhappy later. If parents dont let their kids experience problems and difficulties of life, experience bad and sad, that is very bad for kids future. Such kid will experience gambling at 40+ for the first time, and problems he would get or can make at this age are more distructive, then finding out what gambling is at 15, play with his dad and switch attention on something else later.

Because their behaviors depends on who they listen to, and what they see. It's not necessarily about gambling around the kids. They can get exposed to the wrong clique that'll initiate a wrong gambling perspectives.

therefore the importance of parental attention which I think will find them when they have mastered and adapted to the outside world as you said. attention, supervision, education taught by parents will make them able to think and choose which things they think they should do and avoid. besides that the majority of people tend to enjoy games, especially now where it is very easy for people to access many games, therefore parents must be able to pay attention to their children so as not to take the wrong steps.

children tend to be easily attracted to what they see, especially with games because there is a sensation of pleasure and excitement that they will feel. but I don't think it's possible for parents to gamble in front of their children, maybe if there are I think the parents don't care about what will happen to their children or they don't educate their children properly. it's also strange if there are parents who don't educate their children properly because I think all parents want the best for their children so they should teach good things and tell them bad things to avoid.

You are right, parenting is a combination of different actions like those you have mentioned, but parenting isnt just saying no, or restrict, or hide something. When people say "dont gamble in front of kids", I wonder how many times do you gamble at home in general? I think its one special day, like Friday night or Saturday. And not every week. So a kid will parents gamble just 2 or 3 times per month, and not every time the kid will pay a special attention to what parents are doing. I think it will be 10-15 times per year when parents gamble and kid spot it. And after a few times they see it, they get familiar with it and not give much attention to it. So is it possible to get addicted through seeing gambling activity just few times a month or year? If a parent gamble 24/7 365 days a year that is a different story. But if we really gamble rarely, is it that dangerous for kids? Personally I dont believe in that.

That is it because it's always common that children loves doing research and immediately they have that access to start operating our system or anything other systems at home they would go make their personal findings to know what their parents are using that particular site to do and if they does then practicing begins because they would want to understand how the system entirely function and, immediately they discovered that there are games that are more familiar to them and they knows they could stake to make money out it they don't mind developing more passion for it. Provided they would make profit from it and without knowing how the overall system of gambling works, by the time they discovers that they lost what they stake they would want to go again to prove that they knows the games naturally.

Yeah, their curious mind takes all of those research and want to touch everything that we own specially the gadgets. Kids today are intelligent and can easily navigate gadgets that many adults can't do. Gambling is gambling, regardless of how profitable they could be based on their words, it's not actually a good one for them to show or let them see things related to it.

Parenting is leading; it isn't babysitting. Excessive protection? Not a nest; that is a cage. Children pick skills by doing, by falling, by getting back up. Shield them from everything; you are teaching them to be terrified rather than strong

Yes, the planet is an insane place. Still, sheltering your children from it? That does not provide the response. Instruct them in thinking, in questioning, in making their own decisions. Be there, present, but avoid dictatorial behavior

Talk not at your children but rather with them. Be fair yet also strong. You can befriend them without acting like a push-over. Parenting is like walking a tightroze. You have to keep them secure even if they should be exploring. It's about respect; it's about trust; it's about allowing them flourish into their own damned personalities

That's a good explanation and analogies there but parenting really differs per parent and we know how to deal with it for our own kids. In summary of it, whichever strategy you think will help you to be a parent and how parenthood goes for kids, follow and continue it.

That's the dangerous part of the society most kids won't escape. Schools, environment, neighbors, and organisations are all that contributes to a child's thoughts and beliefs. Kids are not born for one person to groom, so, it's the duty of parents to take seriously where they send their children.

Because their behaviors depends on who they listen to, and what they see. It's not necessarily about gambling around the kids. They can get exposed to the wrong clique that'll initiate a wrong gambling perspectives.

but I don't think it's possible for parents to gamble in front of their children, maybe if there are I think the parents don't care about what will happen to their children or they don't educate their children properly.

Kids of problem gamblers can be facing such an unhealthy mental growth. Good parents wouldn't gamble around their kids, knowing the consequences of their actions. On second thought, not all parents are technically brilliant at handling a child's behavior. A related question on Quora, along with an interesting answer from a single mother, confirms that every child has a different personality. What works for child A wouldn't for child B.

Parents need to watch their kids closely and observe their weak points. Not all children are disturbed by talking to them about the cons of gambling, as this blog suggests. While a child can learn from the gambling instruction from his parents, another may perceive it as publicity and go ahead to gamble. They're children who don't deserve to hear conversations about gambling in the first place.
