Can old generation cause the habit of gambling in young generation ?

[usekevin]

I think this is definitely family matter and families should take care of their kids very closely. I think its not good to force block your kids from gambling. I would rather suggest parents to be accepting, listening and become good teachers. I think parents should teach their kids about how exactly gambling works and its risky points. Gambling is fun activity unless you are addicted to it. I would never scare my kids away but would like to see them with high self confidence.

The gambler at the adult age,the gambling involvement will not affect him at anyway.But if the gambler was get into the gambling at their younger ages,he will get money from their parents for each game.If he loss all the money,they will get into the crime to get the money for the gambling.So the elder should take care of their younger children in their family.The parents should find the exact talent of their children,it help them to move forward of their children in the right way.The kids who get addicted at their young age will not keep their mind in the broader way,they will satisfy with their small winnings from the gambling site.

I don't think there is much we can do to help our young generations. Environmental factor is playing a vital role in your situation. We cannot just make it not exists. If old people are doing something that may cause young people to get involved in gambling then we can try to tell the old peoples. But I  doubts that will make them understand you. The generation gap is here very big and trying to help the children won't do any better. If the elders aren't listening then why would the young would.

Let them just learn their own lessons at their own pace and time.
We can't force them to change their path and believe that they will really change for the better.
Sometimes they need to realize things on their own because the change will come from themselves.

At least we can always give them some advise on what they should do and shouldn't do because we've gone through with a lot of things especially in gambling.

It's true that we can't force them but leaving them some words of wisdom and tips might just teach and make them remember the important lesson that they'll realize soon.

Sometimes they need to realize things on their own because the change will come from themselves.

Yeah, some may become expensive realization or if they listen, it will cost them less money.

Indeed, the young adult will continue to find ways to get money to gamble, once they already lose what they've got from their parents they will seek for other source to the point that they may steal which really possible when someone got involve into gambling, they need to please the desire inside them and they will do even things that they not usually do.

Letting them to follow the path if you have that chance to change it? Personally, if I'm on that shoe, I will not allow that. Trying to find a better ways to keep them safe and not to repeat that same mistake if it's already in the family or in the culture where they belong, though your point is valid, if that young mind will see it that way, because most of the time, they will not see it that way and instead, they will just continue the process.

There are some old people in my family which are paying cricket fantasy games. They usually talk about the games and their performance is matches almost daily. It is obvious that if any younger guy in family will listen about this, he will also be eager to know more about this. How can I stop the younger generation in my family being carried away by this and focus on other important things like studies only ?

Your only move here is to give them warning that gambling isn't for them to explore yet and that it's not a fun thing to be a part of it at a young age, as others have pointed out already, let them fuck around and find out, let them learn the lesson themselves, you've guided and warned them already, there's nothing that you can do from then and there. Or if you're the assertive kind, you can always just tell those uncles to stop talking about fantasy games when there's a function in the household and that kids are nearby.

That's not the mindset, there's a lot of stuff that you can do that can influence the younger generation and not all of them have the same approach so it looks as if there's not a lot that we can do, when it comes to gambling it just so happens that guidance and prohibition is the only thing that you can do with too much prohibition being such a bad idea because kids will just try it anyway. Even if the gap is just too big, they're functioning adults already so they have enough brain capacity to read the room regarding this kind of stuff and wisdom doesn't come with old age so even if they're old, that don't automatically make them correct.

If you are always carried away within your family and you do not notice that minor children or young people hear or see, it appears that you are becoming careless with what comes out of your mouth about gambling. That's not a good habit. We adults should adjust, not the children around us.

We are the ones who understand more, so we should have the initiative to avoid them, or if we can't avoid it, we should explain it to them properly so that they don't have curiosity to try or find out about the gambling that you are doing. So, let's act as role models for the children around us.

Adults seriously need to be careful of what they say or do around children because these children learn by observation.  This is the stage where their characters and habits are being formed.  And what ever they learn as kids, they grow with them. A child who is exposed to gambling at an early age (whether consciously or unconsciously) might get so addicted to gambling as they grow that they will find it difficult to get separated from it. Adults have a role to play here, help these children live a comfortable and normal life when they grow up by showing and saying around them things meant for children consumption only. Let them have the privilege of choosing which path they want to follow themselves when they become adults, so they can be solely responsible for their own decisions.

The children are their reflection of the old generations,if the old generation was from the trading background.This leads to the young people to learn the trading at their younger age compared to their own generation kids because of their parents.The traditional trading and skills was followed by their younger generations.By the inheriting habits the children of the old generation gambler also get into the gambling by nature.They will do gambling better then the experienced gamblers by nature.The important thing in this was the young generation gamblers will not get addicted to gambling because they will start to hear the words from their parents and grandparents.

There was a story I was always told when I was a kid that a family of alcoholics will have more people grown to be alcoholics same thing as smokers and I think this will also apply to gamblers because the more the elderly ones keep discussing this issues in the presence of their underaged, the more crave they might have to wanting to try this stuffs out for themselves but I think gambling is always a personal decision and one who is self disciplined wouldn’t still gamble no matter how much influences they get as there are also cases where a child is born into a family of smokers but still never smoked for once.

The new generation learns a lot from the old generation, especially a bad habit people can learn more quickly. Gambling makes people dream of financial prosperity so people get hooked on it very quickly. But dreaming of gambling income is not as easy as making it a reality. You cannot save the new generation of your family from gambling even if you want to. Because gambling sites promote them in such a way that it attracts the new generation very quickly

I agree with you a bit because it’s true that it’s very challenging to keep the current generation away from gambling, Because there is a lot of promotional campaign in our TV or other social media which our new generation gets involved in gambling very easily after a certain time. So i think every family should create awareness about it to their children.

I agree with you mate, as it is better for adult to keep their gambling discussion away from their kids so that the children don't end up practicing what they heard from their parents. This is why gambling discussions can be done when they have gone to school or when they are not around the house.

I have seen a family that because the father discusses his gambling activities with his friends in the present of his son. unknown to him that his son will go and practice what he heard and saw his father doing. It is very dangerous to leaf out children into gambling because we discuss about it in front of them since they will think that it is something good.

Like i always say and will continue to say, gambling is not necessarily a bad thing that we should try to discourage people from doing or engaging in it, where it all becomes bad is if it is being abused, so, what i personally feel is more appropriate for us to do is for us to keep teaching and preaching responsible gambling, primarily, gambling should be seen as a fun thing to do, the making money part of it should be secondary, but the whole issue of irresponsible gambling starts when this is being twisted, like the gambler places their need for money as the primary reason why he or she is gambling, and doesn't even consider the aspect of gambling for fun, this are things i believe we should discourage and i believe we will have a better gambling society coming and going forward into the future.

At 13 years a child's decision is his and the blame goes to him if he ends up making the wrong choice. Gambling isn't for kids under the age of 18. A teenager below the required gambling age bracket in his country is expected to abstain from participating in gambling. Insisting on going against the rules would be to his detriment. The duty of his parents is now over, and all he's been told about gambling at a younger age should be enough to guide him not to gamble recklessly. Then if he decides to gamble after 18, it's right, but demands adequate supervision from his parents. Mistakes are around the corner for teenagers who choose gambling at an early stage. Parents shouldn't fight their kids over gambling, instructing the young lad is necessary in helping him avoid addiction. Aggressively resisting them from gambling would improve their secret gambling activities. And the parents won't be able to detect when the child is on the wrong gambling path. Looking into the environmental factors, matters a lot, as all growing youth have multiple lessons to learn from their environment; now or later.

Winnowing out the good and bad factors is the duty of the parents. Kids don't know much about a few things; pros and cons of gambling. Money talk sweetens the ears of every child. Purchasing new toys triggers their interest in finding quick means to earn money. Kids are handed out mobile phones to communicate with parents, when out of home. Parental guide on the phone is great, but kids seem to bypass them with a few tricks they'll learn from schoolmates. Hence, the child can gamble on the same phone his parents are supposed to receive notifications from Google that his ward is visiting prohibited websites. Keeping a close eye on the child helps in catching him when cheating the parental control rules. Parents are expected to work very hard in monitoring the internet activities of children; no excuses. While the environment, school, peers, etc add a new attitude to a child, parents are expected to review those behaviors, and then decide whether to remove or allow them. So that as an adult, the child will not be welcomed into a more difficult world.

The older people are talking about games and the results of the games with themselves, and the younger ones are listening to them. Do they in any way talk about how much they wager and how much they win from any single game that they bet? If not, then there is nothing bad that they are doing. All I see is that those people are just talking about games and nothing about gambling or winning.
 
If there is anything that those younger ones are supposed to adopt or learn, it is that they will learn about sport and might enjoy watching the game. Maybe if they want to get involved in gambling, it will be them themselves who will have to lecture themselves about gambling based on the love that they have developed for sport or any other form of game that they are watching.

Well, on many occasions we have heard people talk about their experience in the game, it is something for us to take experience and learn, in any case when we are in a casino we must be very emphatic people who must always have self-control, just putting Play what we are willing to lose, that is normal, but those of us who have always had grandparents, they have given us their credit, and it may be that some say that caisnos are very nice to have fun or something, but it is also good to say that Los caisnos will always be a company where we as players must be very careful, always our grandparents, or people who are older than us, at some point they have told us about this because it could be a cause to do some type of activities, in my case When I was very little, I asked my grandmother about the casinos and she told me that it was dangerous, that every person who got into it lost money and became addicted, that there were many people who lost houses and everything. .

When my grandmother told me that, I was scared, but it remained in my mind that why casinos existed then, then I didn't think about that anymore, and well, when I was already an adult, I already had a different way of thinking , I know that casinos are companies that will always have an advantage over gamblers because they have to ensure their profit and that is something normal, something that we must see as extremely important to know well what we are thinking about, of course all this This is what people who have more life experience can say to us at any given time, however one takes advice and also makes a filter of the things that one can accept and consider for one's life, such as good, bad and bad. This makes us what we are , in some cases it is like that, in others there are books, financial advice.

We cant really be able to deny that in the eyes of those young people who do able to see those older ones then they would really be believing on whatever the things that they've been saying and doing.
On which it would really be giving out that kind of huge probability that it would really be giving out that kind of influence in speaking about on the things that they are dealing with. This is why
as a parent then we should really be that watchful when it comes to our actions because if we do really make out those things in front of our kids specially gambling then most likely
they would really be walking on the same path as yours. If you dont like for your children to be gamblers then better not to let them see in the first place.

Better not to lead them to have that interest if you don't want your children to follow that same path, if you care enough for their future I agree not to give them any idea about it, or if in case they are seeing it with other people from you community better to be their to answer each question that theyhave in mind.

It's true that the influence from the culture or nature where you are living do have that weight when we talk about development of child interest, especially if the parent itself have that affiliation with gambling.

The culture or nature is the two influence for children as you rightly have said. In the case of nature, I think that can be explained with what happens around the house where the children are raised. If the father have some obnoxious character, he is suppose not to be displaying them in the front of his children because they would naturally imbibe into it. And also if there is bad teaching or learning process in the neighborhood, social gathering or school which are also agents of socialization the children are most likely going to exhibit it. Therefore, there is need to take children away from certain illicit behaviour so that they can grow like children and not to learn character above their age because they are not yet equipped mentally to handle such habit like child gambling.

And just like on what i have said that we oldies or mature people do really know on what are the imposed risks of gambling on which it would really be just that understandable that we shouldnt really let our kids do able to touch up that area because risks on making themselves addicted would really be there and we do know on what are  the consequences once you are hooked up with gambling addiction. This isnt really just that talking about gambling addiction but also other things which would really be affecting you out negatively specially if you do deal up with excessive manner
then you would really be  that ending up on a bad way. We do know that everything which is excessive would really be that bad. This isnt really that something that could really be
that ideal on letting them see about these things.

I like your opinion as you elaborate the intension of my comment. That's reality, as children are still dwelling on what they are witnessing and, for them, those things that they are seeing from adults are something that they can follow, without proper support to make them understand them, those things will grow inside them, and they will simply follow it as, for them those things are normal.

We as adults/ parents should take that responsibility to make sure that those young folks will inherit good things and not those that we don't want them to grow up with.
